David has learned how to swing without having someone push him from behind. (Donovan and Michael have not quite reached that stage in their mobility awareness.) With this new freedom comes the desire to explore the possibilities. Obviously you can swing higher but ultimately the principles of basic physics work against you and limit the altitude that you can achieve, even with amazing technique in the swing pump action!
Not to be limited by such trival matters, David has graduated to swing jumping! He swings just as high as he can and jumps out of the swing! He's pretty proud of himself and his new daring actions and loves to display his courage to both his mommy and daddy (again...and again...and again...and again...). I managed to capture him in action:
