Jake is NOT superman

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Jake jumping off the kitchen table!
This past week, Jake climbed up on the kitchen table and started jumping on it. I quickly shouted no and went to go get him off the table. As I approached him, he turned and JUMPED off the table! Luckily his head hit the wall instead of our tile floors or the window sill. He had a pretty good goose-egg on his head, but it could have been a lot worse.
The fall hasn't curbed his jumping or climbing though. Now he just gets up on stuff, points to the ground and says "fall".
I keep trying to look to the future and figure out how his inquisitive, fearless, persistent personality will serve him in the future. Maybe he'll be a stunt guy, or maybe he'll figure out how to defy gravity (do we have a little Isaac Newton on our hands?). Who knows.
