bounding
Moving in jumps
Bounding describes energetic leaping movement—springing forward with vigor and enthusiasm.
A dog comes bounding across the yard; a child bounds down the stairs.
The word suggests joyful, unrestrained motion.
Separately, bounding can mean forming or marking a boundary: the river bounding the property to the north.
