It's a play on the expression "bouncing baby boy/girl" meaning "vigorous" or "healthy."

Often moms and dads will sit down in a chair, and put their baby (one to three years old) on their knee facing them. The parent then moves one leg quickly up and down. The baby "jumps" up and down too with the leg. Babies love this and usually they start laughing and squealing in delight. If the parent stops, they try to get the parent to do it again and again.

Btw,
match whole phrase
or
match with whole phrase

else?
