Baby induced exercise

I mentioned before that we have a little wireless camera in the baby’s room pointing at Pia’s bed. Every 20 secs it will take a snapshot and store it on my web server. From there we can distribute the images to a number of locations in the house (the TiVo in the bedroom and the Media Center PC in the Living Room). While Pia is sleeping we often have the Media Center PC play an endless loop of latest pictures, which means we see Pia on the TV set and the scenery changes every 20 secs.
Last night around 6pm we also had the TV showing us the sleeping baby. At one point when I glanced at the screen, I saw this:

What you see is little pea just after she woke up. She pulled herself up on the side of the crib and is standing on her mattrass holding on to the rail. At this point, more than half of her body are above the rail, which means that if she leans forward she’ll get over the rail and fall about 4-5 feet onto the carpet.

Well, when I saw this on the screen I dashed from the living room to the nursery in no time and found out that little baby had fallen backwards into the crib. Candice was laughing, because she had never seen me running so fast.

Ten minutes later I was working on lowering the mattrass in the crib …

    YIKES! It’s a good thing you saw her in time! I don’t want to say, “I told you so” when I suggested to Candice that she lower the mattress a few wks ago! That little Pea is going places! She’ll be walking before you know it! Way to go, POOKY! Keep your Momma and Pappa on their toes! Good job, Tobs! love Gramma
