Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I'm going to tell a story...

This morning, as all mornings, my DH gets up for work at 5:45 am.. and I usually wake up... I'm a SAHM, so I don't have to get up.. anyway, I always click the video monitor....and just peek at Dylan..

He wasn't there. I thought. I have never not seen him on the screen. I freak. I run to DH, sling  the door open and say "he's not there"... We both freak -- run to his room..and.. there he is.. snuggled up in the corner... butt in the air.. sound asleep.

I have known for a long time that my son is a scooter... he scoots all over... what I didn't know was that there was a blind spot on my video at the very bottom of the camera. (I am not sure why I didn't know this.. When I look now, I can totally see where it's cut out-- just never occured to me.)

It sounds stupid. How could my 6 month old get out of his crib? Wouldn't he cry, if the worst, someone took him? Wouldn't I hear movement.. since I am a light sleeper? I know. I know. At the moment, I didn't think clearly.. just panicked. My heart has never hit the floor as drastically as it did this morning.

All is well now.

I'm not sure the point in my story telling. haha.. Maybe just a post since NOBODY is on tonight............

The End.

  • I've freaked out before over this as well.  DD can scoot out of range but now I know why I cant see her.  It freaked me the F out the first time too.

  • I hear you, I would definitely be freaking out if I didn't see DS where he was supposed to be!

  • I would have freaked out too! I am the least worry-wart you will find, but I have these weird fantasies centering around someone coming in her nursery window. It is a short window high above ground but I am obsessed. Whenever I hear a weird noise coming from her monitor my mind immediately flashes to "an intruder is stealing her from her crib!" 
  • I swear this is (one of) the reasons I didn't get a video monitor. How scary!

  • Scary feeling.  It's funny how we're convinced our babies are little acrobats that can just fly out of their cribs at any time.
