Bubby is almost 19 months and he just learned how to climb out of his crib. I think we are in trouble. In the video you can see we put a mattress on the floor so that he wouldn’t hurt himself.
This is partial my fault. Three days ago I came in to get him in the morning and he had his leg just resting on the side rail. So I asked him if he was going to show mommy how he can climb over. He gave it one good try but I could tell he was afraid. So then yesterday morning when I went in to get him, he was half way over but completely freaking out because he didn’t know where to go from there.
Well, last night when we put Bubby to bed Tony and I were convinced it was only a matter of days before he completely figured it out so to be on the safe side we put the mattress next to the crib.
This morning, he was straddling the rail, just kind of sitting there. So I sort of showed him how to put his foot up on the rail and slide down. It took ONE TIME and he did it 3 more times in a row.

I put him down for a nap this afternoon and I felt convinced that he was coming out of his room, he was not happy going down for a nap. But alas, he fell asleep in his crib.
I dozed off and woke up to him fussing in his room. Not but 2 minutes later he flings his door open and strolls out of his room as if a man on a mission! LOL!

So now, I have been searching online for all the child safety products. I mean, we had the outlet covers and gates and cabinet latches but the outlet covers we have don’t work. He pulls them out. They are all missing and he insists on putting plugs in the outlet. I am going to have to get the outlet box covers.

I found a great website online that has all sorts of products. Check out the Child Safety Store if you are going to be in the market for child proofing products.
