We have an escapee...

Her name is Kiersten Gabriella Bushbaker, she is almost 15mths old and she belongs to us! Sunday morning around 8:30 a.m. Peter was upstairs playing in Kiersten's room. Her room is across from ours just a few steps away and we don't close the gate at the top of the stairs so we don't lock Peter out since he sleeps downstairs.
Pete & I had been up late because we lost power for 2 1/2-3hrs until 11pm last night, so we were up, just drowsy and laying in bed. We could hear the kids playing, Kiersten stays in her crib until we come get here.
Suddenly, a thump we didn't take seriously b/c Peter had been jumping all morning. Then a second thump and then silence for about 15secs. Then we heard Peter, "No Kiersten, you can't go there!" Pete jumps out of bed & catches Kiersten right before she starts down the stairs! She is pretty good at the stairs, but one of is ALWAYS with her to spot her! Whew, close call and we moved her crib settings tonight so her mattress is at the lowest possible! No injuries since (she didn't cry) we believe Peter ended up spotting her as she made her way over her crib and down her changing table. Luckily, we also had a blanket that had fallen on the floor where she came down.
