Lowered the crib

Yesterday I caught you standing up in your crib with your crib bumpers around you. Somehow you moved the bumper so that it was wrapped around you. It scared the crap out of me because this was right after your nap time and I wasn't in your room to see what you had done to yourself. You could have 1) suffocated or 2) fell out of your crib (because the top of the crib comes up to your armpits when you are standing). I didn't think you could stand up on your own, but I guess you learned to use your upper arm strength to pull yourself up in your crib. I wanted to move the crib mattress down (as your crib is adjustable) so that you wouldn't be able to climb over the crib. I moved the crib to the 2nd lowest setting with the help of Aidan as my assistant.

I put you in the crib after I lowered the mattress to see how you would be in the crib standing up.
The crib now comes up to your chin area. I also removed the crib bumper as you're not really
supposed to be using it anyways. Apparently it's a choking hazard. The only reason why I had it
was because I was afraid that you would bump your head on the wooden rails while sleeping.
