This morning, I awoke to Grace stirring. I clicked the view on the monitor to see what she was up to.
We have one of those monitors with a camera that lets you see your precious little bundle of joy on a handheld device. I got it from the company that I worked for previously. One of the few benefits from the time I was there. But I digress.
Being VERY early in the morning, the monitor was still in nighttime vision mode - everything is in black, white and grey. I saw a white blur. I moved the directional buttons to try to find her in the crib. I begin panicking. Then, suddenly, I saw movement. The white blur began to move further away and take form. I had been looking at Grace's cheek.
She was standing right up against the camera.
As she continued to move her head around, I saw an eye. She continued backing up until I could see her whole beautiful face.
Then, I saw a hand approach slowly, with hesitation, until it was all I could see.
She had grabbed the camera.
I began to hear all kinds of noises as she discovered that she could move the camera. My view on the monitor screen began to spin wildly - Blair Witch style.
This continued for a while, until it occurred to me that she is now completely capable of breaking things. Including cameras that I really don't want to have to replace.
I went into her room to find one very happy baby with a tight grip on the camera. And a heart-melting smile.

Oh sweet Grace! What a wonderful way to wake up, though...the things we missed in the pre-electronic age...
I'll have to install one of those for the times that my yet-to-be-born grandbabies come for an overnight.

Aw...that beautiful wee gal and the Blair Witch Camera; one day you'll wake up, check the monitor and see your own face staring back at you...now THAT is a Blair Witch moment, especially when creepy wee child is silently standing over you, videotaping. True story. *shiver*

Hehe, just wait until she works out what it is ;)
Awwwww and the fun begins! She sounds like a very happy baby and a very adorable one too.
Thank you for your comment on my blog today. It really made me feel great being there at the nursing home and you reminded me that some people need someone there just to listen and to show they care.
The Age of Discovery -- she's in for lots of treats, and she'll educate you along the way. Enjoyed the visit!
