Baby monitors are typically used to make sure the little one is safe, but sometimes the cameras capture things that are just downright hilarious.

Valerie Routh Sharp, 61, was lovingly putting her granddaughter down to sleep last Friday when she had a bit of an accident. Sharp's daughter, Nikki Sharp Bishop explains on Facebook that her mother is five feet tall, so actually getting her grandchild into the tall crib can be a little difficult.

In the clip, Sharp uses a stepping stool to make it a little easier for her to reach over the top of the large crib, but gravity gets the best of her and she ends up tumbling face-first into the crib with the little one.

According to the Huffington Post both Sharp and baby were unharmed in the incident, and Sharp has a great attitude about the whole thing.

“So many people have seen my butt in the air,” Sharp told Bishop after the clip started to gain traction on Facebook.
