Incredible video shows baby escaping over stair gates twice his height in seconds to escape his bedroom
The enterprising infant was able to scale the barrier just ten minutes after his mum had erected them
A SURPRISINGLY strong baby caused a stir online after a clip of him clambering over two stair gates was shared online.
The cheeky little chappy manage to climb over the devices designed to keep him inside his bedroom.
The enterprising infant was able to scale the gates, which were more than twice his height, just ten minutes after his mum had erected the barrier.
21-month-old Leo Westlake from Falmouth was filmed by his mum, Alice Grey, completing the impressive feat.
The tot had managed to clamber over one gate before so 23-year-old Alice added another gate to try and keep her intrepid son at bay.
She told Cornwall Live: "He's been doing that since he could walk at nine months.
"He's been quite full on and a bit of a handful. We don't have a minute's peace until he goes to bed.
"That double stair gate hadn't even been up 10 minutes, I thought he would be too scared.
"But he wasn't, he just did it. He's never fallen off anything. All he does is climb. Even at four months old he could lift stuff. He's really strong. I've given birth to a super baby.
"It's such a mission to keep him in his room. He just doesn't like going to bed. He's a little escapist. We're going to have a little Houdini on our hands."
The mum of two added that he frequently tries to copy his seven-year-old sister Olivia, who is also energetic.
Proud mum Alice added: "He's such a character. He's the funniest baby I've ever met. He can say anything. He loves it."
