I found 4-5 of these bugs high on the wall and on the ceiling close to our daughter's crib.
Any idea what it is?

Thanks!

This appears to be a larva of a carpet beetle (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) in the genus Anthrenus - see http://tinyurl.com/ox6k2d for an example. They will feed on a wide variety of organic materials, including woolen and silk fabrics, fur, feathers, taxidermy mounts, and dry stored food products.
