Sleep - for the record

I am scared to write this because I don't want to jynx myself, but Meg is a great sleeper.  She's great all around -- truly she is perfect.   She knows it's bedtime when she gets her bath followed by her swaddle, some milk, and a story.  Then its a few sways on my shoulder and I put her down in her crib while she's awake.  I usually start around 7:30 and the whole process takes 15 minutes.  Most nights she looks around quietly for a while and eventually falls asleep.  Some nights here and there she'll cry and the soothie always does the trick to calm her to sleep. 

She's down until about 3-4am when she wakes to eat.  I feed her and she goes back down until 6-7am.  If it's much before 7 I'll change her and feed her and put her down again.  She might only give me another hour or so, but who could possibly complain??

I am brazenly predicting that she will officially sleep through the night well before the 7 months it took Pip and Viv.

Other major accomplishments:  she holds her head up wonderfully, LOVES to smile and coo, and pushes up on her legs whenever you hold her torso so she can stand.  Go Weezy!
