sleeping well

Dylan,

Thanks for being a good sleeper. It makes all the difference in the world!

Things got sketchy there for a bit, between four and six months or thereabouts, but you've settled back in nicely. I put you down for bed at about 8:35 every night (I think the back to back episodes of That 70's Show have something to do with the consistent timing) and you settle down in just minutes. You're getting very good at putting yourself to sleep, too. I usually just try to calm you down, then put you in your crib (with the roll-stabilizer still) and tell you to "put yourself to sleep", and you do.

We often hear you thumping your feet on the mattress around 11 or 11:30, but you go back to sleep on your own. Then we hear you again in the morning somewhere between 6:30 and 8:30, sometimes talking to yourself but always rolled onto your tummy, and you always have a smile for whoever eventually goes in to change your diaper and let some light into your room to signal the new day.
