Solo Napping Breakthrough

Today, for the first time, Ella fell asleep on her own. This might seem to you like it's not a big deal. But you would be wrong. Normally getting her to sleep usually involves music or white noise, and almost always being held and gently bopped around. Or breastfeeding (which I just plain lack the equipment for). Don't get me wrong--lulling our daughter to sleep can be a lot of fun, but there are lots of times when it would be nice *not* to have to go through this ritual.

So here's to self-initiated napping!
