Sleeping Success!

Andrew is in Colorado for a guy trip this weekend. He is the one who usually gives Katherine her bath and puts her to sleep. I decided since her routine would already be different that I would try letting her fall asleep on her own in her crib. We've been rocking Katherine to sleep up to this point. Last night, she screamed and escalated to the point of hysteria, so I went in, laid her down and rubbed her head until she calmed down and fell asleep (in her crib). I was pleased with that for the first night and expected the same to happen tonight.

I put Katherine in her crib, turned on her mobile, and kissed her good night. As I turned to leave the room, she began to cry and continued for a few minutes. I did some things around the house and noticed her cries getting quieter. After about 15 minutes, I peeked in her room, and this is what I saw...
Katherine was sound asleep! I even managed to get her on her back without waking her up. I hope tomorrow night goes as well!
