Kate has had two major milestones this week. First, she rolled over on her own, from tummy to back, into a toy and bopping her head quite hard. Poor thing. The milestone I'm most excited about, though, is that she put herself to sleep tonight.

Now granted, she was exhausted. The phone rang after she had been asleep only an hour, and it work her up for two hours. She couldn't get back to sleep and wanted to play. We played and played and I got tired. It was 10 pm and she still hadn't fallen asleep again. My plan was to take my contacts out and then snuggle her to sleep, a proven effective treatment for her.
