Better tonight?

Tonight is night #3 of letting Delanah fuss it out. We started at 8:50pm and it is now 9:28pm. She has fallen asleep twice and woken herself up twice. Actually, she's been quiet for a few minutes now, so maybe this is it! She had a great day today and should be plenty tired!
This morning she was up, bright eyed and bushy tailed, at 5:40am :) eeek! She had some cuddle time with g-pa and g-ma and was asleep in her swing by 7:15 :) I decided to try for a little nap myself (Delanah is a loud sleeper! She is in a pack and play in the room I am sleeping in while we're down here and I don't think I got more than a few hours of sleep last night), but just as I was drifting off she woke up! Figures! Yes, I have already gotten the "talks" today from well meaning, experienced moms on how I should let her entertain herself and I should have slept. Oh well, she was so happy I just had to get up and play with her! She was hungry anyway :) She had another good nap on g-pa while I was getting some "me" time :) It was such a beautiful day today that we went into the backyard with the dogs and then decided to take a little walk to the park.
Delanah had her first ride in the "big girl" part of the stroller! No car seat needed! She started off in her baseball hat and sunnies, but was quite unhappy so we switched to just the sunhat and ditched the sunnies. I went to swings in the park and sat Delanah on my lap and we did a gentle sway for some time. She watched people for awhile and then we saw g-pa drive by and decided to head back. We had enough time to have a feed and a change and then took off with Bailey for our walk to meet mom at her school. I was expecting it to be a lot longer, but we made good time and Bay did so well!
Tonight I took a little cat nap on the couch and Delanah was propped in a recliner with heaps of toys and g-ma and g-pa to entertain her. She had a great time! She played for almost an hour and then needed a change and a feed and then it was off to bed.
Okay, it's now 9:43pm and I haven't heard a peep...do we have success? Can I go to bed?!
