Yay! She put herself to sleep last night!!

I've been trying to lay LO (2 months old) down while she's awake to see if she could put herself to sleep instead of me rocking her and holding her until she fell asleep. Usually when I lay her down awake she starts crying after a few minutes b/c she couldn't put herself to sleep and wanted me to hold her and rock her to sleep (which I really love rocking her but still want her to be able to fall asleep on her own).

Well, last night, DH put her down (unswaddled) and she fell asleep by herself! Then she got woken up so I swaddled her and laid her back down and she fell asleep again! THEN, after our 2:00am feeding I laid her down awake again and she fell asleep again!!! I didn't even have to lay my hand on her chest! I sure hope this phase lasts.
