As soon as Ruby hit 12 months, her daytime sleeping habits changed (not at night alas, that's still rough-going most of the time).

She falls asleep a lot easier now--she'll just fall asleep in the stroller without a peep or it only takes a few minutes in the rocking chair at home. And she's staying asleep longer too; sometimes even an hour and a half at a time. I know, there are kids out there who will go down for 2-3 hour naps, but compared to her 40min naps, it's a great improvement!

(Edited--today she slept for 2 and a half hours in one stretch.)
