Fingers crossed and knock on wood

Max has slept from 10 pm to 7 am the past two nights.   He has slept through the night (meaning I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed him) probably 3 times total before this and never 2 nights in a row.  So I have my fingers crossed that this is a pattern that will continue.  Have we finally figured out the trick to getting him to sleep through the night?  I hope so!  (KNOCK ON WOOD)

Here's him sleeping this morning after his 7 am meal - he sleeps so soundly that I still often check to make sure he's breathing.

UPDATE 11/24/11 -
Well, he hasn't been sleeping completely through the night.  What we've been getting since I have gone back to work is usually 6 hours of sleep, then he wakes up to eat, and then another 3 hours of sleep after that.  I can deal with it this way.  Especially since after the feeding, I just swaddle him back up and let him sleep in our bed.  I don't have the energy or alertness to stand up and soothe him back to sleep and then lay him down in the pack-n-play.  And if I just leave him in our bed, he usually falls right asleep, no problem.
