David has been sleeping through the night (~9hrs) for almost a week now. He did not just start sleeping 9hrs on his own. We followed Babywise's tip for pushing a baby out. It took 7 nights (took only 3 nights with Alex) of some crying, wimpering, and pacying before he didn't wake anymore. Thanks to the book Babywise for helping us get David on a healthy schedule and for all the great helps! the bumbo... I would have never thought to try David in it so early, but my friend Becky did with her daughter at his age, so we tried it. David liked it. 
Since all employees and their families of AR Children's Hospital could go to Wild River Country waterpark for free this weekend, we went considering the normal cost is $15+ per person depending on what time of day you go. It was ok, but definitely not as toddler friendly as Splash Zone! btw... we did not leave David in the sun long. He did not like the bright hot sun, nor the cold water. So, he hung out with Chris most of the time in the shade. Chris was on call so he didn't get in the water. :(
Part of our free trip to the waterpark included free Corky's dinner. Before Chris joined us with Alex's hotdog, I was letting Alex nibble on my food. Eventually, she said, "I want that (referring to my bbq pulled pork sandwich). Let me hold it by myself." I gave it to her and she ate the entire thing, then her hotdog! That girl had played hard. I would have gotten her a sandwich but thought it would be a waste. I was wrong.
