1) Like many men, I have very little genuine authority in the decision-making process. However, after a week of absolutely miserable sleep for my wife, myself, and newborn daughter #1, I declared she was going to the crib in her room down the hall. My wife freaked out but was too exhausted to put up much of a fight. Lucky for me, I turned out to be absolutely right.
2) We took the same newborn daughter on the plane from DC to Seattle and back at 6 months. We paid for her own seat and took the non-stop. We did the same with my second daughter when she was 11 months. Both went just fine. One of the carry-ons was a big bag-o-toys-n-books which had enough to keep them happy for the duration of the flight.
