Instead of hitting you over the head with raw data, I'm going to present it on a month by month basis. This first look will cover the first partial month of data. This data would probably be most useful to someone with a 6 month old that is sleeping through the night. Future sets will cover an entire month.
From August 7th - August 18th, this represents roughly the last 3rd of Sofie's 7th month. Times listed are medians. Times in parentheses are the data range.
Waketime 6:20 (5:40-7:15)
Milk 1 6:25 (6:00-7:20)
Breakfast 7:45 (6:45-8:30)
Nap 1 8:40 (8:00-9:45)
Nap 1 Duration 90 mins (35-120 mins)
2nd Breakfast 10:45 (10:30-11:25)
Milk 2 11:40 (11:15-11:45)
Lunch 2:00
Nap 2 2:45 (1:20-3:05)
Nap 2 Duration 80 mins (35-95 mins)
Milk 3 4:10 (3:40-5:00)
Dinner 6:15 (5:45-6:35)
Milk 4 7:15 (7:00-7:40)
Sleep 7:45 (7:35-8:05)
Notes:
- Our longest period of wakefulness was between nap 1 and nap 2. That's usually when we'd go out for walks or run errands.
- She would occassionally fall asleep on the walk, but only for 5-10 minutes.
- Once during this period she took her 2nd nap before lunch because her 1st nap that day ended particularly early.
For anyone that read this far, please leave feedback or questions as a comment. I'd like to know if the format is easily understood.

Yay! I love the blog so far! I'm intrigued...
A couple of things (the first coming from a teacher), there is a typo in your profile section on the right hand side (is was). I'm a little confused on the schedule, I understand the median and range but I think it might be more helpful to see the average times Sofie ate/slept/woke or maybe give one sample day. It would also be interesting to see amounts/types of food she ate.
Your fan,

Thanks for the comments! This is exactly the sort of feedback I need.
I decided to go with median over average for two reasons. First, it's more difficult to calculate averages for time than to grab the median from the list of data. And second, in most cases the median and mean were the same. That said, I'll try to fix the formatting to make it more readable.
Thanks for the ideas about more detail I could add. Also, thanks for proofreading my writing :D
And thanks for your support!
