I was worried, since it has been so long since I had a new kid, AND since all of my kids have started as babies. But, this one's a keeper 
I'm very happy for you. Easy children make our jobs SO much easier.
Please take this imaginary umbrella, as I'm afraid to rain on your parade.
However, I feel I need to give you a word of caution.... She may be on good behavior since she is new. Once she is much more comfortable she may come out of her shell, forget her listening ears at home, decide she's not tired...
