Bode is STILL transitioning from two naps to one. He takes two naps a day probably twice a week still and the other 5 days only takes one. The problem is he is ready for a nap by 9am! He will go down around 9ish and stay asleep for 2 or 3 hours and be awake until bedtime. 12pm to 7pm is a bit much for this little guy to handle. I try and try to hold him off until noon for his nap. Noon to 2 or 3 is perfect then he is happy as can be until bedtime. Today I held him off until about 11:30. He was playing, getting tired, playing some more, really getting tired.. I have no pictures but then he melted down. I put him down because I don’t deal with melt downs. He slept for about 2 1/2 hours and went to bed at 6pm. 6!! I feel like that’s crazy early. The boy gets tired and I don’t argue. He’s hasn’t woken up in the night since he was like 8 or 9 months old, so I guess it could be a lot worse. 7pm to 7:30 or 8am is really nice. He will probably wake up tomorrow around 7:30. Maybe we can do something fun with Clint and try to hold him off until 12. He is fine if I go run errands. Maybe he just gets bored and tired with me at home. Oh we got rid of bottles and it’s been a breeze. He was still getting one before bed and some naps, but he doesn’t miss it. They grow up too fast. I feel like now I am just rambling on. What is your babies nap/bedtime schedule?

Hang in there. He'll eventually get into a new nap routine. I'd just keep up with what you're doing and before long he'll be able to make it to noon and bedtime with no problems.
We have the same problem at our house. Darci can only handle being awake for like 2 hours in the morning. She goes down at 10am and sleeps till noon. But there is no way she can make it till bedtime yet. She usually takes another nap around 3pm for like 45min or an hour. Then bedtime at 7pm. I like that schedule and some days it is not like that. Sometimes she won't take the afternoon nap and she goes to bed a 6pm. You do what you got to do for the little ones. They need their sleep that is for sure.
I'm looking through all your blog posts and I've decided that your indoor pictures are just WAYYYY better than mine. You are awesome with indoor lighting!!! (And outdoor too, but that goes without saying...)
Those park pictures are so cute in your previous post, and gunner in the shower!? Tooo funny!
Capri takes a nap from about 10:30-12, and again from 2:30/3-4. Then she goes to bed around 6:30 and wakes up at 6:30am! I want to move her nap time to later in the day so it's only one nap, but she won't have it quite yet. lol
