1 short nap a day?

My daughter will be 12 months on the 16th and for the past month has been so fussy and will only take one 30-40 min. nap a day and it's exhausting! She fights another nap and ends up being cranky. She has never been the best napper or sleeper (just started sleeping throught the night consistantly at 10 months) but she would usually take 2 naps a day ranging from 30 min.-1.5 hrs each nap. She's never consistent. But I was wondering if anyone else noticed a change in their napping around this time? She sleeps through the night usually, about 10-11 hrs straight. And this new nap schedule is very tiring and has me confused if this is normal or if I should try something out. What is everyone else's napping like?

I've tried pushing back and waiting till noonish but she gets fussy and tired and rubs her eyes. I see all her tired cues so I put her down around 10 and then she starts showing those tired cues again about 3 hours later but won't go down for a nap. The only way I can get her to take a second nap is to ride her around in the car.
