Is this much sleep normal?

I haven't posted in months, but have a question and wanted your input.

My DD is 15 months.  She takes one afternoon nap a day (about 2 hours long).  By 7 pm she is exhausted so we lay her down for bedtime.  She doesn't wake up until 9 am!  Is this normal?  I thought it would only last for a while because she was growing, but it has gone on for a long time.

I'm thankful that my DD is such a good sleeper...but is there such a thing as too much sleep?

Nope.  Eli went down to one afternoon nap at around 9 months and he follows a similar sleep schedule, just time-adjusted.  He goes to bed at 9pm and will sleep until 10-11am!  He takes one afternoon nap at around 2pm for 2 hours, sometimes a little more or less. 

I would kill to be able to sleep in that late with him.....unfortunately, my three year old Sam is up with the roosters.  LOL.

My DD sleeps about that much (she gets up between about 10am) and has for a long time, she's perfectly happy and healthy and the best part is, so is MOMMY

I am so jealous!  DD is down to 1 nap per day & I can't get her to nap more than thirty minutes.  She goes to sleep at 8 & wakes up at 7:30 am.  I can't get anything done during her nap & it drive me a bit crazy sometimes.

Thanks, ladies!  Glad to know this is normal.  I didn't mean to make anyone jealous...I'll probably get payback with baby #2!

I have to wake Tegan up weekday mornings (at 6:30), but on the weekends she'll go down around 7 PM and wake up between 8-9 AM. She also takes one, 3 hour nap, from 11-2

Not in this house it isn't. I am lucky if I get a 1.5hr nap out of DS who still doesn't STTN and maybe gets 9-10 hours of sleep a night (very interrupted).

I think it sounds fine.  DD was sleeping 12 hours at night, plus 3 hours of naps up until about a month ago.  Now she's down to more like 13.5-14 hours total a day, but I think your DD is just fine!  Enjoy sleeping in!
