What time is bedtime?

For some reason we have settled into a recent pattern of DD2 going to bed super early. Tonight it was 5:30pm, last night it was 6pm. She also seems to be awake for the day super early, today it was 5am! Anyone else's LO in this pattern?

I don't want to keep her up if she is tired since she seems to have her most awake period in the morning and then is asleep for most of the day from 12pm on, just waking up basically to eat and a diaper change, then she is up for about 90 minutes or so before bedtime when I do play, bath and feed. I didn't know any better with DD1 and would end up keeping her up until we went to bed around 10pm, evenings were a nightmare and consisted of her either screaming and us walking the house with her or her taking many mini catnaps in arms, basically exhausting herself from all the crying.

It is bad enough that DD1 already goes to bed early at 6:30pm and is up for the day at 6am. I really would like to sleep till 7am again someday....
