Go to sleep!!!!!

Is there such a thing as an 8 and 1/2 wakeful period???  DS has been napping like a champ for the last 2 months (wake at 7, nap 9-10:30, 12:30 to 1:30, and then 4 to 4:30/5 ish, bed at 7:30), he sometimes gets up once in the motn, but sometimes will sttn.  Well the last 3 days he has hardly napped at all!  He's so tired but as soon as his head hits the sheets, he's up screaming to get out of his crib.  I left him home with DH yesterday to run some errands and DH said that he didn't take his normal nap, was up almost the whole time until he got so tired he literally collapsed in DHs arms and was out cold.  Anyone else dealing with this?

We went through this last week. He just cut his first tooth he other day so I think that was playing a big role in it.

Could it be that he is ready for a slightly longer awake time b/n naps and possibly consolidating 3 naps into 2?

Well hopefully it's a tooth; we're still in the toothless club!  We pretty much follow his lead, so if he's acting tired, we do naptime.  He (luckily) has been a very regimented baby for the last few months!  But when he's been acting tired the last few days, we do our usual, but he decides he doesn't want to sleep.  Today was a little better though....sigh.
