WHY WHY WHY.....

has DS only been taking a 1 hour nap the past week opposed to his normal 2- 2.5 hours. Oh and he is not falling asleep til 9pm almost (even though we are putting him down at 8 like normal) and he is still waking at the same time in the am. WTH? Any ideas?

He's probably getting some new teeth or molars!  My son can NOT sleep and lives in pure, hellish exhaustion when he gets teeth.  The worst was 5 weeks of living hell..... so awful I questioned whether I could be a SAHM.  He got 4 teeth in 5 weeks and then returned to his normal, sweet self.

no help from me, i just wanted to say that my DS did the same thing for a bit.  I always wanted to say that your DS is just to cute!

I agree that it could be teeth.  Does he have his molars?  Emelia had awful sleep habits when she got her molars, but she wasn't cranky any other times like with her other teething.  Maybe try giving Motrin before bedtime and see if that helps.

Jackson did the same thing right at 22 months and I think it was b.c of molars.  I understand your frustration!
