could this be messing up morning nap times?

DD wakes up anywhere from 6-8 in the morning.  Usually she is up for 2 hours before she goes down for a nap, but in the morning she usually starts to get really sleepy after being up for 1.5 hours or so.  I read some of Ferber's book and he said something about waking time varying and that affecting naps.  Like if she woke up yesterday at 7:30 and today at 6:30, she might still feel like she should be sleeping in the morning and start to get sleepy earlier.  I don't know if that made any sense lol!  But could this mean that she needs a more solid waking time and is getting her body confused about when she should be sleeping in the mornings?

    DS wakes between the same times as your DD and he usually can go about 1 hr 45 mins or so between wake up and 1st nap. ?Between the other naps, he usually goes around 2 hrs (maybe a tad bit more) and then about 2.5 -3 hrs before bed. ?This is pretty consistent whether he wakes up at 6:30, 7:00 or even 7:30. ?Not sure if this helped at all, but I hope so. ?:)

    I used to wake dd at about 7:15 every morning to help her get a little routine going (she went to bed around 7pm). Now I just let her wake up whenever but it's naturally within the 12-12.5 range from when she went to bed. We don't have set nap times, i.e. from 9-11am, etc. Instead I go off her cues and she's usually down for a nap between 1 hr to 1 hr 15 mins from her wake time.
