is this normal or no for a 5.5 month old?

He usually can only stay awake 2 hours and then naps for at least 1 hour. Lately ( the past few day) he can only really stay awake 1-1.5 hours then naps for at least an hour. I feel like this is a lot of sleep time when my Pedi told me that a 5 month old shoul be almost down to 2 naps a day. He has been a little fussier than usual but no fever...do you think this is normal or not? TIA ladies.

Growth spurt, perhaps?
I blame anything abnormal on growth spurts. I would try not to worry unless this continues for more than a week or if he has any other symptoms.
That's pretty much what T does.
Sometimes he'll go longer stretches between naps, but he gets really cranky when he does that. He'll also vary his nap times. Usually the first nap of the day is a long one (sometimes 2 hours) and then each nap after that gets shorter.
