Anyone else's sleep schedule changing lately?

We used have a nap somewhere between 8-9 in the morning and 12-1:30ish in the afternoon. Then bed at 6:30.
However, in the last couple weeks, LO has been waking up a ton at night, fighting bedtime etc. etc.
I finally moved her bedtime last week from 6:30 to 7:15ish and now she's back to going to bed easily. She's now up at 6:30 instead of 7 which isn't a big deal to me.
She's also back to sleeping all night or only up once for a bottle. I took her sleep sacks away and gave her a blanket instead (GASP! I know..but I think she's strong enough to get herself out of a blanket if necessary). I think the problem was she just couldn't wiggle or stand up in the sleep sack and she was angry...lol. 
As a result of all of this, we're now back to 3 naps. She's added again her little 15 minute catnap at 5ish. I'm not complaining becuase it gives me a chance to pickup, prep dinner in peace etc. I just think it's weird...I thought they were supposed to be dropping naps at this point!

Re: Anyone else's sleep schedule changing lately?
Ours is. I have adjusted to just follow her cues for bedtime. For naps they are still around the same time though, and she has been up a few times during the night.
Sometimes she just doesn't want to nap..like at all. This happened yesterday, only one 930 am nap and bed time at 730pm. The rest of the day I would lay her down, and she would instantly start crying so I would just pick her up and let her play. If she's happy I'm happy...last night she woke up at 1am drank 4oz, then 5am 4 oz, then at 830 up for the day. It's just about noon and she already had her morning nap. We'll see when 2ish rolls around..crossing my fingers she has a nap
B is all over the place with her naps lately. SHe used to take a total of 3 hours worth of naps, usually a 2 hour nap and a 1 hour nap, varying between am and pm which was which. The last couple of days she has only taken 1 nap. The first day it was a 3 hour nap. Then she had just 1-1 hour nap. Yesterday she had one 2 hour nap. Today so far she has had 1 2.5 hour nap. But she woke up from that at noon, bed time isn't until 7:30! Ahhhh!
