DS had gotten into this habit lately where he will nap for about an hour, sometimes hour and a half, then wake up crying. The crying part isn't unusual--that's how he wakes up from every nap and morning time--but he is clearly still tired. If I let him cry to see if he'll put himself back to sleep, he won't. Just gets more and more worked up. If I go in and rock him he will almost always go back to sleep for up to another hour and a half!! While I love holding him, there are a lot of things I could be doing in that time! He falls asleep on his own typically so I'm not sure what the deal is. If I go in and just try to get him to lay down he gets super mad bc he wants me to hold him. If I try to lay him back down after he falls back to sleep he wakes up. I don't know what to do anymore! Any tips?

I agree with PP who suggest just rolling with it and rocking him back to sleep. Infant and toddler sleep is constantly changing, so you'll probably find that soon enough you've hit a different stage. The great thing about sleep is that if you don't like it, it'll change soon. The awful thing about sleep is that if you like it, it'll change soon.
