Looks good to me :)
You're moving toward 10-12 hour nights, which is good, something you'll want to stick with for a long time to come. If you're having night wakings for feedings, that's normal for this age. You may have up to 2 a night.
If you like you can move bedtime back to 6-6:30, if it fits into the household schedule. It might help with the overtired phase of the evening.
But frankly, it looks like you're doing great!!

Sonia thanks for the adivice. I was very tempted to move her bedtime back to 8pm. I think that will mean too many naps in the day though, so I may put her bedtime back to 6.30 6.45pm depeding on my almost 3 year old
