Can anything else be tweaked?

I've been here many times over the past several months looking for advice on my dd's naps.  They have finally improved.  Yay!  Just wondering if anything else can be tweaked.  She is 9.5 months old and her day looks something like this:

A 7:00
E 7:15 bottle
A
E 8:30 breakfast (she's on mostly table foods as she started refusing purees)
A
S 10:00-11:20
A
E 11:30 bottle
A
E 12:45/1:00 lunch
A
S 2:30-3:15
A
E 3:30 bottle
A
E 5:45 dinner
A (bath & bedtime routine)
E 6:45 bottle
A
S 7:00

Her times vary day to day based on what time she wakes in the morning, but this is a fairly typical day.  She sttn every night.  Anything I can do differently?  Thanks!

Is there any particular reason you think things might need to be tweaked. It looks to me as if her A times are good and she is taking two pretty good length naps a day, waking late enough and STTN. So it looks great to me!

Thanks!  No, no particular reason.  That second nap is still a little short, but she stays pretty happy throughout the day so I assume it's just all she needs?  Just wanted to get extra feedback and make sure things looked appropriate for her age.

If you want to try to extend her nap you could slowly increase A times....since as she gets older they will increase anyway. So if you add 10/15 minutes to your A time after the first nap you might get a little bit longer pm nap. But as I said, if she sleeps through the night and wakes close to 7 she is probably getting what she needs. If she was OT I suspect she wouldn't sleep well through the night or she would EW. You know what I mean?
