Thank you so much for your reply. I would appreciate any feedback or help! I just feel like i am wondering around in the dark with all this. Below is our EASY from today so far. I will update later with how the remainder goes.
Yesterday was a tough day with naps and bedtime. He was asleep at 8:00 but woke after 30 minutes and then did not settle for the night til around 9:45. He woke to eat at 1:30 and 5:15 and then went immediately back to sleep. I woke him up at 7:30 this morning, however he almost immediately started yawning and was not very interested in eating at all. He seemed so tired I regretted waking him in the first place. Perhaps since we were dealing with some accumulated OT I should have let him sleep and wake up on his own?
Wake 7:30, yawning (should I have put him immediately back down?)
E 7:39, wouldn't eat much
S drowsy in bed 8:25, asleep by 8:30 awake at 9:00, resettled to sleep in Ergo
E 10:20

S asleep 11:15, 11:49 awake, left him for 10 minutes not crying a little fussing, yawned as soon as I went in.
A bath, yawned at 12:15
S could not get him to settle or sleep in bed, after 45 minutes resorted to sleep in ergo
E 1:38
A
S did not fuss at all during wind down, asleep 2:13, grunting 2:30 awake (gas I think), 2:34 asleep, 3:05 awake and quiet fussing, 3:25 crying,
E 3:37
A where we are currently
Obviously, I have been trying to err on the side of short activity times as I have read that at this age most problems are caused by OT and I think we were starting with a sleep deficit and the thirty minute wake times were making me think OT. I am thoroughly confused though as shortening them didn't really appear to help. I am still not seeing much in the way of sleep cues even though i am diligently watching.
