Is your little one on 1 or 2 naps? At this age activity time is so varied as some are on 1 nap having 5-6hrs awake time and some are still on 2 naps with 3.5-4hrs awake time.

My Lo is 13 months but here's his EASY depending on what kind of activity he is doing and if he needs 1 or 2 naps.

7:30 wake (sits on toilet for 3 minutes while mom brushes teeth), get ready
8:00 bottle
9:30 breakfast
10:30 usually naps anywhere from 45 min - 1.5 hrs (occasionally he will skip this nap.  If he does then I give him lunch at 11:30 and then he goes down for nap for about 1.5 -2 hours)
12:30 lunch
3:30 nap
5:30 dinner
7:00 get ready for bed
7:30 -8 sleeping

All other times in between is Activity time.  I just make sure he gets at least 2 hours of  nap time whether it's a combination of two naps or just one.  I also make sure his feeding schedule is around the same time.

Hope that didn't confuse you.

Dd2 is nearly 1yo.  Her day generally goes something like this:

6.30am ish wake up, play in cot
7am BF
7.30am ish breakfast
9am ish down for first nap.  Usually sleeps for around 40min, so wakes up around 10am.
snack
11.30am lunch
12.30pm BF
1pm ish down for second nap.
3pm ish wakes up (often before this, like 2.45pm)
snack
5.30pm dinner
6.20pm bath, pj, story
6.45pm BF
7pm bedtime.

I aim for 2.5hrs between wake-up and first nap, then 3hrs between naps.  Then it's usually at least 4hrs before bedtime.  That time is from when she wakes up to when I put her down (not to when she's actually asleep). 

However we often are out and about in the mornings for dd1, which interferes with first nap sometimes.  As it's a short one, I don't usually worry.  As she's getting older, she's handling it better and better anyway (sometimes manages with literally 5 min sleep, then 2nd nap might be slightly earlier and longer).  I wouldn't let her first nap go longer than 10.30am so that her second nap starts no later than 1.30pm.

Hi there,

My ds is in the middle of the 2 to 1 nap transition.  A 2 nap day looks like this

7 - wake
7:30 - breakfast and milk
10 - 10:30 - nap
12 - wake
12:15 - lunch and milk
3:30 - 4:00 - nap
5 - wake
7 - dinner
7:30 - bath, massage, bedtime story
8 - bed

A 1 nap day ( which is almost everyday now) looks like this

7 - wake
7:30 - breakfast and milk
11:30 - 12 - lunch and milk
12:30 - nap
3 - wake
7 - dinner
7:30 - bath, massage, bedtime story
8 - bed

From what you posted his day looks about right and it seems he's also trying to make the transition because his morning nap is varying in lengths.  Santiago can go 5 - 5.5 hours awake now...... ::) makes for a tired momma!
