Hi Stacy, Not sure what this means, can you elaborate:
Since your lo is older I would aim for more like 55 mins to do the walking, an hour or so to be changing diaper, swaddle etc and be starting shush pat in your neck hour and 5-10 mins tops.

For my routine, which is not good since I can't get him for naps and he is awake most of the day.
Awake at 5:30am ( I know this is super early, but I can't get him to stay awake at night past 7pm)
E - 5:30
A - 5:45-6:30 (playing in crib)
S - 6:30 try to get him to sleep usually doesn't happen (he fusses) so awake again until he shows sleepy signs
Y - this barely never comes
As you can see i have no pattern to my day except he does do to sleep for the night at 7:00pm. I do E "every" 3 hrs. and then A right after and always try the S as soon as he shows sleepy signs. I have no pattern yet because i can't get my DS down for naps and I revert back to A because he seems so awake. I try and try and try all day!!
Someone gave me the suggestion to try and put him back to sleep 10-15 minutes after E (before sleepy signs). I am going to try this tomorrow. Wish me luck
I really hope I get some pattern soon even if the S is 45 minutes I will be happy!!!
