Sam is usually up for about 2 hours between sleeps during the day, he is quite chirper in the mornings but gets pretty tired in the afternoons. After his afternoon sleep he is full of beans again and will be up for 3 hours + before bed time. I stretch his bedtime routine out quite long, like bottle, play for half an hour, eat solids, play for half an hour, have a bath, play for 10 minutes or so, then we go into his bedroom with the light off but the door ajar so some light comes in and he has his last bottle, a cuddle and a bit of a chat with me then he 'usually' will nod off to sleep straight away, although sometimes it will get to 11pm and he is still staring wide-eyed at me and laughing..
