How long are they up between wake-up and nap 1, nap 1 and nap 2, and nap 2 and bedtime? My LO's awake times are 2.25 hours, 3.5 hours, and 3 hours. Should i try and stretch out her first awake time? She will be 9 months old tomorrow.

This was Olive's schedule at 9-10 months:
8:00am – wake up
10:30am 12:00pm – Nap 1 (2 1/2 hour awake time)
3:00pm 4:00pm – Nap 2 (3 hour awake time)
6:30pm – Bedtime (2 1/2 hour awake time)
She was a little sleepier than average though. But her schedule remained similar until 14 months so it sounds like you have a pretty good schedule right now.

Cobi is 10.5 months. First stretch is 2.5 hours. Second is 2.5-3 hours and the stretch between nap and bedtime is a lot longer- sometimes 5 hours!

Ours is something like this, although the lengths of her naps do vary from 30 minutes to sometimes up to 1.5 hours:
8:00am – wake up
11am 12:00-ishpm – Nap 1 (3 hours awake time)
3:30pm 4:30-ishpm – Nap 2 (3.5 hour awake time)
7:30pm – Bedtime (3 hour awake time)

that sounds good to me, usually the first awake stretch is shorter. A lot of babies do well with a 2-3-4 schedule at this point, so 2 hours from wake up to first nap, 3 hours between naps and then 4 hours awake before bed.

That schedule sounds like what LO was doing until all our traveling and teething messed her up Right now, her schedule looks like this:
8AM: Wake up
11AM - 1PM: Nap #1
** I try to put her down for another nap around 3PM - 3:30PM-ish, but she always fight it, even when her eyes are puffy from sleep. Ideally, she'd nap for at least :30, but this never happens
630PM: Bedtime
There are some awful days when she's up from 1PM - 630PM, with no nap... so grouchy!!

@Mrs. Superhero: huh, ive never heard of that. Makes sense though.
C is generally about 3 hours between naps, give or take 20/30 minutes.

Our waketimes at 9 months were 3, 3.5, 2.75-3 hours.
Is she fighting naps, taking short naps or taking a long time to fall asleep? Or is she having parties in the middle of the night?

@MungBean: I'm guessing that your LO is nowhere near tired enough after 2.5 hrs to take a 2nd nap. Have you tried either limiting the 1st nap to 1.5 hours or putting her down at 4? If my LO takes a 2hr first nap he fights his 2nd like crazy and then takes a really short 2nd nap and wakes up grumpy.

DS is up 2 hours, 45 minutes to 3 hours between every nap and before bedtime.

She had two naps at that age:
Nap #1: 9-10:30am
Nap #2: 1-2:30pm
Then if we were out or something, she would "nap" in the car on the way home for about 30 minutes.
Bedtime was at 6pm.
