sleep regression is REAL

We were spoiled with a baby who never fussed for naps or bedtime for the first 7 months... once my daughter turned 8 months old things went a little cray. 😩
Her scheduled one hour naps all of a sudden disappeared. She fought her naps & ended up sleeping 30 min instead of a full hour. Sometimes she'd even skip a naptime & fuss through the next one before falling asleep.
Don't even get me started with bedtime. 
I love being a mommy!  I do, but this... this is a real test of patience. At night my baby would usually fall asleep after a good nursing & then if gently lay her down for bed. She'd sleep anywhere from 4-6 hours & wake for a feeding. I'd nurse her for about 10-15 min & she'd sleep until she got 10-11 hours of sleep. But this past week she wouldn't go down after her last feeding of the night. She'd want to play, talk, roll around, crawl, stand in her crib. Basically anything else but sleep. Last night was THE WORST she slept at 10:30 (thought it was a #momwin). She woke up at 1:00,3:00 & didn't fall asleep until we went for a drive around the block at 5:30. She slept for half an hour then woke up at 6:00. Watched Barney & fell asleep at 7:00. She finally woke at 11:30. 
Just now she went down at 11:20. Here's hoping she sleeps better tonight. 
(Sorry this was long & more of a story time... I'll let ya'll know how it goes. just look for part 2)
