Schedules these days?

So after 8 months of me getting up every night to replace a pacifier at least once, sometimes 3 times...my little guy finally started sleeping through the night again!! We’re going on over a week now and, and the risk of jinxing it, it seems like it’s a new skill that only teething will stop interrupt!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

But...he went from doing 7-7 overnight to doing 8-6:30 or 8:30-7. He suddenly is producing dirty diapers around 8 after I’ve already put him down and sometimes as early at 6am. Usually his last poop is before bathtime about an hour before bedtime and his first one has been at 7 for months. Wondering if I need to change his feeding schedule to try to keep him sleeping longer overnight. Although I’ll happy take these hours if it means I can stay in bed all night!!! 😆

Also, he’ll take his morning nap just like normal from 9:30-11 but seems to want to skip the afternoon nap. Instead of going down at 1:30, he keeps on going till closer to 3. Hell play and play. I’ve been rocking him to sleep after over an hour of crib play because I think he still needs sleep. ...maybe he doesn’t?
