Nap troubles again

Erin thinks now that she doesn't need to take a morning nap...which is fine, except she will only sleep for 30 minutes in the afternoon! We try morning naps without any luck, and I don't really know why she is waking up so soon in the afternoon. The sleep book says to start putting her to bed earlier at night if this happens, which we did last night and worked great - we started her bath at 6:30 and she slept from 7:15-6:30! Tonight, I had her in the crib around 7:00, but she just now fell asleep at 7:30. I don't think going any earlier than that is going to help, since she isn't ready to go to sleep any earlier.

So, if anyone has any ideas of how to make the naps better, please let us know! She is super grumpy all afternoon because she's tired, but then gets a second wind around 5:00, which lasts through bath time. Does this look like a girl who is ready to go to bed?
