What time do you put your baby "down" for the nite?

Around the time my son turned 3 months, I started a bedtime routine: dinner, bath, book, bottle and bedtime. Until he was around a year, his bedtime was 6:30pm and would sleep until 7ish. He's now 20 months, goes to bed around 7:30pm and is up around 7:30am.

He started off as an awful sleeper, and since he was my first, I didn't have prior experience to guide me. But when I started a bedtime routine, it seemed to click with him.

He's still a wonderful sleeper unless he's teething. He slept until 9am today (teething)! His daytime nap is short though, down to one hour.
