7 month old waking for 2 hours after bedtime

Hi my 7 month old dd has started to transition to 2 naps. All was going fine and some days was three naps and some 2, completely led by how long she slept for the first two naps and when the last ended as she can only manage three hour wake time.

All was fine until yesterday, I put her to bed at 6.30 and at 7 she woke up. I put her dummy back in and left her to resettle like normal but an hour later she was still awake so I felt bad and got her up. We played for an hour and she went to sleep at 9 without a fuss.
She woke at 8 this morning when she’s usually up by 7 at the latest. She had two naps, last one ending at 3 so I put her to bed at 6 and she woke just before 7 and there’s no sign of her being sleepy. What am I doing wrong?

Long and short of it is you're probably doing nothing wrong but either you're putting her down too early, she possibly doesn't need those naps as much as you think or the 8-10 mo sleep regression is kicking in
