Daughter Has Changed Her Sleep Schedule!

Hi everyone: my daughter used to have a pretty set schedule when it came to sleep. She would go down about 8:30pm, wake up at 9:30am (yes, I have been told I am lucky), go down for a nap about 11 and sleep til about 1:30 or 2pm. Then another nap about 3 for a couple hours.

Now, I'm lucky to get that at all. Is it normal for 4.5 month old babies to have such an unhealthy sleep pattern? ...
