why is he waking up 2-3 hours earlier in the moring and how do i fix it?

my ds (13 months) used to sleep from 10:15pm until 8:45-9:30am every morning.

for the last week he's been waking up at 7:30 am and only getting 9 hours of sleep. he's been soooo tired.

i've tried:

i tried putting him to bed 1 hour early (9pm) but he woke up at 6am today!

i've tried reducing him naps (he still takes 2 2 hour naps a day.)

i've tried leaving him in his crib till 9am.

i've tried rocking him.

i've tried giving him a drink.

what's going on and how do i fix it so he gets at least 10 hours?

How much is he eating before he's going down at night? I find that if DD doesn't eat a lot, she wakes up earlier.

he eats the same each night and gets 8 oz. before bed.

Is it dark in there, or is the light and the birds waking him...
