The Catnapper Chronicles

At almost nine weeks old, Princess Granados is beginning to get into the habit of sleeping through the night.  She'll go anywhere from five to seven!!! (I guess on those nights she really loves me) hours at a time.  However, this is beginning to have a detrimental effect on her sleeping during the day: Instead of taking her regular, two hour plus naps during the day, she has begun to take catnaps.  These range from ten to thirty minutes, but no longer.  It's a miracle that I have been able to fit in a shower every day.  Not saying my hair has been washed as often as necessary (transparency for you)... but give me some credit for at least showering, please.  
Success! 
Ten minutes later.  See how her hands and feet are blurred?  That's what we call "crazy legs" and is the sign of impending wailing. 

After some skillful rocking, cuddling, etc.  I dared to get my hopes up, but then...
Fifteen minutes later.  She wins. 
This has been the pattern for about a week now.  For the sake of my now third-day hair, I need to get her to take longer naps.  Tips?  Tricks?  Help a girl (and her hair) out.
