What I'm saying is yes routine is good but some parents get stuck on such a perfect time table of routine that as soon as things change the child feels like the bottom of the Earth has fallen.
Bedtime doesn't have to change but exposing your child to sleep at grandma's a few times before there 12 months or at Auntie Joan's will help them roll with it.
Changing there room or playroom around a few times a year gives them a new perspective.
Parents IMO that thrive on a set schedule mess there kids up, they know what there supposed to be doing every Wed at 3pm heaven forbid you decide to do something different.
I also believe that it's ok to let your 8-12 months old explore on there own. Of course your watching them but they don't need to see you doing it. Ever notice some people can't be 3 steps away from there kids. How does that build security, it's more like a body guard.
I'm taking about building a security of independence. If that makes sense!
