getting 6 month old to sleep later - and sharing a room w/ toddler

My 2 little ones share a room. DS is 22 months and has been sleeping great. DD is 6 months and was sleeping great from early on. We had a period of middle of the night wake-ups which seem to have gotten better, but now she wakes as early as 5:30. I like to be ready myself when she wakes up. Normally, she goes to sleep from 7:30-8:30, but even putting her down at 9:30 last night, she still woke at 5:45. This is killing me because I think I have to wake up at 4:30 in order to get myself ready for her wakeups. And when she wakes up, DS wakes and I have to deal with 2 fussy children. Any suggestions on getting her to sleep later? Or dealing with the 2 sharing a room? We hope to someday dormer out the front of the house to split the room, but for now, we have to deal with this. I'm stressed to the max because DH is not a morning person, so it's mainly on my shoulders and I try to at least get an early morning workout in a few days a week and that is in jeopardy now since she's cutting into that time.

I always gave my kids their bottle and put them back to bed. Now that they are older they will wake up at 7 or so and most days hang out in their cribs until 8Chat Icon
