tired baby?

DD is 7 months, sleeps approx 11-12 hours at night (sleeps with us, wakes a
few times to feed etc but doesn't really wake fully up) and has two naps
during the day, for about 1-1/2 hours each, but she seems to be a lot more
tired lately. This has been going on for the past month, she will wake up
and be full of beans, but after about half an hour she'll be yawning. She
will still play as normal, and fall asleep on cue easily when it's time for
her nap, or bed but I just wondered about the yawning and rubbing of eyes.
If I try to get her to sleep earlier she puts up a huge fuss - and doesn't
make much difference when she wakes up anyway. She is happy and gaining
weight otherwise, but I just wondered if anyone else has come across this?

Growth spurt perhaps?

If she is happy and gaining wieght I suppose theres no reason to think
it is a sugar issue like diabetes. Could it be allergies?
