That is the same age that we started having problems with DS1 sleeping too. I don't know what it is about that age - either teething, or starting to get more mobile and aware. But it's certainly trying, isn't it!
I don't know what is going to work for you, but there are some options of things for you to try. There is always co-sleeping all the time, although it doesn't help you during the day if you don't want to sleep too. You could also try with no wrapping. It might take a few days for that to work, but if it improves the sleeping overall it would be worth it. Or you could try changing his routine. It might be that he's ready to drop a day sleep, so you could try that. Or conversely, it might be that he is having too long between sleeps and you are missing that "window". In which case you could try putting him down earlier for each of his sleeps. You could also try music at sleep time, and/or a gentle massage at bed time.
As I say, I'm not sure which of those things, if any, would work for you, but I hope you can find something in there to make your life easier. He will settle down again - sooner or later - and I hope it's sooner for you. Hang in there hun. You really are doing a fantastic job.
