I'm not sure why I want to write about this...I guess just to keep track of how things are always changing. Lately, anytime that I set Adelaide down, she gets upset and cries. She wants to be held constantly most of the time. I love to hold her so usually it's okay, but when it's time to use the bathroom or do the laundry, it gets difficult.
I read that it's common for children to get separation anxiety at 9 months old, or around the time they being to crawl. The book said that it's to make them stay close at a time when their body said "go". It's important to me for Punkie to be secure, and I know that she IS very secure, but I'm hoping to keep it that way. This means that I'm not going to set her down and let her cry for more than a few seconds, because I don't want her to be sad, I don't want her to be afraid, and I want to hold her as much as I can while she will still let me. I know this too will soon change and she probably won't want to be picked up at all.
