Seperation Anxiety?

[alibali]

Is it seperation anxiety time yet?  If I walk out of view for .2 of a second, Ziva starts screaming her little head off.  She will sometimes do this when I leave the room even if Mark is around.  It's just lovely.  On one hand, it's nice to be so loved that being gone for a second makes her completely heartbroken.  On the other hand, it totally sucks, is heartbreaking, and sometimes I just really have to pee.

Honestly, I'm super happy that when I bring her in to daycare she smiles and practically lunges for the ladies in there.  It would totally fucking suck if she started crying everytime I dropped her off.  So, at least I know we made a good choice in picking out daycares and that she really does like it there.

By the way, today she was dressed like a little person and looked absolutely adorable.  Jeans with a real button and zipper, a black long sleeve shirt with ruffles, pink and grey shoes, and her adorable white peacoat.  If she had more hair, she could've passed for a little 14 yr old diva.

Milo gets upset when I walk away from him. I am pretty sure it is because I have the milk!

I'd scream too if someone took my food! haha It's funny cause she'll crawl away from me without a problem, but if I want to move - its not allowed.

E (7 months old) started doing this more this week. Other things are going on-- started daycare, sick, etc.-- but I also wonder if it's the age.

I'm guessing it is an age thing - that does make sense. I remember my mom saying I was horrible from when I was like 5 months until I was like 4 haha (I was VERY shy). E has a lot going on all at once so at least he'll adjust to it all at once.

Likely to be an age thing, she doesn't know that if you leave you will of won't come back. Try waving and saying goodbye and making a big thing of it (rather than sneaking out, this will make things worse!), she won't understand at first but she will get it eventually. You can also be noisy when you have left the room (talking to her, singing) so that she knows you still exist.
It's sweet but drives you crazy!

I was trying to sing to her when I was in the bathroom the other day but she was just not having it! The lady at daycare told me she had to bring Ziva to the bathroom with her today because she'd scream whenever the lady tried to walk away. I told her "hey, whatever works!" We always do lots of cuddles and kisses before I leave daycare so I think she understands the concept and doesn't cry. But, man, if I need to just grab something really quick in the other room she screams!

I can't wait until she realizes that I still exist in the other room.
