As Lilly is approaching 9 months she is definitely showing more of an attachment for me.  During classes she has always been a careful observer and done her own thing, but lately she hovers over me.  Earlier in the week she seemed a bit ‘off’ (pretty sure her top teeth are coming in) and surprised me by putting her head in my lap and relaxing for several minutes, which she has NEVER done (always on the go).  She also seems to be experiencing separation anxiety – at times she cries when I leave the room and she needs to be consoled more when I put her to sleep.  I have to admit that I LOVE this milestone.  I also hope that that the separation anxiety doesn’t get too much worse.
