Separation Anxiety

At his 9 month checkup, Dr. Dreiling told us that in the 9-12 month stage, it is very common for babies to start getting separation anxiety. We never really thought we would have that problem with Wright because he is just so laid back about everything. But this weekend, we saw the beginnings of it. At one point, a friend of ours picked him up and he screamed until I held him. The next day he cried for a few minutes when Mimi left our house. So, needless to say, we were a little worried about how he would be for the Harpers while they took care of him on Saturday night (B and I had a date). Turns out, he did great. I think it helped that his friend Lanie was there to play with him. When we left, he did not even notice us walk out the door because he was so intrigued with her.

We are excited about the week ahead. Caitlin, my 13 year old cousin, is in town from Austin and staying with us. We have a lot of fun things planned.
