Recently Kylie has been having a hard time dealing with Tiffany being away from her. I say Tiffany because that is mainly when it happens, when she leaves the room or puts Kylie down. Kylie will begin to cry the moment Tiffany is out of site or out of her arms. I had mentioned separation anxiety in a previous post, and it would seem that it has returned in force. According to Tiffany’s messages from babycenter, this is still perfectly normal:

If your child gets upset when you leave her now, she’s right on schedule. Twelve to 18 months is prime time for separation anxiety — a psychological term that means your baby can’t bear to be without you. The best way to handle painful farewells is to keep them short and sweet. Say goodbye with a quick kiss and head out the door. Don’t sneak out, but don’t prolong the agony with extended hugging and comforting. Your baby’s tears will subside soon after you’re out of sight. It’s hard not to feel guilty, but in the long run you’ll help your child become more independent if you don’t hover.

Though this is normal it can sometimes be very frustrating. I think I understand why she is having this issue mainly with Tiffany though, as she tends to still spend more of her time with me due to work schedules and such. In any event we know it is a temporary issue, and ultimately a good one.
