Separation Anxiety

Separation anxiety used to happen only once in a while ... whenever Mommy would drop Jillian off with someone, there might be some crying over Mommy leaving her. The (angry) tears were brief, so it wasn't much of a problem. Now, it seems like separation anxiety is happening all the time. If Mommy or Daddy is in a room with Jillian, and then we leave for even a few seconds, enough that we are out of her sight, she immediately starts crying out loud and doesn't stop until we come back into sight. It makes moving around the house difficult ... so carrying her with us is sometimes the way to go. The anxiety isn't just limited to Mommy and Daddy, either; she gets upset about being left by whoever is in the room with her.
