Separation and Walking

Separation anxiety has set in for Tori. When her Mama gets out of the car to go to work, Tori cries. When I drop her off at the sitters, she cries. It had happened a few times in the past, but it really revved up this past weekend when her grandparents were in town. Especially when Grandpa Steve was alone in the room with her. We'd both leave the room to do something and she'd cry her eyes out. She wouldn't stop crying until we would return to the room. I'm glad that doesn't happen at the sitters!

Tori has taken a couple of steps in a row. Last night she took two short steps between the couch and chair, before grasping me. She's starting to get the idea that walking is fun. She just needs a bit more encouragement. It won't be too much longer and she'll be running after her big brother. I'm sure he won't enjoy that!
