9 Months

Luka just turned 9 months, and just as all the books say, he's reached the peak of his separation anxiety.  I can barely step a few feet away from him without his eyes widening in protest and him whimpering and crying.  Sometimes, when he's a little tired, you'd think he was in pain- he turns red, doesn't breath, and screams.  It can be overwhelming for me most of the time, the constant contact and attention, but I have to remember that these are all stages that will soon pass.  Another factor that adds to his mommy-madness is his runny nose and fever, which I think he got from traveling on the airplane.  I can't believe how he is growing and I'm starting to understand his little individual self.  So much has been happening lately that needs to be blogged!
