Emily has finally figured out that she's separate from her mother's body--so the developmental psychologists say happens around this age, and I now believe them. She does not like to be separated from her mommy at all. If J leaves the room, Emily crawls, bawling, after her. If J goes into the bathroom, Emily crawls up to the door and pounds it, usually with her fist, but sometimes with her head. If mommy leaves the apartment, she cries and looks pathetically out the kitchen window to see her go by. When the door opens, she jumps and crawls rapidly towards it, hoping it's mommy.
Her smile is so big now that it's a little demonic sometimes.
