DD is gradually getting a little better recently, but it's very similar to what most of you have described already - if I'm in sight she will strain to get me rather than anyone else, and if she sees me leave the room all hell breaks loose! She's almost walking now and her favourite pasttime is to stand next to me/behind me hugging my legs. I have to say 'DD, mummy's going to walk now' or 'DD, mummy's going to stand up now' and she sits straight down, but follows straight after me whinging and moaning. One of her first words was çuddle' too - said with outstretched arms in my direction (I think it's cute, but I don't know that her grandparents agree when 'she refuses to cuddle them....). She also throws herself against the shower door howling, but i don't take her in the shower with me, because the few times I have she just wants to be held the whole time so it's impossible to get clean.
I don't mind her being around me all the time, I don't even mind that I can't go to the toilet in peace, but I do feel bad for DH sometimes. She's getting better with him, and for some reason is absolutely fine with my mum and dad, even though they are on the other side of the world so she's not spent major amounts of time with them. I find myself apologising to other people when she snubs them, but actually i think I probably shouldn't because she can understand an awful lot of what I say now. I do try to reassure her that I'm still there etc and I'm always saying to her 'DD and mummy stick together like glue'.
