Yep.. Jesse is always doing something.. i was lucky to get alot of toys from my sister so he can go from one to the other and that keeps him happy for quite a while. He hasnt got too much of the seperation thing going yet.. only when he's tired or seems to be teething. But again he's got lots of toys that keep him amused and we baracade him into a large area of the lounge room so when i walk out of the room he doesnt notice most of the time. But if i walk in the area and sit down, he'll leave what hes doing and come and climb all over me and whinge for me to pick him up. CHN told me the reason for the seperation anxiety is because theyre discovering that they are a different person to you so its a bit of a shock, its very common.. and yes they will grow out of it.
