[louise]

and while I would not pretend to know anything about your baby I can tell you that my sister's little boy was exactly the same at six months old. In fact, untiil he was almost a year old, he would not let ANYONE other than his mom or dad pick him up or hold him. And that included me, his beloved Auntie Louise! I reassured my sister often (my now 13 yo twins were similar). My nephew is now 17months old and today he was quiite the life of a function we attended. He is stiill a little slow to warm up but iiis gaining confidence every day. I thoroughly believe that the MORE you hold, nurture and attend to a baby's needs the MORE attached and secure that little guy will be.

I if I were in your shoes, I would continue doing what you are doing and not worry. And most especially, continue enjoying every minute!
