Stranger, Danger!

I've noticed in the past week or so, Penny protests sometimes when other people hold her. I don't think it is 'separation anxiety' because I am usually right there when it happens (my understanding is that separation anxiety happens when mommy is out-of-sight and baby doesn't understand enough to know when, or if, mommy will ever come back). I guess this is a case of clinginess or 'stranger anxiety'. I have had some challenging experiences trying to cook and/or eat with people when she won't let them hold her. I'm hoping that if we keep letting other people hold her, she will eventually get used to it.
On the positive side, she has been better when left alone with her dad, she is finally getting better at taking the bottle, and she is generally in a good mood now that she is napping better.
