always having to carry him

we have this glider chair we put our son and just recently he doesnt seem to want to be in it..everytime i try to put him in it he cries...i pick him up and he is fine...all of a sudden he wants me to hold him and carry him everywhere...i cant even leave the room without him crying...he only does this with me...i am wondering why is he acting like this with me only...i feel like he thinks i am leaving him...can he have seperation anxiety this early...i dont mind holding him but he is getting heavy and i cant hold him all the time...does anyone have any advice for me...

We went through the same thing and I started playing peek-a-boo with our son. I made a game out of it I would duck behind a wall and jump out so he knew it was ok. We started this when he was about 3 1/2 months. He is now 15 months and I can do laundry and dishes while he plays in his room. When he get tired though that is a different story. Good luck.
