we're just getting to the end of it...we also went through it around 5-6 months. I think 9 months is the most common age for seperation anxiety though. I'm pretty sure it's just one of those things that you have to just ride out until it ends...it can get so frustrating because it's hard to get anything done when you can't walk out of a room without LO flipping out but just remember it's only temporary and totally normal.

This.  This age is typically when they realize you are a separate entity that can leave and possibly not come back.  For the longest time DD would wail if either my mom or I walked away from her even if DH was holding her.  You need to just get through it.  Eventually when they start asking for daddy over you you'll feel that little pang of sadness.  So cuddle your LO when she gets that needy.
