diagnose: teething or sep anxiety??

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

what is your opinion... last week my DD turned one and has been a huge crank-pot ever since!!  maybe molars??  i also read that separation anxiety peaks between 12-18 months, and i SAH with her so maybe that is it? 

she has started SCREAMING whenever we ride in the car, when she usually has been great in car rides, we do lots of activities (well not lately, today i had to turn around and come home cuz she was SO upset).  i dont want to turn her forward facing quite yet so she'll be safter, plus i'm not positive that would solve her problem anyway...

a few days ago she had really watery poop, then it got solid again but a little more frequent (2x a day instead of the usual once).  during the day she whines SO MUCH, i have to hold her all the time, it's driving me nuts... and she was not happy with DH playing with her.

she's never been a big drooler so that isnt any different.  are there any other signs i can look for?  we gave her motrin tonight so hopefully she'll sleep okay, since her naps were awful.   if it's separation anxiety though, is there anything i can do?

    It sounds like sep. anxiety to me, mostly based on the car ride and not playing with DH thing. I'm a SAHM, too, and about a week ago, DS decided he wants me to hold him all. day. long. I'm so relieved when DH gets home, but then DS wants nothing to do with him. It's frustrating, but I know it's a phase and he'll eventually get over it.
