I've ruined my kid.... how do I fix it?

DS2 is my last baby and I've spoiled him. I work full time and get home around 5:30 he goes to bed at 7:00. I hold him most of that time. I try and get him to play independently or with his brother or me or DH but if he isn't interested, and a lot of times he isn't, I just hold him. He's not walking yet and was a late crawler and I know that's why. I feel guilty that I've ruined him but part of me doesn't care, he's my last baby and he's not going to want me to hold him for much longer.... or is he? I don't want him to be momma's boy. My couisin has a two year old that insists that his mom holds him constitanly and has a melt down if she puts him down or trys to hand him off to someone else and I find it super annoying when he does it so I have to put a stop to it before it's too late (Iv'e just talked myself into it!). But how? I can't stand to just let him sit on the floor and cry when all he wants to do is be held? What should I do?
