See below:: You and your baby are starting to feel (and act) like separate people. Sitting up, rolling, reaching out and act on the world are seen. He worries you might not come back when you go away from him and lets you know it. He begins to recognize, have desires, & uses different sounds to express emotions/frustration/anger. This explains your transition. He could also be waking up from a nightmare.
