SO CLINGY 😭

My boy just turned 9 months and for the past month or so he's been super clingy.. doesn't want anyone more than me. Chases me in his walker when I try to go to a different room or the kitchen. Cries when he sees me leave whines all the time if I'm not carrying him just says mamamama over and over until I grab him. Is this a stage or???? Im drained!
