Babies: 9 - 12 Months

In tears from 9 month old :( So devastated that he doesnt get excited for me!

I recently went back to work and my 9 month old goes to my sister in laws house four times week and I pick him up after work.  She has five kids so he gets to play with his cousins all day...maybe thats the reason he seems to LOVE being there and when I arrive to pick him up he turns away from me??  I am so devastated and feel like he doesnt feel attached to me whatsoever.  Its so sad.  I feel ike I did something wrong, he was bottle fed..maybe we didnt bond? 

Also, I am the one who does all the "chore" things with him, bath, bed, toothbrush...the things he doesnt like always fall on me and DH's time with him is all play.  He gets SOO excited to see DH arrive home from work but never gets that excited for me.  Can any of you relate? Its such an awful feeling and in all honesty, I am embarassed by it..I feel like my inlaws must think I did something wrong and that its weird that my LO doesnt love me, or show that he loves me in front of them.
