Hi Cindy, My little guy (9 months old, today) loves to be out on the deck in the evenings all by himself. It's cooler out there then in the house so we think that is why. During the day he prefers to be in the house but from sun down on he wants out. He still checks to make sure we are OK in the house without him but he's not afraid to be out alone. Our deck looks out over a lake across the street and he is content to just "survey his kingdom" like the king he thinks he is. When he is inside at night he likes to lay on the cool bathroom tile floor, again alone. I don't mean to sound like he doesn't like to be around us, heck most of the time he is following us around and won't let us out of his sight but he is a very independent little guy and shows not one bit of insecurity. Hope this helps.
