I am not sure that they will ever completely stop but I have found that it gets a little better. At first Tobey would also wake up from a nap to follow me, but now he is about a year and nine months and he will only get up if I don't return back to the room he's in in like 5 min. or so.
I do tell him that he is OCD very frequently though

It's like they just can't help themselves!! they just HAVE to know what you are doing!!
