Kody is ever changing and driving his mommy bonkers!!

Ok, so due to work and summer I have been too busy to get on the forum very often but now these new developments have prompted me to ask some more questions. :oops: Those of you who have offered me advice in the past will remember some of Kody's different stages with his aggressive play and making me look like a domestic violence victim, his overall stubborness etc....for the most part that has stopped except for a random regression. Kody turned a year old on July 12th and we now have new behaviors that have surfaced in the last 3 weeks. The first time was actually pretty funny and quite cute and I really didn't think much about it but based on the now daily events I now wonder if I need to nip this behavior in the bud before it turns into something ugly. About 3 weeks ago I came home from a very long and stressful day at work. I went through my normal routine of putting my stuff away while talking to first Kody and then the 2 cats. (He has stopped the jumping on me when I come through the door finally). So anyway about an hour later my husband came home, he also greeted Kody in his normal manner and then came over to me. We stood there and talked for a minute about our day and then I leaned in for a hug which lasted a little longer than normal because I really needed it after the day I had and I was so worn out that I really just didn't want to move. All of a sudden Kody came barreling over, stood next to us and started barking up at us...we still didn't move so he jumped up and tried to pry his body in between us barking the whole time. 8O So as I said it was funny and cute because I thought it was just that he didn't want to be left out! But as I look back at the situation now I wonder...he did not stop barking or get down until we actually broke apart and it took him a few minutes to settle down. Well now if my husband comes and sits next to me on the couch Kody will come over and weasel his way in between us, if he can't he will start the barking. ( My husband would sit next to me prior to this incident and he would come over to us but not in this new format).
His other new behaviors include his trying to hunch me whenever he gets excited about something if I am close by. He never does this with anyone but me and to be honest I am the only one in the family who is consistant with discipline when he does something he shouldn't. Does that urge never go away?? He was neutered before we got him at 5 months....is it because he was neutered too young? Once again I'm open for suggestions :? Thanks everyone!
