Progress update

I haven’t kept it a secret that I am still breastfeeding but because the feeds are less frequent it isn’t so obvious, however those that know me well and know I am still breastfeeding are making comment like: its about time you thought about stopping’ etc. Honestly if you want to know every ones view about something have a baby and they will soon be quick to judge.
In 3 weeks Eleftheria will be turning 1 year old. The months have passed by so quickly. I have been getting pressure from some people to stop breastfeeding, I am not ready yet and I don’t think Eleftheria is either. Most people think I have waited too long already but I can’t think of any reason to stop.
I let Eleftheria dictate when I breastfeed her, and her own natural progression has lead us to 2-3 times a day. At lunch time and in the evening before she goes to bed and once during the night.
We are off to England again for the holidays, in one sense I can’t wait to see my family and friends again and for them to see my little angel and how much she has grown and how clever she is, but on the other hand I know that I will be scrutinized again for my choices.

Eleftheria’s new tricks
She is now walking, and that means mummy is now chasing her everywhere.
When I point to my lips and ask for a kiss I get big wet kisses.
She waves, blows kisses and covers her eyes to play beek a boo.
The odd word is sneaking in like Dada, Hello, Yiayia (greek for grandma) and Ta (thank you).
She can also put the shapes into the right holes on one of her toys.
Her favourite game is emptying the cupboards, be it Tupperware, pots and pans, food or clothes it has to come out and put on the floor for inspection.
