More words

So to add to the list of words, Elijah now says 'over there'. He calls the postman 'bi bi / bee bee' - I have no idea why but he then demands I sing the Postman Pat theme song!! Car is 'brrrrmm b'. His scooter trike is 'deetdah'. And bowls (specifically the black melamine measuring cups) are called 'duh buh'. Who knows where he has got these from!!!

Most cute of all is when he is asked a question he says a perfect 'uhm...ahh...' when considering his response (which is always either yes / ya or no!)

The last time...

There have been, and will be lots more, last times. Some will be sad times, some will be times to celebrate. A few nights ago was the last time I breastfed Elijah. On the day Elijah was born I had no idea that we would still be nursing almost 22 months later. Over recent months Elijah has slowly self weaned, no longer waking to feed over night or wanting it in the day. So when we were down to once a day at bedtime and it was no longer helping him relax, I decided it was time to stop. 

And so we have. We now have a story and cuddles at bedtime instead and that is lovely.
