It's been a long time...

Wow it has been a long time since I have blogged.  I quite missed it.  There is so much to tell and share, where on earth to begin?

Let start with the most important subject ... Snoekie!!
My little girl is now 16 months old, and I still stand in awe at how fast time flies.  We still breastfeed and co sleep but so much else has changed.  She now talks in sentences, runs around all over the place, and has an entire will of her own.

Don't ever think parenting gets easier .... it gets much harder!!!  Everyday there are difficult  choices to be made and hard lessons to be learned.  She learns so fast and copies everything we do and say.  This is also a learning school for mommy who can sometimes be a little short tempered and also doesn't also speak in a friendly tone of voice.  It really isn't cool when your baby tells you to wait or stop it.

Without comparing her to other children I have no idea whether we are on the right track or not.  I try to learn her as much as possible, but I also  don't want to push her.  

I wonder if other children her age also some times smack their mothers in the face? Throw their food on the ground? Scream if they don't get their way?  It sometimes feel like I'm fighting this battle alone.

I still love her to bits and love how she is so much like her mommy.  Even if she is still so young I see so much of myself in her. The poor man in my life is getting a double dose of me.

And off course as her mother I think she is the smartest little girl ever.  She is so intelligent ... it must be the overdose of breast milk she is getting.

I actually can't believe I'm still breastfeeding!  I am lasting longer then I thought I would.  Some days it drives me insane and i feel like taping my nipples ... but then I get reminded why and for who I am doing it and then we go on.  wow and I am getting allot off crap for still breastfeeding!  I thought it was bad when she was a baby, it gets much worst.  But I don't care!!

Must say ... I am getting seriously fatigued with her drinking all night.  But thats part of being a mom I guess.  I choose to make sacrifices so that she can be happy and healthy.
