The woman to conceive at the oldest age ever known - 67 - got her certificate from the Guinness World Records on Tuesday, the day her daughter turned six months old.
Adriana Iliescu made headlines around the world when the birth of her child, Eliza Maria Bogdana, by caesarian operation, was made public.
Iliescu wants the best for her child, as any mother would, but most of all she whishes Eliza will stay healthy. The blue-eyed Eliza weighs now 6.3 kilos and is 63-centimeter long; while at birth she weighed 1.4 kilos and measured 4- centimeters in height.
She eats well and had her milk-diet diversified with cottage cheese, bananas and vegetables, of which she does not care much for the carrots.
The little girl was dressed all in pink, like a little princess, for the first photo shooting of her life. She was smiling while protected in her motherâs lap and also showed a lot of personality.
Eliza was a child long awaited for by her mother, hence she will be a happy person "because loved children are well balanced," Iliescu says.
She is a protective mother, not taking the baby to crowded places or having too many people over at her house.
Still, neighbors and people meeting Iliescu by chance in the street - all offer their help.
"Many sent me parcels with clothes, toys and all sorts of things for my girl," she says.
"I never felt people being judgmental; on the contrary, all did their best to help me," she added.
Eliza grows up listening to cultured music, like Rossini, winter carols and piano concertos. "I would like her to learn playing the piano. A piano is one personâs best friend," adds Iliescu. She also dreams for her daughter to become a Romanian language teacher or a physician. Anyway, she says she will not impose her choice on the child.
Whether admired or criticized by others, Iliescu stays ha
