Yes it's normal, the longer you breastfeed for the longer it takes for your milk to dry up.  Also any stimulation (like squeezing to see if you have any milk there) will keep the milk supply going.

Some antidepressants also keep lactation going, ie Prozac.

Totally normal.  I still have a little milk every now and then now.  Jack is almost 2 and i only breastfed him for a few weeks.
