Saturday, Janette turned two months old and today she had her two month well check. She weighed in at 12 pounds 2 ounces (75%). This is 5.2 ounces more than her sister at the same age. She measured 23 inches tall (75%) and her head circumference is 37.5 cm (25%). She also got 3 shots and a liquid vaccine. Poor baby did not like the nurse poking her.
Looking through photos to decide which ones would make this post, I felt a little guilty. I have not taken near as many photos of Janette as I did of Jessica by the time she was 2 months old, but I will assuage my guilt by saying with Jessica I took like 12 photos of the same thing in a 3 minute interval whereas with Janette I only take like 1-2 photos in a 3 minute interval. So I’m going to say I’m taking quality photos instead of quantity of photos. The other thing is that Jessica is in a lot of the photos of Janette. I don’t know how to get around that. I do like that Jessica tells me “Janette photo” when she sees me with the camera, so that is helping me get more photos.

Janette is regularly sleeping 6-7 hours at night and last night she slept for 9. There are still 1 or 2 nights a week that she wakes more often, but I am blessed and can’t complain. At night, she has no problem sleeping in the crib. The daytime is a different story. Most of the time, she will wake right up as soon as I put her in the crib, so currently most of her daytime sleeping occurs in the bouncer or swing. There have been a handful of times where she will nap for 30 minutes in the crib, but I haven’t figured out the daytime crib aversion yet. She will also sleep in the car seat, which is fabulous, especially for the long drive to Midand.

She enjoys tummy time. I think some of that is probably because Jessica likes to lay down next to her. Jessica especially likes to put the mirror toy in front of Janette’s face.

Janette is gaining better control of her neck and upper body, allowing her to sit up with support.

So far, she has shown no interest in pacifiers, but being so laid back, there haven’t been too many instances where a pacifier was needed. Recently she has started sucking on her hands a little, but only when she is hungry. The jury is still out on Janette becoming a thumb-sucker, but I think she won’t. She is a drooler though.
It is so amazing to watch Janette watch Jessica or James or me. She is so intent when looking at us.

Janette’s first Christmas was pretty awesome. She didn’t have a problem sitting in Santa’s lap, unlike her sister who decided this year that Santa was not someone she wanted to get near even though she pointed him out on TV with a happy sounding “Santa.”

Janette didn’t mind one bit Jessica helping her open her gifts.

I can’t wait to see what this next month brings.
After this blog, Sarah will know why there were less pictures of her as a baby and you were always in the pictures with her. Janette has really grown and is doing great. Loved the pictures.
She is getting so big! You better make sure you take lots of pictures of Janette by herself. Little sisters don’t like looking back at baby pictures when they get older and not seeing that many of them but lots of big sister….I speak from experience. 🙂
I loved all of the pictures. Jessica is so sweet to Janette. Janette is getting big. Such cute expressions ! That is a good picture of all of you.
