Two months

At two months, Jane has become a bit more particular about how she likes things.  She enjoys baths.  She hates riding in the car and will scream the whole way.  But loves being held by her tummy in a football hold facing out.  She likes to go to sleep with a pacifier.  She loves to watch her mobile and even laughs and coos at it.  We think she enjoys Vivaldi and Mom's singing.  Mom has started a three-hour schedule and she's eating faster and staying awake longer, but still mostly sleeps!  She is very easily overstimulated and if she doesn't get to sleep on time, she gets very cranky!  But she's starting to coo and continues to smile. 

One Month

This month was a crazy one!  Mom had to get used to this whole 'nursing' thing, while Jane picked it right up!  But this new little body has lots of growing to do.  So far she can grasp fingers, hold her head up, and turn it from side to side.  She had great control over this from the very beginning.  Makes mom wonder why she wouldn't turn her head for delivery:(  She also smiles and watches faces and high contrast patterns.  But mostly she sleeps.  Probably 18 hours a day or more!  She eats every 2 hours.

Jane's First Photo Shoot

A friend of ours offered to take some photos of Jane when she was just 5 days old.  Man, did it take some patience to get these photos!  But here they are, proof that it can be done with a sensitive little newborn.... even got a smile out of her.

The Many Faces of Jane

I know we're her parents and we see her through rose-colored glasses, but I don't care, you've got to admit, this is one adorable girl....

Mostly we notice she does 'grumpy' faces very well.  Must be those chubby cheeks.  But when she smiles it lights up our hearts.
