Janie was on the love sac one afternoon and she wanted to fall asleep so Ryan ran upstairs and got her his lion to snuggle with.
One morning when I was getting everything ready to leave for school drop off, Ryan sat down with his transformers and told Janie all about them. He ran to me after and said, “she loved it!”
She will twist and turn in every possible way to see the TV.
On November 10, 2014 . . . Janie was blessed. It was a wonderful day with family and friends. Wes gave Janie a beautiful blessing . . . the part that I will always remember is when he blessed her to be a calming influence in our home. Twice. Life’s a little crazy with boys.
Wes’ parents came in to town that weekend which we always love! Grandma & Grandpa G. are quite wonderful – we just wish we could see them more often.
Since the entire Marz clan isn’t together all that often & ready for photos . . . we took some family photos!
Everyone pitched in and we had dinner at our house on Sunday night with family and the McDonald family. It was great to celebrate Janie!
Can’t believe this little lady is a month old. We sure do love having her in our family.
She’s quite a good baby – I can’t complain at all about having a hard newborn. That can always change but so far, so good.
A little bit about Janie . . .
- she smiles! and “talks”. It’s pretty cute how responsive she is.
- she loves her binky.
- she loves to sleep in her carseat. She’s very portable!
- at night she still sleeps in her little papasan chair. She likes being elevated and is a great sleeper so we’ve kept her there so far!
- she varies between sleeping for four hours at night to sleeping eight {yes, I said 8} hours at night! Didn’t know that was possible with a 1 month old.
- She’s generally pretty content during the day. She will let you know when she’s hungry or if she needs a diaper change or a little attention, but is overall a happy girl.
- When she’s awake and laying down, she is almost always kicking one of her legs.
- She’s a little chunk. At her one month appointment she weighed 11.2 pounds and was 22.5”. Her head had grown a lot since she was born so Dr. Carrie was talking to me about that. She measured my head and determined that the big head is probably just genetic. Lovely.
- she loves her bath.
- She is a great eater. She latched on from day 1 and has been a great eater. She’ll nurse or take a bottle!
- She likes to be swaddled.
- She is a cuddler.
- She is very expressive with her hands and eyebrows.
- her nighttime routine consists of her being kept awake . . . a bath around 9pm that calms her down and wakes her up for a little bit . . . mama feeding her and Wes’ magic touch of rocking and cuddles before she’s out!
- Janie and I spent a lot of time sitting in a chair on the driveway watching the boys play outside.
We love this little lady of ours!
