A side by side comparison!
Comparison of April and Jocelyn both at 3 weeks old
My mom sent me a scan of this polaroid photo taken of me when I was three weeks old, apparently this was the day of my baptism/christening. I took some pictures of Jocelyn right around the same age and thought I’d post a side by side comparison. I included the handwritten caption on my photo, I think added by my Grandmother, from whom we choose Jocelyn’s middle name. I had a bit more hair; Jocelyn doesn’t have enough for a kewpie curl. My mom thinks we look alike, what do you think?
Jocelyn had her one month check-up on Friday. She’s gained weight well, and the Dr. thinks she is extremely healthy and thriving. The Dr. was impressed with how strong Jocelyn is and how well she pushes herself up (she’s been holding her head up since she was born). I think it’s hybrid-vigor! Poor baby did not like the immunization she had, it breaks my heart when she gets that upset. It was soon forgotten though when we were out and walking, she likes going for walks in the stroller.
Amazing similarity!
Wow! What a neat comparison – looks like we have a match!
Just for the record, it’s my (teenage) handwriting, but i recall my mom dictating because it was she who said “Note the Kewpie curl.” The head-holding up thing has precedent, mom commented that when placed on my stomach in the crib, I could lift my head up almost right away, & my 5 have all been head-holder-uppers, too.
Good call to live in California, if you were in Nebraska right now you would have to bundle little Jocelyn up & have the car warmed up just to take her for a short car ride, and the stroller would be out of the question! Definitely to her and your advantage, climate-wise!
Aunt Nat: Mom just told me the same thing yesterday. It is advantageous that the weather here is warmer, though it is the rainy season, which keeps us inside sometimes. I just got a “Sleepy Wrap” which is like a “Moby Wrap” for carrying her and she seems to like it really well and is well behaved in it. More convenient than using the stroller!
