Lyra, whom Janette welcomed into the world back in July, looked so precious swaddled in a mocha-hued blanket. And whilst the youngster's face was largely concealed, the tot's dark brunette locks were on full display.

Janette, meanwhile, was all smiles in a timeless nautical striped jumper complete with capped sleeves. She looked every inch the doting mother as she sweetly held her baby daughter whilst sitting at a luxurious, mirrored table.

A third fan remarked: "Ahh bless, look at Lyra's hair, beautiful," and a fourth sweetly added: "Wow she's grown!"

This isn't the first time Janette has shared glimpses inside little Lyra's milestone moments. Back in September, the mother-of-one shared a sweet photo to mark two months since her baby daughter's arrival.

The snap showed Janette and Lyra gazing at a print that said: "Dream a little dream of me," whilst in her caption, Janette noted: "Two months."

"Adorable. So full of love and happiness," one fan wrote in the comments section, and another enthused: "I love this photo."

Janette shares Lyra with her husband Aljaz Skorjanec. The lovebirds, who wed in 2017, announced their joyous baby news on Instagram with a touching black-and-white image.

"That love is so deep; nothing else compares," she said. "You can see she's learning and developing. She recognises our faces and our voices, and that connection is just incredible."

She went on to say: "She's the most amazing baby. She's really [content] and only cries if she's hungry or needs a nappy change."

Aljaz, meanwhile, added "Every single day is a pinch-yourself moment. Of course, it's very demanding, but the beautiful moments make all the sleepless nights worth it, like when I see her happy and smiling and I'm looking at her with such excitement and anticipation to see what she's going to do next."
