Her post quickly garnered thousands of ‘likes’ and prompted numerous followers to share their thoughts in the comments section.
Taken aback by how much she’s grown, one follower noted: “Awww her little teeth shes such a cutie. They grow up too quickly”, while another chimed in: “Gorgeous, growing so fast.”

Janette’s sweet update comes after she took Lyra to her first ever festival as part of Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies’ 40th birthday celebrations. The family-of-three joined a plethora of exclusive guests including Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood, former Strictly contestant John Whaite and professional dancer Katya Jones.
For the adventurous outing, little Lyra melted hearts in a pair of denim leggings and a pink quilted jacket. Protected against the spring chill, Janette’s daughter was also dressed in a bobble hat and a pair of festival-worthy daisy sunglasses.
Reflecting on Sara’s birthday festival, Janette heaped praise on her close friend, telling her Instagram followers: “Oh my god, what an amazing night. I mean, there was so much love for her there, truly deserving. She’s one of the most incredible women I know – so kind and caring and smart. I’m really inspired by her.”

Lovebirds Janette and Aljaz welcomed their daughter Lyra Rose back in July last year. Their pregnancy initially came as a surprise as Janette managed to fall pregnant naturally whilst the couple were preparing for IVF treatment.

I have so much respect for any parent that goes through IVF, not just for what it puts them through physically but mentally too.”
