Okay, I wasn’t going to say it while you were deciding, but supposedly buttons + babies = bad (from a paranoid, worry-wart parenting sort of view). At any rate, its DONE and the not-so-wee Thumper will not be cold for a while, judging from the rolled up sleeves.
He’s ridiculously cute. Should be illegal, or something. Need … baby … time…

I just love that sweater, and Thumper just looks so stinking cute in it.

Thumper almost makes me want one. Almost. Pretty darn close. If I could be assured of a duplicate, I’d be sold.

I want to squeeze the stuffing out of him. Great sweater. Beautiful, squeezable, darling boy. Sigh.

The zipper looks great, and so does the baby. Together they are just gorgeous!

Cute! OMG, cute! I can’t wait to see you guys this weekend. Is little Thumper-man going to be wearing his sweater? That boy needs lots and lots of Auntie Nipper squeezes and tummy rubs. And mom needs some knitting time. 😉

Sorry – I still can’t look past those cheeks to see the sweater. How do you ever tear yourself away from those wonderful squishy cheeks??

It looks great with the zipper–and look how happy l’il Thumper is in it! Awww. Extra delicious, indeed.
Posted by: Michelle
Thumper seems such a cheerful baby, I love seeing photos of him!
I also love that sweater! I never considered it before, but it’s pretty adorable… plus I love Mission Falls 1824 wool. More of my friends need to have babies, STAT.

Oh, *sweet*! that’s adorable…

The zipper is a good call. Looks like he’s still got some growing room in it too.
My second son was a big’un too. The neighbors nicknamed him “Tank Barnard, World’s Youngest Wrestler”. I called him my puffer belly and I used to sing that song to him all the time. He was such a giggly little guy.
Oh, thanks for the memories!

Cute! I love it with the zipper. Thumper is a great model too!

Posted by: Michelle S.
Cuuuute! (Thumper and sweater.) And would you believe that Mooky weighs the same, give or take a pound?
Posted by: alison
I’m so tickled by all the stripes – the vertical ribs in the sweater, the horizontal chubbies around the thighs and butt, the little feet..

good lord, woman, are you making BUTTER? I thought mine was a chunker (22 lbs at 10 mos), but wow. such a happy baby, too. he looks like he has a great giggle.

This was zipper week! (Check on my own blog). But yours looks much better.
Posted by: Diana
Ack! He is the handsomest extra-delicious babe out there! I think you’ll be happy with the zipper… and that cardi leaves much room to grow, doesn’t it? Slobbery smooches from Peanut.
Posted by: Karma
SO. Cute. He is the best model ever, isn’t he?
Posted by: Annie
Oh wow! That jacket looks so toasty warm on Thumper! You did a great job and I really like the zipper. It just looks warmer to me, as sometimes buttons leave gaps you know…
