  1. 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…

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

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

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

  16. 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. 😉

  21. 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.

  30. 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!

  89. 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…
