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.

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!

I can't even tell you how cute the sweater is because I'm too busy gazing at the cutest baby ever.

Posted by: Carole

The zipper is perfect. The sweater is perfect. The kid is perfect.

But then, you already knew that.

back in the day (pre-blog records, only paper ones)... found my paper "blog" re my son - 3-1/2months, 18 lbs - had to take back the 6 month sized snowsuit and put him in a 1yr size - he was 30 lbs at a year, and now looks like this www.julianvelard.com and all the docs said not to worry - it was extremely scary - thank GOD my back held up until he started to walk a1 12 mos 30 lbs -
he's now 6-2 and ...

oh yeah - the sweater? perfection! (but of course you knew that already?:-D)

Posted by: margaret in manhattan

Posted by: k

Oh MY God - he's too cute - how am I supposed to even see the sweater with all the cuteness that's in it???

Posted by: Chris

He's sooooo cute. I just want to go and zerberd his cheeks.

Nice sweater mamma!

Posted by: Steph

Thumper is so yummy! Seeing him makes me want another. Ssshhh, don't let hubby know, he'll be running for the hills (we already have 4 children.........). Oh and yeah, the sweater is adorable, I love the zipper.

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..

Posted by: Mary K. in Rockport

He looks so happy and cozy in his sweater!

Posted by: brooke

How. Adorable. Must look away from baby sweetness!

Take care!

Posted by: melly

Your little man is just so sweet! Love the foot kicking action too. As has been said, the sweater rocks!

Posted by: delia

I like the zipper and the colour choice. All of these beautiful baby pics are making my clock tick a little louder :D

Posted by: Tiffany

Damn that's a cuddly little bundle. So sweet.

Oh, the sweater, yes. I like that too.

Posted by: Rachel H

17 lbs. already!?! He's a big boy! He looks so scrumptious in his sweater.

Posted by: Kirsten

That's one huge-mous, yummy baby you have as a model there. Looks like he likes the sweater, so I think its a keeper.

Posted by: PuppyMomma

Aww it came out PERFECT Cari! :)

Posted by: Laura

Indeed. Extra delicious.

Posted by: claudia

Yum. That is all.

Posted by: Cassie

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.

Posted by: jen

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...
