Welcome to Parker Thomas!


Parker Thomas is the latest addition to our family's growing list of great-grandchildren - I think he's the SIXTH great-granchild in 3 years. It just won't stop - every time we turn around there's another announcement of another pregnancy. Don't get me wrong - I am not complaining. I just think it's hilarious that my cousins are obviously having tons of sex!
But hey, more sex means more babies, and more babies means cute little outfits like this. This is my standard vintage baby sweater, knit in King Cole Smooth DK on 4 mm Addi turbos. I actually don't know the name of the colour but I thought it was so cute - it's kind of like a grass green. And the hat was actually supposed to be a bonnet, but I thought a bonnet was a little TOO vintage and I decided at the last second to go with a touque style instead. This resulted in some fandangling creativity - thus the two wooden button detail on the back. But......isn't it just so cute?
For some reason, the whole thing reminds me of Cabbage Patch Dolls. No idea why.
So Parker apparently made his first trip to church last week and he was wearing his snazzy new sweater. I'm sure he picked up a girlfriend or two in between the recitation of the Psalms!! I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, but I look forward to doing so in just a few weeks.
Welcome to the world, Parker! We are so excited to meet you.
ps. It's my busy time of year - marking and more marking to get through. I shan't attempt to write much before July. Stay cool, dudes! xo
