A wonderful package arrived, filled with snuggley cardigans for The Baby Brother. Amazing, intricate knitting, complicated patterns and all soft against his skin.
I love the colour of this one, so vibrant
but this one is my favourite, it has a real vintage feel to it. I could imagine a '50s baby in a cute little jacket like this
Hasn't he got a clever Grandma!
The weeks are flying by in a bit of blur, I keep trying to remember to take photos of his tiny baby days as they are so fleeting but one day blends into the next without a proper night time to differentiate it. He has a wonderful range of grunts and groans, accompanied by lip pursing and gurning. He smiles at opportune moments too, which I know is not a conscious act yet but his timing is so good it melts my heart, and when his lower lip does it's little wobble......!
What a lovely parcel to have received ~ he is a lucky boy to have such a clever Grandma. She must have put a lot of work into knitting those. I love your favourite vintage style jacket too, I'm sure he'll look gorgeous in them all. Take Care ~ Jackie xx

What a lovely selection of cardies! They really are to be treasured. My younger son smiled very, very early, and I assumed it was coincidental, but the health visitor said that babies who hold their heads up firmly and strongly also smile (genuinely) very young. Maybe you are truly seeing his first smiles! Treasure those, too...
