Very sweet.
Hard to remember feet and heads that tiny, even now.
What a cute set. I love the colour of the booties and I bet they're incredibly soft.
Where's the matching baby blanket?
Are those booties from Last Minute Gifts? They look it. I made a pair for a friend's baby and she loved them.
So beautifully soft looking! What a wonderful set. :) Butterbean will certainly look terrific in these.
Awww. The widdle bitty Scotch bottle looks so warm and snuggly. Really cute hat! I'm going to have to try this one.
Oh... So nice and soft! Pretty... And that sweater in the post below turned out great!
