Dear Julius,

Your Grandma Velara spent a long long time knitting this baby blue outfit just for you! And you just look adorable in this, wow. It fits you perfectly - you are 4 months old in this photo! One of these days when I have more money, I’ll send a photo or two of you wearing this to your Grandma (she keeps asking, but patience is a virtue, yes?) - in the mean time, this is my ghetto way of sharing photos with people.

What I love about this outfit is that there are so many things to love about this outfit! You use the blanket absolutely every day, and it seems your fingers have a way of finding where the holes are so you can grab the blanket and pull the whole thing into your mouth. You tend to kick your socks off, so they barely even stayed on for the photoshoot - but they sure are cute on you when you manage to keep them on.

The hat is so comfy on your head to keep you warm… although I do sometimes worry you might choke on the ribbon attached to it since you put EVERYTHING in your mouth that you can get your hands on! What I really love the most is the sweater especially since it’s winter time. Several people have commented on how beautifully stitched the whole outfit is, the blanket, the sweater, the booties. Everyone who has ever seen you in this outfit just admires it!! So be sure to thank your Grandma when you learn to talk. I love the hearts in the stitching. It doesn’t take a genius to see how much time was put into each detail. The whole ensemble is a work of art. A masterpiece of sorts.

I love you, baby.

Feel free to see more photos of you wearing this in the photo gallery under the category “Hand-knitted Outfit by Velara.”

Love
Mom
