Notes:

Made this for my cousin S's daughter, O. She's a great little kid, finally finding her own way in the world (18 months is a great age) and she's one of those babies, when you look in her eyes, you know she's going to be a good person. A thoughtful, caring person. It's hard to describe. S and her hubby are doing a great job with her... she signs!! And she's a good hugger and giggles from her toes.

Last night at a family party, she was gifted with the mittens ("mice go squeak! squeak!" and "kitties say MEOW!!!") and she liked them. ( mom loved them). It was nice to be able to knit for this little one. It won't be the last time. I think we need another flower top sweater, like her cousins' from last year....what do you think S? Blues on your gorgeous little blonde?

And b/c you haven't seen Pumpkin in awhile... this is what she is like 90% of the time... playing like a new kitten. Santa Paws brought her a fish that hooks to the window and dangles.... she likes the taste of PC's feet better.
