Beautiful and Free Baby Pattern

My grandson "William" keeps getting more beautiful. The truth...

I believe every new life is beautiful. After sending me this photograph my daughter said, "I just hope he's happy. I know he's so love by us, I just hope he's happy." Does he look happy to you? To me he does. As a mom myself, I have to say I've never seen a mother as involved in how a child feels, as the mother of this child. Once a first time mom myself, I don't ever remember saying, I just hope he's happy. I am incredibly proud of my daughter, she's so much more engaged in how her son feels, and that to me is it's truly amazing.

So I added this Free Pattern for all today. I think these are just adorable. Enjoy the pattern and have a wonderful day.
