Baby Boy cracks me up. Look at his face in that first picture, I call it his boy face, I know when he makes it he is getting ready to be mischievous.  This spiderman shirt has been featured before, but the various boys in my life (especially his Dad who picked it out for him) geek out on it whenever they see it....I think it is the first appearance of spiderman or something like that anyway.  The pants are vintage, and I sort of forgot about them, but now B is almost grown out of them.

Boys!

I was reading the other day that boys start to develop testosterone at around age 3.....here is my sweet little boy and his friend from school enjoying each other's company.  B is wearing his fave Tea pants with one of his many Super Hero tees and "vintage" Reeboks.

Spiderman hat

B has been very insistent on his fashion choices lately. He definitely picked out this outfit all by himself, though I insisted he wear a hat, any hat, as it was a chilly morning. Lately these pants from Tea have been an almost everyday request, they are getting thin from constant washing.

B and his Pock?

BB insists that this little chunk of wood is his Pock...and why not?  I have to admit these shiny green pants are growing on me, and with the brightly colored tee they make an almost monochrome outfit.  I really like the look.

Singing in the Rain

Couldn't resist posting one more pic of B in his rainy day gear, especially since he looks so ready to burst into song!

Rainy Day Fun

Baby Boy outgrew his beloved yellow rainboots, so I picked up another pair at my fave local joint, Smoochie Baby. These are from Tretorn and B really loves them. He's been asking to wear them rain or shine, but they are a bit big...I bought them a half-size up, but they run large, so he trips a little bit. As for the rest of the outfit the shorts are re-mixed from last year and come from H & M, the coat is a Salvation Army find from several years ago that is just now fitting. All and all a happy baby boy on a rainy day!

Spiderman Socks

B didn't want to have me take his picture this morning, maybe he was embarrassed by the meaningless caption on his shirt? It says "Driving cross country in my truck" I get the red appliqued truck for a boy, but why did they feel the need to add the caption? Isn't the object itself enough to strike the imagination of a little boy? Why do they need to prescribe what he might be doing with his truck also? Anyway, it was a hand-me-down and I do like the red against the blue. Both the shirt and the shorts were originally from the Gap, though I bought neither of them there.

These socks are B's favorites, but they are getting to small. Where do you find spider-man socks?

The Shark

Here is Baby Boy, all ready for bed in his shark pjs (from Old Navy) and to cool in his Daddy's shades (from a guy on the street).

MAD B-BOY

I know posts have been scarce lately (I hear you JW, and I certainly don't mean to keep you from the latest and greatest pics of your grandson!) but this is generally the look and attitude I get when I try to take his pic these days. Sigh. Well he is still a joy when I'm not taking his picture and he certainly loves this Wolverine tee!

PS He picked out this outfit himself.

Baby Boy hates scarves

I tried to get BB to wear this very cute scarf from IKKS that I found several years ago in a sale bin at this adorable little place in the East Village on Second Ave, which I can not remember the name of. Baby Boy says ICK to the IKKS. (sorry for the bad pun, couldn't resist)

"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly"

I don't know why I love this song so much, but I do. I used to sing it all the time as a kid, and when BB and his BFF were babies I would sing it to them all the time. BFF's mom found this tee at Threadless and got matching adult and kid ones for BB and me, though his just now fits (unfortunately, due to a depressing failure to lose pregnancy weight, even after 3.5 years, mine still doesn't fit)

B was not cooperating with the style shot, but this is a little shot of B in motion. A friend just gave us this OshKosh flannel shirt. OshKosh has a nice line of really classic boy clothes, besides overalls they seem to have great shirts and tees. I have featured these pants before as well, they were a hand-me-down, and we love them, but we have a little trouble with fit. They have always been too big in the waist and so they fall down....now they finally fit in the waist, but they are too short....sigh....B is getting sooooooo big.....The other day I called him baby and he said:
"Mommy, why did you call me baby? I'm not a baby."
and I responded with what every Mommy always says when faced with that question:
"You'll always be my Baby."

January 14, 2010

In case you haven't noticed, BB's wardrobe has been developing a decidedly super-hero-esque theme. So don't be fooled, this shirt, though it may appear to be two helicopters, is actually the site of a fierce battle between Spiderman and his arch-nemesis, the Green Goblin.

January 12, 2010

I like this outfit...I picked it out and B, amazingly, wore it without complaint, in spite of the noted lack of superhero imagery. The shirt is from Ralph Lauren, though I have no idea where I got it from, I don't know the sources for the rest of it, as it is all hand-me-downs.

January 7, 2010

B picked out this outfit himself. So funny story, someone gave us these green NIKE pants and they just weren't my style so I put them in the give-away bag, however I left my husband and B in charge of getting the giveaway bag to the thrift store and when they saw these pants they thought I must have made a mistake and pulled them out. I guess they are BB and his Dad's style....Sigh, oh well.

January 5, 2010

This Spiderman tee was a christmas gift from BB's Aunt (via H&M). In fact we had a Spiderman themed Christmas, as this gift was in a pile that included spiderman sheets, a dancing, singing spiderman, a few spiderman action figures, spiderman hat and gloves, spiderman activity book and crayon set....I think that was it....good that everybody knows what B likes!

Back to School-January 4, 2010

This was BB's first school outfit of 2010. I thought he should dress up a bit after the holiday. Both the sweater vest and the blue jacket have been featured many times on this blog, but I never get tired of them. (They are both originally from the Gap, though I got them at thrift stores....what does that say about me...that I am classic? or just boring?)

Towel/Cape

This is after bath at our house. BB insists that his towel is actually a cape....so I introduce to you the newest superhero on the scene:
