Ode to the Red Pants

These were a hand me down from BFF, and we wear them, ALOT!

Getting Ready for Summer

I love these giraffe print sunglasses, so does B.

It's all in the details.

I think I spend far too much time thinking about my child's dress. Perhaps there are better things I could be doing with my time?
Here is the whole outfit (the top is another pajama top from Old Navy):

Rainy Day Outfit

Orange Hat

Another old pic, but I did so love this big floppy baby sun hat on Baby Boy. He won't wear hats anymore, but what a cutie, asleep from a day in the sun.

New Rainboots

Here is B, walking through the grass in his new bright yellow rainboots, from Vincent. I bought them from a cute new store in Williamsburg called Smoochie Baby. The owner doesn't have her website up yet, but it is on Barry, around No. 5th. Check it out if you are in the area!

Jolly Little Fellow

Sometimes I forget what a chubby baby B was, he's such a thin little boy, but then I run across such cute proof, wearing his purple pants and Hunter S. Thompson cap even. I loved that sweater, a Target find, and the Robeez shoes too.

Fashion Model Shot

This is from early fall, but I haven't caught up on all my pictures since the holidays! However, JW you wanted a new pic, so here it is.....PS The awesome stripey sweater is a vintage french number from yet another thrift store.

El Camino Tee, and other forgotten posts

I can't believe I never posted a pic of Baby Boy in his El Camino Tee! I loved this shirt, he wore it like every other day, and this is the best pic I can find! Other forgotten outfits....his old man tourist ensemble and a cute plaid shirt that was a hand-me-down.


P.S. Look how much Baby Boy has grown....I really should remember to write more stuff down...Lately he has been singing songs, his favorites are Jingle Bells, Old MacDonald, and recently, Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Octopus Tee from Tea

Baby Boy is standing outside of Lynn's Paradise Cafe in Louisville, KY. I used to work here, now we usually go eat there when we are home. The shirt is from Tea, and was a birthday gift. The jeans were from Old Navy.

Young Americans

This tee is from Pluto. Are they referring to the David Bowie song or the nationality of the intended wearer?

Follow-up: The Slits

I can't believe I didn't remember who this band was......early punk, British, opened for "The Clash" , drummer who later joined "Siouxsie & the Banshees".......guess I'm just not cool enough, (well at least my kid is, he is the one wearing the shirt after all!) Anyway, here is the Wikipedia entry.

Do we look alike?

I know this is sort of vain and self-involved, to post pictures of myself and BB and obsess over how we look alike, but isn't that part of why we have children? To see ourselves continue in the younger generation? Anyway, I don't usually notice that Baby Boy and I look alike, because he looks so much like his Daddy, until I see pictures of us together.

Who are "The Slits"?

...and is it wrong to put my wee son in a tee bearing the rather inappropriate name of a band I don't even know?

I swear he put himself in the cage!

This is what Baby Boy wore for Christmas at my Dad's family's. The shirt is from Zara, but I found it at a thrift store. I didn't even know they sold kid's clothes, I don't remember ever seeing any...are they only available in Europe maybe?

This is what Baby Boy wore for Christmas at my Mom's. (He lost his pants early in the evening, so this is the best pic I can find.) Love those babylegs!

Lost Chicken Tee

I have no idea where this tee went and I don't remember the brand name. Baby Boy and I both loved it, all summer long he was going through a chicken phase, so this was the perfect shirt.

BB and his BFF

We spent this weekend visiting with old friends....and it was so lovely. Baby Boy and I spent most of his first year watching my best friend's son, who is only 2 months younger than him. Now the 2 boys have such a beautiful relationship, even though they seem to be almost exact opposites in terms of temperament. We were at a party on Saturday and as it got later we let the boys watch a movie, and they sat together with BB's head resting on BFF's shoulder. It made me nostalgic for that year, so here are some commemorative pictures. (Don't the boys seem to be whispering to each other? As quick and mischievous as they were, I always suspected that they were communicating via some ancient baby tongue.)

Rainboots

I love these boots, and yet we seem to have lost one....so sad.

Daddy's Shoes

I hope that one day Baby Boy outstrips both of us, but right now those are some big shoes to fill.

Ode to my parents

Baby Boy's grandparents bought him this outfit. Currently the triceratops tee is BB's most requested item of clothing. So this pic is for you Mom; B really does wear everything you give him. (I love this shirt too, so boyish.)
