Gorgeous Baby Boy

Seriously, my son is gorgeous and funny and delightfully boyish.  I couldn't pick just one pic of this outing at the zoo.  The hat is a sun hat of mine I bought probably 10 years ago at Target; the pants are size 2T from the Gap (I think) but I set them aside over the winter and I think my plan of having him wear them as cute little clam diggers is working out; the sleeveless tee is from H & M, they have these great inexpensive 2 packs of tee shirts, one is patterned (usually a cute stripe) and one is solid.  They are $7 for the sleeveless, $9 for the tee, and $12 for the long sleeves.  I had a 20% off coupon when I bought these, so super cheap and super cute.  This outfit is a little short on the original and big on the big-box, but since it is composed of basics (and items I am recycling for a new look) I think it is okay. 

PS The shoes are from See Kai Run, and I got them last summer, and didn't think there was any way they would fit B, but somehow, I think because they are so soft and flexible, they do.

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?

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?)

Fashion Tyranny

This was the first chilly day in September, and I was so excited for Baby Boy to wear this jacket. I had bought it months earlier at the Salvation Army (originally from Gap) and I got out this outfit, but Baby Boy had other ideas in mind. HE pulled out his favorite orange tee, it is from a trip to the Chicago Aquarium and has a fish on the front of it. His father got it for him, but I think it is such a tacky, tacky tourist shirt. However, this was the first time BB had ever requested an item of clothing. Did I rise to the occasion, put my personal style aside, let BB express himself? No, I hid the shirt when he wasn't paying attention, and put on this nice plain black one instead. I have to say, my little repression of his idea took a lot of the enjoyment out of his outfit. However, it was a beautiful day splashing in the puddles with his friend, and since then I have let Baby Boy wear anything he requests, though mostly he is content for me to pick out his clothes (at least for a little while longer.)
