Baby Boy and his BFF

Well....they'll have to decide about the BFF part, but for now, they hang. They are both wearing their Speesee's onesies. I love this company, they use organic cotton, etc, etc, but they don't look crunchy, or even washed out. Check out their company mission.

Got Mama?

I don't have anything that clever to say about this, only that baby boy's definitely got his mama, wrapped around his finger that is.

The Alligator Tee

I try not to dress Baby Boy in anything with a licsensed character. I only have a limited amount of time to control what he sees, hears, and wears, and I don't want to waste it by pre-subscribing him to consume branding. I do, however, love the alligator on this tee; it seems to have a lot of character.

Flying Baby Boy

That's me with Baby Boy, but look at his cute hat. My mother made this hat, it is supposed to be an acorn, but I love that it looks like some 1920s flying helmet.

Dryclean for a baby?

Baby Boy's daddy bought this shirt, it is made from recycled fabric, and those sleeves are cashmere. The shirt has a dryclean only label, now I ask you, what kind of man buys a dryclean only garment for his son? Apart from the question of chemicals how is this practical? Well I have washed this garment several times with no ill-effects, and I must admit, labeling aside, I do love this shirt. Is the peace sign over the recycled camo too much? Baby Boy is wearing his favorite spring hat with pin-striped pants and his Robeez boots.

Super Bebe

My friend brought this suit back from a trip to France. I love the 1920s bathing suit quality that it has. I hope that Baby Boy is dreaming of being a Super Bebe.

Can purple pants make a boy happy?

I love these purple pants, but even more I love the expression on Baby Boy's face. He wears them well with his Airwalks and white onesie.

Baby Boy in the Grass

There is something so classicaly boyish about a pair of Osh-Kosh overalls. I love Baby Boy in his, and inspite of his pissed-off expression, he was having a great day in the wide outdoors.

Little Redneck

I am from Kentucky, and even though baby boy is being raised a New Yorker, his roots sometimes come out, but just in case my little Redneck should forget who he is, I have clearly labeled him New York.

To Shoe or not to Shoe?

So I was so excited about these shoes that I put them on the moment we left Old Navy. After a block I suddenly discovered we were missing one. We walked back a block or 2 before admitting defeat. As we turned around to sadly go on our way, a man hanging out with a group of people outside a bodega called out to us. He was holding up Baby Boy's shoe. I thanked him profusely and smiled. As we walked away the man called out to us again, telling us that baby's don't need shoes, just put 'em in socks he said. I can't say that I don't agree with him, but Baby Boy does look awful cute in his felt shoes.

Tropical Oasis

His dad picked out this outfit. Even though you can't see it, this collared shirt has crabs on it, which makes it the perfect accessory for baby boy's tacky tropical themed baby gym.

Spring is friggin' awesome.

I love spring and I love babylegs. Baby boy is ready for his first spring. The newsboy hat is from the sale bin at Children's Place and the legwarmers are from babylegs (see above).

Easter

Baby Boy and I don't really celebrate Easter, but I felt like I Should dress him up. Besides I found these seersucker overalls in a pile of hand-me-downs. The newsboy hat is his new spring hat.

My Little Hipster

Yes there is a jacket to go with the pants. I love this outfit, it looks like Baby Boy teleported to the 80's. He's got all the right elements, the adidas jacket, the parachute pants (from Petit Bateau), hoodie (I think it was originally from The Gap), leg warmers (from babylegs.net) and the airwalk slip-on sneakers.

Hanging Out

This is one of Baby Boy's favorite lounging around outfits. The pants are from Adidas (I did NOT buy them, that was all his father!!!) and the onesie is a classic white one from Gerber's.

It tastes better than it looks.

Do you think this is Baby Boy's commentary on the modern military complex? Either way the shoe is from Airwalk, and the hat is from a little store on the upper west side, Karin Alexis.

The Orange Hat

My friend, Val in Kentucky, made this orange hat for Baby Boy. We wore it all winter long and everywhere we went New Yorkers asked me where to get one. Well its one of a kind, and we like it that way. The rest of this outfit are hand-me-downs, but I think the pants are from the Gap and the boots are Robeez.

My Boy, the thug.

I love this wife beater. It says I am New York, and I don't heart it. Baby Boy is wearing it with an orange onesie from Children's Place and Gap Jeans (I think) The wife beater is from City Threads.

URBAN BABY

This outfit was a gift from my mother and came with a great book called, Urban Babies Wear Black.
