Funny Shirts

Great tongue in cheek slogans have increased in popularity for children. They can range from cutesy sayings to more off color humor. Depending on the parent there are an endless number of available options to show off your child’s personality. When you are looking at the different slogans try to find one that compliments the appearance of your child in color and cut, this will help to make it look better on them.

Denim

Right now denim is hot and for baby boys this addition to their wardrobe is a must! Huggies has recognized this trend and has created a line of diapers that look like they are little denim jeans.

In addition Gap and other companies have added new lines of denim products that can dress your child from head to toe in the fabric. When you are looking at each product make sure they can handle wear and that the wash used on the more designer brands is safe for your child to wear.

Rock ‘N Roll

Some parents love their rock bands and clothing their children with band and rock shirts from their favorite artists helps to increase a bond. Many big name bands have recognized this and have offered children’s shirts and outfits for your children as well. If you don’t pick them up at the concert many bands offer these products on their websites and through authorized dealers. Take some time to find the perfect shirt and let them rock out. Some vintage band shirts are now available for your baby boy as well!

From Britney Spears to Kate Hudson celebrity moms love this designers clothing to dress their little ones in.

Unique Outfits

If you want your baby to have the most unique outfit available you can choose to go with an actual outfit designer like www.HannaAndersson.com/baby or you can make your own baby clothes. By finding fabrics you like from a fabric retailer you can begin to design clothing for your own little one and make sure their outfit is nothing like the others in the neighborhood. This is also good practice if you have an interest in fashion design or sewing. This is just another way you can give something to that little one you love, and save some money at the same time!

Keep in mind that any outfit you decide for your baby boy should remain unique to them. If at all possible give them their own little wardrobe that isn’t full of hand me downs from older siblings, although thrift store shopping is fine! Just make sure you wash the boy clothing before putting it on your little angel.

Looking Closer at Baby Socks

If you are like most parents, you don’t give a lot of thought to minor details about your baby’s day. You may enjoy shopping for clothing and dressing up your little guy. It’s even possible that you obsessively track your baby’s weight gain and eating habits. However, few parents give extensive consideration to what is covering their baby’s toes. Baby socks can be a fun part of your little one’s wardrobe. There are plenty of fun options to add interest to this basic item of baby clothing.

Tiny Tenderness

One of the most enjoyable parts of dressing your baby is how tiny everything is. Baby socks are probably the epitome of this cute factor. A newborn sock is just a few inches long, providing an adorable visual picture of how sweet and precious your baby is. As your baby grows, so will his little feet. Those first few baby socks are a keepsake to treasure.

As your baby grows, you will notice that versatility and style are a concern. There are many different types of baby socks. Many babies don’t like the heavy feeling of a full shoe, so socks provide the perfect substitution. Luckily, styles and colors abound.

Booties- Baby booties are still a best-selling type of baby socks. Booties are a cross between a sock and a shoe, providing a soft covering for baby’s feet. Look for features that allow the bootie to be securely tied to the baby’s ankle so they can’t kick it off.

Johnny Socks: Some parents aren’t thrilled with the traditional and old-fashioned look of standard booties, especially for baby boys. For this reason, baby socks that look like shoes are growing in popularity. These sweet and somewhat comical baby socks may look like a sneaker or other type of shoe. It’s common for these baby socks to have non-slip bottoms, allowing baby to move around as mobility is developed.

Celebrity Baby Zuma Rossdale Rocks it in Baby Leg Warmers

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Take The Kids to an Easter Party!Some kids have all the luck right? Rockstar parents, cute siblings, awesome clothes… what a life celebrity babies have! Well, even if you are no celebrity like baby Rossdale (Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani’s child), at least your baby boy can dress up like one.

Baby legwarmers or baby knee protectors are one of the greatest kid inventions of all time, ok maybe not of  ‘all time’ but they really are great for crawling babies. You never have to watch your child drag his sweet baby knees across hard tile, rough concrete, or pokey playground tanbark again. Baby Legwarmers protect babies knees from all sorts of elements… including wind and chilly weather.

My son actually used to love wearing these on his arms. I would just bring a pair of these with me in my purse and out we would go… if the weather got a tad chilly, he would throw them on, and sometimes on both his arms and legs. They are super stretchy and come in tons of different styles and fabrics. My 11 year cousin loves them on her arms as well… so much so that she ‘borrowed’ my son’s!

Check out a variety of baby leg warmers at Babysnazz or your local stylish baby shop as these bad boys are sold all over now. Did I mention these make the most awesome baby gift ever? Super affordable, extremely practical, and makes a happy parent.

Make Your Own Knitted Baby Booties

When you are a new mom, one of the best gifts to receive (besides time) are items that are homemade- whether that means cooking, gifts, or clothing, it always seems to leave a very favorable impression. What could be more special for your brand new baby than having them all dressed up in a handmade pair of booties, a sweater, or wrapped up in a sweet blanket that has been specially knitted by yourself, a friend or a family member.

The art of Knitting is not as difficult as you might think, and it will be a fun hobby you can master while your little one is growing inside you, and you might just find that it will be a great stress reliever to engage in once the baby has arrived. Its a quick trick to pick up and with your newly founded skills you can create some amazing baby gifts, including super sweet baby shoes or booties to cover babies wee little toes when they are exposed to the world. Plus when you create them yourself, you can choose the color, the style, the material, and more, plus your effort and love will literally be sewn into every stitch of the booties themselves.

I am quite sure that you will find knitting to be one of the easiest crafts to learn, even for total beginners never holding a pair of knitting needles before. After a bit of practice it will take just a few hours to create super sweet baby booties, and a few days to create a baby blanket. Think of the money you will save as well creating your own blankets, clothing, and such.

This hobby is great to partake in with other family members as well so you can grow and develop your skills. Just think about when your best friend has a baby and can present her with a pair of baby booties you knitted yourself- as a parent yourself I am sure you know how much this means! Once you have honed your knitting skills you can learn to create more elaborate designs and creations and if you really enjoy the hobby, you can sell your pieces and earn a bit of extra cash or donate your items to babies and families in need, even more of a special gift.

Stylish and Functional Baby Jeans for Little Boys

Gap Baby Dark Wash Dark Selvage JeansMothers of little girls constantly hear about how cute and appealing baby girls are. They are adorable, get a lot of attention in public and can be dressed up in frilly and cute clothing. As a mom of a little boy, however, that can often leave you feeling a bit frustrated.

Of course boys are different, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as joyous. In fact, dressing little boys can be just as fun, in a different way. Dressing your little boy provides a mom with more options than you might expect. Baby jeans are the cornerstone of a boy’s wardrobe, providing durable and stylish clothing for your little man. There are many choices and options to look at when shopping for baby boy clothes.

Features Matter

While maintaining the same general style that jeans have always had, baby jeans have features that make them specifically adapted to little guys. These features will largely depend on the age of your little boy. For example, when shopping for an infant, expect to see baby jeans with snaps that allow the inseam to be opened for easy changing. This can be a handy feature. However, many moms find it just as easy to pull down the baby jeans. For this reason, almost all toddler and baby jeans feature an elastic waist. While the authentic look of a snap and zipper fly may be appealing, full-functioning baby jeans such as this can be cumbersome. You can have the best of both worlds by selecting baby jeans with elastic waists and the appearance of a zipper fly.

Durability Factors

Whenever you are dealing with baby jeans, you will be looking for different things depending on the age and ability of your little man. Newborn boys will not need materials that can withstand use and abuse. In fact, it doesn’t make sense to spend extra on these features when your baby boy will grow out of the baby jeans so quickly. However, babies that can crawl greatly benefit from knee reinforcing on their baby jeans. Toddlers are also extremely hard on their clothing and spending more makes sense.

Styles and Trends

This is probably the area where there are the most misconceptions about dressing a little boy. Frankly, despite what moms of the sugar and spice variety claim, there is actually more options and flexibility in dressing a baby boy. When you look at a basic wardrobe item like baby jeans, for example, there are dozens of styles to choose from. Baby jeans are available in classic styles, cargo looks and even follow modern trends, featuring grunge or distressed components. Embellishments like studs and snaps are available, as well as additional features, such as screen printing. Frankly, with girls, parents tend to steer away from these features, as it is too gender neutral and can cause girls to be mistaken for little boys.

What About Brand?

Of course, any parent is aware of brand. With your baby, they are completely oblivious to what label in on their baby jeans. Most parents, however, favor certain brands for the quality factor. Brands such as Baby Gap, Old Navy and The Children’s Place are popular lines of baby jeans. These feature some of the latest trends. However, department store brands can also be a good choice. These options generally have more basic options, are less expensive and feature lower quality materials and construction. Most parents purchase baby jeans in a variety of brands. This is a great approach. It’s also possible to favor name brands, shopping sales to find discounts and clearance items. Applying this strategy can make these higher-quality baby jeans more affordable than even department store brands.
