Just gettin' that outta the way...
Well at the risk of Blinky turning out to be Monsieur Blink (we pretend everything is French in our house, due to the cat), I had to go purchase some baby boy clothes for him to come home from the hospital. Let me tell ya, shopping for a boy is in no way whatsoever as gratifying as it is for a girl. I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but for reals! I'm sure, if I have a boy, anything I put on him will be adorbs...but in the meantime, throw me a bone here!
Wait, let me back up a second. There are tons of awesome cute little preppy things for boys. They come in overalls and plaids and tiny polo shirts and they're perfectly cute. Except they look old to me. Old being 8 to 12 months, ya know. I want mah bebeh to look like a bebeh. Minus the whole baby blue thing. Is that so hard to ask? I know I'm being really picky here so please ignore everything I've just said.
Here's what I bought...
This one's from Target. I like the stars.
And this one's from Carter's. I love the eeeny weeny teeny track jacket.
And in other news, look what magically appeared in the Blink's closet???
The votes were close, my friends! I thought it was going to go to the periwinkle and white combo but at the end, the Gap outfit squeezed through and won. Best part? Huge sale at Gap that day. The tiny unnecessary ballet slippers? $5. Had to have. I also picked up a little white sweater so girly Blink doesn't get chilly. Mom of the year, right here!
So there you have it, the Blink's first outfit...
In other news, have you taken a dip in my baby pool? The water's warm...I think someone peed.

Oh hell seriouly the little girl blink outfit is so cute I swear it makes me want a baby... wait did I say that? Shit your rubbing off on me I better log off now before Mr. Arkansas has a heart-attack.
Love the star onesie - why haven't I seen that in my search for acceptable boys clothes that don't have words on them? Seriously, I don't want my son wearing stuff that says "Got Milk?" or "Mommy's little hotshot".
I vote for stars.
This will be one well dressed babe
Ugh. Todd was trotting around the house calling Maks his "Little Man" in a funny voice and I asked him to stop. It sounded to fem. We're sticking with MAAKSEEEEEM!
LOVE both outfits. Let's have us a baby!
BTW- you're going to come up big in the diaper department. We'll chat tomorrow.
My vote is for the one from Carters with the tiger on it.
Second, the first one needs to be nixed/returned. All those blue stars make it look to much like Cowbows gear, so that's just not going to happen. Yes, it is starting already and yes, you need to teach him/her right from the beginning. :)

PS. What happened to the one that we picked out earlier?
haha Oh ma god I wish you were having fraternal twins so both outfits could be used at once. I love lil beybey track jacket! Everything miniature suits the shan, even track jacks.
Not a fan of that phrase either.
I dig the star onesie, and I am FOR SURE copying your "take two coming-home outfits for baby" idea. I really need to find some shit to dress my own kid in. Panic.
i am so guilty of calling gobbles little man. because he looks and acts like a little old man! a little less so now that the hair's finally coming in.
anyway, my vote is for the star outfit, plenty of time for mini tracksuits in the fall, blinky's gotta be comfy coming home!
The sweatsuit is adorable. Little clothes just slay me. I don't know why I'm so amused by them.
And, the girl outfit??? LOVE.
I'm not sure how I got here (story of my life) but your love your blog!! While I was at work (I mean at home on a personal day) I was able read from the beginning-love your style! A great good luck with the new baby!
Best,
Amy in Ithaca, NY
Clearly I have mad proofreading skillz.... "I" love your blog....
Amy, still in Ithaca.
That tiny track jacket is ridiculously cute!
I have trouble finding baby boy clothes that don't have dogs, trucks or sports equipment on them.
this is totally how you should take Blinky's monthly photos
