babylegs and baby ties…

I have been checking out these onesies from etsy.com seller verykiki they have stripped ties appliqued on them and I think they are way too cute.  Even if they are cute in a dorky kind of way I want one. I was thinking of purchasing one ( I think the orange is my favorite but I like the blue one too) and my mom said why don’t you make one that would be easy (easy for her probably but I think I could manage.) If I make one I will definitely be waiting until after Rocky makes his temporary move to Michigan next week.  I think one of the reasons I think they are so cute is that the show them with these really cute legwarmer things called Babylegs. Babylegs are worn with a onesie instead of pants and can add a little flair.

My mom thought she may try to knot a pair of these but wanted a reference. So she ordered a few pairs for Baby E and we had them sent to her house in hopes that we can investigate together when I am there next weekend.  We ordered the pumpkin color in order to recreate this look.

(as a side note..they also make them with bowties which I think is even more hilarious because the stereo typical architect wear bowties…I crack up about visiting my office with E while on maternity leave and showing up with him wearing a bowtie )

We also ordered the Heron which I think would be adorable with a plain black onesie. These along with he pair my mom is making will hopefully make appearances in the monthly photos we take with the new stickers I purchased earlier in the week.

The thought of a black onesie also beings me to another subject…(and yes I am allowed to jump subjects I am  completely random and after all that is the title of this entire blog.)

So a black onesie.  There is the series of books that was started with one book titled Urban Babies Wear Black.  I think it is about them wearing black and living in the city HOWEVER I have not actually read the book yet.  I hear it is sold on Amazon and here in Atlanta at the MOMA store.  Anyway…i so think Elliot needs this book.  He is an “urban baby” after all.  He will live in the middle of Midtown Atlanta and wouldn’t really ever have to get in the car.  He has a fabulous BLACK and grey stroller to explore the city in. We can walk to work, shopping, get groceries, the movies and *hopefully* even daycare.  In my opinion he is a true urban baby   who will be wearing black and reading fabulous books.

Books…(I think this is my third subject for this post.)  My Aunts and a few friends are hosting a shower for us next weekend in Michigan.  My Aunt Marianne made these cute little invitations and inside put a cute poem.

Amber’s due date is coming near,

we’re inviting friends and family dear.

to choose a favorite story or fairy tale, that you would like Baby Elliot to hear.

Instead of a card, please let Amber & James look,

at your special choice of a book.  Then to Elliot they will read,

with all the love that he will need.

So please select a new or recycled book, and into it then your name do put.

I think this is so cute and I can’t wait until I get to see the books that people choose.
