clothes monkey
i'm glad to see some love for the embroidered jesus satin tux, but all you haters will be happy to know i bought something slightly more low key.
i found a lightweight yellow cardigan that buttons on the side with monkeys frolicking across it. what says cool better than monkeys??? give it up, because the answer is, nothing does. monkeys rock. once i found that cardigan (on clearance!), i knew i, i mean, milo had to have it, so i scavenged until i found a yellow and white striped knit bodysuit and monkey-brown pants - with a big pocket on each leg! - to go with it. why does a newborn need pockets with velcro flaps? for cigarettes? credit cards? condoms? who knows. it's damn cute, though. it's all business and then the monkeys say, no, it's all monkey business! we'll ease the grandmothers into skull-n-crossbones onesies over time, like maybe after we get tired of fighting with milo to take those pants off and on him twelve times a day to change diapers.

It sounds adorable. Pictures?
This post is worthless without pictures. :o)
i was too tired to take pictures and then load them on the puter then post them to blogger. but soon, my pretties.
Monkeys are awesome. I second the baby shower idea!! And i am *waiting* for the pictures lady...
O has a sweater with a monkey in the pocket - the only use for pockets in baby clothes I've come across yet! He has some pyjamas with pockets, what's up with that?!
You might find the bodysuits are less attractive on a real live baby. Too many snaps, and the undershirts that end at the waist are better until their umbilical cord comes off.
yeah, the bodysuit is just for pictures and for the five minutes it takes to get home. i've got white tees for "real life"...i got him 0-3 mo size but maybe i should have gotten the 2T size, so he can be all gangsta. he does live in the 'hood, you know.
