Mike's Blabberings

With a baby boy on the way (due in early June 2010), I decided to start looking for fun stuff for my lil dude. I thought that maybe I’d have to wait a few years to unleash him on the world, but lo and behold there’s some seriously badass gear for infants and toddlers! If I wasn’t excited enough already, now I’m entirely stoked to take on parenting and turn this guy into the coolest kid on the block!

I’m still looking for lots more goodies. I have yet to find the perfect off-road running stroller, and I’m a bit disappointed by the selection of baby snowboards, but I’ve got a few more months to sort it all out.

Here’s some of the clothes and gear I’ve found so far…

Nerdy T-shirts:

Exothermic reaction t-shirt – clevercuties.com

Bibonacci t-shirt – clevercuties.com. The nerd in me cannot resist something this awesome.

Big boys clothes in little man sizes:

Baby track suit – Nordstrom’s. Oh heck yes, he gonna be a soccer playa!

Baby Chuck’s – zappos.com

Outdoor gear:

Full-face helmet – nybikergear.com. This is a prerequisite for the snowboard, dirt bike, skateboard, and baby sky-diving outfit that he’ll be donning after a few months.

Kid in a bag – rei.com. Before he’s able to walk, he’ll be able to tag along on hikes. Throw him in a bag on my back and off we go. They even sell sun visors and other accessories.

Snowsuit – backcountry.com. He’s gonna be the hippest kid on the slopes for sure. Gotta look good, especially considering he’ll almost certainly be the youngest person to ever bust a double cork.
