Baby Gear Guru

I can’t promise that this is going to be the last post for doggy items either. Dogs are some people’s “babies” you know; you really shouldn’t be so judgmental.

Not to mention that your little one will thank you one day that she got to look over in the backseat and see Benji riding right alongside her instead of seeing the person in the car next door talking on his cell phone.

My little girl will undoubtedly make jokes too about how her dad has the same name as our dog, albeit a shortened version. But the dog came before the man in my case. Pure coincidence. And I can’t change his name halfway through his life. It just wouldn’t be right.

Now don’t get me wrong. War is NOT the answer. I’m a true pacifist. One of the most evil inventions in all of mankind has been the gun.

It just that the army high chair is just so urban that I couldn’t resist giving it prime coverage on the Baby Gear Guru. I promote products for ALL types of families, urban as well as suburban. Except for non-recycling families. That’s where I draw the line.

You pretty much need one in every color. At the barest minimum you need one to go with a black outfit and one for a brown outfit.

You can never have too many diaper bags either, and tell your Baby Father that. If he gives you any trouble, just say that the Baby Gear Guru said so. Start him early on the “because she said so!” reasoning. That way when your child starts using it in a couple of years, he’ll already be broken in. It’ll be old hat.

Not for the lackadaisical kid, the Silver Cross S4 makes a serious statement. It’s a status symbol for your child. A kid who gets moved around in this vehicle will no doubt grow up demanding a BMW or at the very least a Mercedes for his 16th birthday. I wouldn’t even put it up on Baby Gear Guru if it wasn’t so sleek and beautiful-looking.

Beautiful Baby Daddy wants to buy it for when he takes Beautiful Bebe out on a walk. I wonder if he’s a tad uncomfortable pushing our current pink stroller around. It’s okay, I understand where he’s coming from. There now exist his & her baby strollers, and he just wants a man one. Sort of like a man bag. I wouldn’t want him carrying around a purse all day, now would I? And I can’t argue with Beautiful Baby Daddy either, he’s just so darn cute. What he says goes.

I know this book is overused at the same level as Bob Marley’s Legend, a.k.a. enough to make you want to hurt someone at the mere mention of it, but I want to tout its positives for a moment. I’d appreciate it if you’d humor me too.

Goodnight Moon been putting babies to sleep for the past 60 years, including the Baby Gear Guru herself. Also, in 2005 they removed a cigarette from Papa Bunny’s hand so as not to encourage or glamorize smoking to the yout’. Thank god. About time.

Maybe there will actually be a time in the far-off future where smoking will just be a dark spot in our history, kind of like “when that George W. was our president.”

And that’s okay with me. She could be a professional hackey sacker for all I care, as long as she’s happy. I guess you don’t really understand until you have a child yourself that his or her happiness suddenly becomes of the utmost importance and everything else is so secondary.

I once babysat for this little boy who loved to put on his pink ballerina tutu and “cook” in his little Fisher Price kitchen. His mom would just laugh too. Her attitude, which I’ve now adopted, was “hey, whatever floats my kid’s boat.”

If my little girl wants to wear two-toned shoes and bowling shirts, then more power to her. You can find Beautiful Baby’s first bowling set ever at Oompa Toys. What happened to the Loompa I guess we’ll never know.

I think my baby is officially a true California kid. She’s obsessed with her Cosina play gym. Even at that tender age, she knows the value of working on her fitness. It’s so cute because it’s pink and it’s easy to carry. She just can’t get enough of this wooden colorful baby gym. I personally love the fact that she’s improving her hand-eye coordination and grasping skills while having fun at the same time. She’s a multi-tasker, my little one.

I love love love this site. Little Me Dot Com. Look at the little flip flops and baby bikinis! It really doesn’t get any cuter than that.

And those are just for the ladies. The boys have their own thing going on as well, with Hawaiian print swim trunks and frog hoodie cover-up towels for those post-bath times. No baby left behind at this one-stop shop for all things cool and baby. There’s something for everyone. Even the most finicky baby will have to concede this point.
