Southern Baby Boys . . .

Look different in their Sunday best than baby boys on the west coast.  Kaden, being a hybrid of two cultures, can rock both looks--a sweater vest and tie is his nod to his North West roots, while a smocked John-John is his way of embracing our current ties to the South.  Honestly, I love both styles, even though I know not everyone feels the same way (I do, however, draw the line somewhere.  The puffy pants are an absolute no).  Sadly, Chad (who claims I am more Southern than he is, despite the state of my birth) has deemed that this is Kaden's last John-John.  We shall see . . .



















I wanted to get some portraits of Kaden in quintessential Southern dress, so we stopped on our last road trip to Kinston and snapped these of him in some wild flowers that were growing along the freeway.  Yes, wildflowers like this grow along the freeways where I live.  It's a rough life, but somebody's got to live it.

What do you think about baby boys' dress clothes?  What should a baby boy wear when he needs to look his most handsome?

  3. My little boy wore those up until about age 2. I love him in them! I think he was even blessed in one that looks just like the one your little boy is in! So cute. I would love to live in the south for awhile, just to experience it. My parents served their mission in Franklin/Ashville area.

  5. I, too, love the John Johns and Nolan sported one just a couple of Sundays ago. I do have to say that Kyle wore one the Sunday we blessed Nolan at age 2.5 and looking back at the pics I think he looks a little too big for that style :). He is a tall boy though. I have one Christmas-y colored one that I'm hoping Bear will fit into at 2.5 this Christmas and that will be his last. I just can't resist!
