BabyBlooze Buck 'up, buttercup! A collection of sad, mad, bad and completely adorable kids

Wow. I can see it now. This little dude is going to pull this effective stern face on his future daughter’s prom date. Geez, I’m not even a guy and I’m already feeling judged.

(Thanks, Connie S! This is one experienced mom; 3 boys - and a baby girl on the way!)

It’s not easy being the cute, new baby in the house — everyone wants a piece of snuggle action!  Big Bro gets left out of the cold, as this baby girl is all cuddled-out.

(Thanks, Jenifer, and congrats on Baby #3!)

Fit to be tied

First Scare-Cut

Hat Trick

While the rest of the family was engrossed in dinner coversation, they didn’t notice the lone piece of lasagna that migrated from the table and onto the entire surface area of the baby’s face. The incredulous look on that sweet face, Mom says, is because she wanted to be cleaned up — but instead Mom ran to get the camera to capture this funny little moment.

Thanks, Tracey F.! Besides parenting her two gorgeous kiddos, Tracey highlights innovative baby products on her blog.

Outstanting grumpiness — Dad Declan who submitted the photo, says his daughter (now 13) has honed her abillity to make even meaner faces for the benefit of her parents.

(Thanks, Declan! Declan’s quite the shutterbug and you can catch his photos and other musings on his blog.)

Born and bred a Californian — still, it looks like it will take more than 3 1/2 months to get acclimated to the water. (Hint: move back to Southern CA).

(Thanks, Alison, and congrats on your little girl!)

Mom got quite the high voltage reaction as she tried to extract a makeshift teether from her son’s mouth. What a shocker!

Her face conveys that she is a bit nonplussed about her going-home outfit… but just wait until she gets home and sees the nursery! Dad Mike (described by his brother as a “big ol’ nerd”) not only picked out the outfit (shocker) but suggested they go old school retro in baby room decor… Behold: 8bit NES-themed baby room complete with Duck Hunt, Mario Bros, and Toadstool characters.

My only thought is WOW — there is a very tolerant and cool wife behind this enthusiastic Dad. I hear she’s also the artist behind all the cool artwork (it’s not like Pottery Barn carries “chic-geek” — not just yet.)

Can’t resist posting some photos of the room. True awesomeness:

(Thanks to Justin V. for the photos!)

Photographer Hillary Gardner found that shooting this lil’ 1-year old with his adorable birthday hat was a little trickier than she thought it would be.

(Thanks, Hillary! Be sure to check out Hillary’s Southern CA location-based work on her web site.)

Could this pout BEE any cuter??

(Thanks, Lil’ Debbie! Debbie’s rockstar newborn has been featured on babyblooze once before.)
