If Babies Could Talk: “Dress to Express” Wear

Babies are born with an undeniable cute factor and a personality that’s all their own. So, it stands to reason that the adults around them adopt a dress to express fashion sense for the little bundles of joy.

A Onesie is the ultimate baby or toddler wardrobe staple – comfortable for them to wear and perfectly accessible for mom or dad when it comes to checking or changing the diaper. The snap crotch means the Onesie won’t be riding up to expose the midriff or belly. Ideal for layering, it works well in all seasons and can be worn when out and about or just lying around the house. Even before your baby has arrived, you need to have a stack of Onesies ready in anticipation; that’s how essential they are.

But practical doesn’t have to mean be boring. Or dull. Or even lacking in humor or glamour. In fact, the opposite can easily apply. You can bring out baby’s sassy or loveable nature, make jokes, or impart wisdom, and give a whole new meaning to the words baby talk.

Consider these snap-fastening t-shirts a blank canvas. You can give your baby boy or girl a voice in the world – even if it is to say, No Hablo – with a personalized Onesie. Does baby already have a questionable past? I just did nine months on the inside. Maybe baby is all about the future, I am a Jedi like my father before me.

Remember the movie, Look Who’s Talking, released back in 1989, starring John Travolta and Kirstie Alley, with Bruce Willis voicing the thoughts of baby “Mikey”? Mikey was quick to give his opinions on all manner of things, many of which were made more hilarious to hear coming from a baby. Now, imagine those words on baby’s Onesie.

You could always take a leaf or two out of baby Stewie Griffin’s book. A main character in the animated television show, Family Guy, he certainly isn’t frightened to have opinions; some laughable, and others entirely cringe-worthy. Here are some choice quotes from the one-year-old himself:

“What do you say to that broccoli? Stop mocking me!”

“Victory is mine.”

“Where did you graduate again, university of duhhhh?”

“Lois, Lois, Lois, Lois, Lois, mom, mom, mom, mommy, mommy, mommy, mama, mama, mama, ma, ma, ma, ma, mom, mom, mom, mom, mommy, mommy, mama, mama, mama …”

Perhaps, you have seen examples of thoughtful sayings when browsing online. Of course, you don’t want to copy anyone else’s style, but rather choose words that express your baby’s inner uniqueness. You could even throw in some pop culture, or retro references to mix it up a bit.

With a bit of screen printing, you can embellish to your heart’s desire:

May the force be with you.

Captain Adorable.

Rock star.

Little Miss Fancy Pants.

Daddy’s Tax Deduction!
