Custom Geek Baby ... OR .. Early Parenting, How to Geek Out Your Kid Right Outta "The Gate"

The other day I was browsing through geek t-shirts, a favorite pastime of mine (Mr. Excitement, that's me). While hitting up some of the only sites I knew my favorite ones, I saw that many of them had baby clothes too. With the advent of Thing Two creating a horizon out of Mamma Horton's belly, I knew I just had to get something for the baby that was uniquely "from Dad". Needless to say I was all geeked out and excited.

I began my browsing. Some were good. Some were not. None of them struck me as "you have to have them" funny. I began to lose hope.

Then like the Grinch, when he realized what he must do in order to save Whooville's Christmas .. okay poor example but it's all I had to represent "inspiration" at this point ... an idea occured to me.

I designed my own phrase instead.
Then by crackey I found me a site to package it and slap it on a onesie for me.

Below is the product of my labor which is nothing compared to the impending labor ahead. I also wish the "other" labor was only gonna cost $15 but a guy can't have his onesie and cheap birthing costs too.

Enjoy.

And look closely for the geeky irony.

On a final note ... why can't we wear clothes like this as adults? I ask you. Seriously.

How freaking convenient is this design? I mean c'mon. You could dress it up by attaching simple legs, perhaps something business casual, right? Slap a clip-on tie for a job interview or wedding here and there. And if you're feeling saucy perhaps throw on a kicky beret for those evenings out at Applebee's with the family.

lol - I dearly love it. She will definitely wear it and have pics taken in it as well. That will positively be one for the baby book.
"Design by Dad" :D

we so can wear them! They make them in adult sizes, you just don't get the convenient snap crotch.

Too Cute, I love it!

You did it! Leave it to you. If you can't find what you're looking for, you go out and create one of your own.

I give you an *A* for your creativity and your "I'd rather do it myself" attitude.
