Cool Childrens Clothes

We are expecting our first child, a boy, any moment now (1 week 2 days overdue here!). I keep fussing with his room, looking at all of his clothes, walking through the mall looking at more clothes, you know just playing the waiting game. I have noticed that all of the little girl clothes are gorgeous, and basically just little versions of grown up clothes. Then, you go to the, depressingly small, boys section and all they have are stupid outfits with fish, monsters, cars, or sports stuff all over them! Also, why don’t they make jeans for infant boys? Seriously, I have found 3 pairs of jeans for boys under 12 months. I only bought one of them because the other ones were $30 a pair!! I can buy ME a pair of jeans for $30, I couldn’t believe it!?!?! Hubby and I aren’t into sports, or having every shirt our son wears declaring something stupid that means nothing. Why is it so hard to dress your little boy like daddy? What is wrong with a pair of jeans, a solid color onesie, and a nice little mock turtleneck collar zip-up? I would LOVE to find a 12 pack of solid color onesies, but alas I have yet to do so…

Does anyone know where you can find a good selection of ‘little man’ clothes at reasonable prices? (I live in the Metro-Detroit area if that helps, but I am into on-line shopping as well) I really am not into the idea of spending $30 on a pair of jeans he will only be able to wear for a couple of months…

Thanks!
Tracey – I totally didn’t take the seasons into account! Thank you for that, *lol*.

Also, when I say ‘jeans’ I mean a denim pant, or at least one the LOOKS denim. And I am FULLY aware that comfort will be the #1 prioity. While we are at home I really won’t care if he is just in a diaper, however I do want some nice things for when we go out, I do not think that is unreasonable!
Oh, and why have a lot of you assumed I am talking about only newborn clothes? I am thinking a few months out here…we have enough newborn stuff, and actually almost NO pants for him as a newborn, who would want elastic on their trying-to-heal-bellybutton?

i totally know what you mean!

my son is 2 1/2 and i remember when i was pregnant with him getting so frustrated with the lack of selection in the boy section. you look across the way and there are racks and racks of adorable little girl clothes! so annoying. it doesnt get better as they get older either.

i do manage to find cute stuff at jc penny’s, target, carter’s, babies r us, old navy, and sometimes at walmart.

ive never had a problem with finding jeans. walmart has the cheapest ones. usually $3-$10 a pair. the most ive spent is $20 on a pair of jeans, that was at a carter’s store.

check out the stores ive mentioned.

im glad you want to actually dress your child and not just let him run around in a onesie or just a diaper all day.
