the Wry Baby Blog

Just found out that our New Parents’ Fun Book is featured in the Cravings section of Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine! If you’re looking for a unique baby journal to record baby’s first year, this IS the book for you! We designed it to be a time-capsule snapshot of what you were like as a family during that crazy first year of parenting. The are puzzles, journal pages, paper crafts and even a board game for the parents to play to see who wins the chance to take a nap! Check out some of the pages over here at wrybaby.com.

Looking for information on “Nursing Baby”? We were yesterday and to our delight/horror the first thing that popped up in the Google Image box was our very own Nursing Baby instructions from our book, Safe Baby Handling Tips. Then again, it IS a pretty helpful graphic.

Of course, you can also get this image on a Snapsuit. And you can even get it on sale for just $17 by clicking here.

Oh yes. Although spoiled children are my bread and butter, I offer some simple alternatives to going broke in order to give your kids a fun childhood. If you have access to Charlotte Magazine, check it out. Rachel Sutherland did a great job on this touchy topic. Also, my boy and I are pictured wearing Lucha Libre masks for some reason (see below).

We don’t know if Christina Aguilera uses the Wheel of Responsibility, but the latest issue of InStyle Magazine (October 2009) proves that she’s got one! Not only does she HAVE one, she has it at the ready on her kitchen counter. InStyle did a whole thing on Christina Aguilera’s home (crazy retro cool) and one of our favorite shops in San Francisco, Wishbone, spotted our fun baby shower gift sittin’ pretty on the counter. Thanks ‘Boners! And thanks, Christina!

What’s REALLY weird is that none of our fun stores saw that on the back cover of InStyle’s October issue, Wry Baby Dave makes a guest appearance in the latest D&G ad. It’s like it’s the Wry Baby issue of InStyle! Sexy!

Want a Wheel of Responsibility of your very own? Just $11.95 over at wrybaby.com.

One of my favoritest ever blogs is Lovely Package. It’s a parade of the most beautiful packaging from around the world. Well, Lovely Package featured Mysterio Predicts’ rustic package last week! Mysterio has far been one of my favorite products to create. While the concept is super fun and unique (Mysterio predicts your child’s FUTURE on a t-shirt), my favorite part was making the POP display. It’s a handmade, stained pine crate from a family operation, Poole & Sons in Emmett, Idaho. I love contacting a vendor and telling them I want something really rough and messed up. That the printing should be bad, but legible and if some of the boxes come kind of broken, that’s okay. Any art-types in the crowd can testify that the hardest thing to make is something intentionally bad and  I’m glad Mysterio’s packaging ended up bad enough to make it onto Lovely Package. We’re truly honored!

Mysterio Predicts, Wry Baby’s resident infant mentalist, was featured on cookie.com’s NESTING blog. Thanks to Sarah for giving him some ink! Of course, Mysterio claims he knew you would eventually. He’s kind of a jerk like that. Click here to check out the review.

It being St. Patricks’ Day and all, I thought I’d write about a different kind of green. As in our greener than green organic baby clothes and outfits. The whole darn earth-loving line was spotted as a feature on inhabitots (the green baby blog) and we’re tickled, um, green? It’s a great article and as the esteemed Desmond Williams puts it:

“…you’ve got to see this onesies logo, based on hairy armpits for yourself.”

Ah yes, the classic Living an Organic Lifestyle slays again. For those looking to score a little green of their own for hemp-wallet-friendly price, head over to Wry Baby’s Limited Thingys page to score our Ask Me About My Compost Pile Gift Set for a giant $10 OFF (offer ends March 31)!!

I must have died and drifted off to heaven last night because when I awoke this morning, I saw that not only were our Attack of the 50ft. Baby Stacking Blocks featured on BoingBoing.net, but my illustrations were likened to those of Mad Magazine’s “marginal” genius, Sergio Aragones! OMG. Please send money in lieu of funerary flowers to the Sopp estate, Mooresville, NC.

Of course, our fun blocks are available from your presumably deceased pal, wrybabydave here for $28
