I spend a lot of my days on the floor with Alex and thought I’d share an action shot of him getting ready to take the living room by storm (he is so ready to crawl!). His striped outfit is from Polarn O. Pyret, a incredibly chic Swedish children’s clothing brand that has just started selling in the United States. The folks at Polarn O. Pyret were kind enough to send some clothes for me (or really, Alex) to review. Our thoughts: This is a great brand. The designs are classic, not precious, the cotton is delicious and thick, and the sizing is spot on, unlike many European brands that run really small (I’m talking to you Petite Bateau!). They have also worn well in the wash (not too much shrinkage).
The striped leggings ($35) are Alex’s favorite pants — He likes them because they are comfortable and I like them because they are easy to put on, and are designed beautifully to accommodate a bulky diaper (you’d be surprised how many brands somehow don’t design pants for baby plus a full diaper). He always gets comments from our neighbors in the elevator when he’s sporting these (which is more often than I might like to admit). The long sleeve onesie ($32) is perfect for the colder weather. I’ve also bought these mittens ($6.50) and jeans ($32) and been pleased.
PS: Alex’s baby gym is from Ikea ($25).

alex is so adorable!!!!!!! love his big inquisitive eyes!!!
I agree, he is adorable. And I think he favors you, too. Any time you can find boy clothing that isn’t precious is a good thing. Hurray for clothing without cars or dump trucks.
I love this clothing line. Am so excited to see it making its way to this side of the Atlantic.
What. A. Charmer.
I’ve seen those striped leggings in action, and I can testify that they are the bees knees!
ALEX!!! I am IN LOVE with you!!
Gorgeous in stripes!
OMG the baby boy boxers.
so cute, abbey! it’s always good to hear about clothes that can withstand the baby floor workout!!
What a beautiful animal blanket he’s laying on! Where’s it from?
OH my gosh abbey he’s adorable!
Your son is a dollbaby…so precious!!
oh Alex!!!! XOXOXOX.
What a handsome little sweetie, I’d just love to give him a big squeeze-love the stripies too, my baby’s nearly 3 now and enjoys taking him trousers off and putting his t shirt on his legs instead when he’s supposed to be sleeping!
I am a serious sucker for babies in stripes. Good call, Abbey!
But truthfully, Alex would be beyond adorable even in a brown paper bag. Those cheeks!
I love Polarn o Pyret (or PoP) as we call it here. My older son had a few items from them and his younger brother is wearing them now, and they still look brand new!
I delight in, lead to I found just what I used to be looking for. You have ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
