These have been around for a while. They are for kids that don't walk.
It's a cutsie thing.

Even worse, these are a ripoff product. I believe the original was called Heel-larious.
They are both pretty stupid.
I do like the socks that look like shoes.

I like the socks that look like shoes too. They're kind of cute. I don't remember putting shoes on my kids at all until they started walking.

I put "shoes" on my kids the day I brought them home from the hospital.
Deerskin I believe was the name.
They were basically socks but they were cute.

I had little desert boots for the boys. But they were walking. Before that, they got socks if they were lucky, which they usually pulled off anyway. And when they started walking and wore shoes, within seconds of putting them in their carseats I could hear the sound of velcro ripping and knew the shoes were going on the floor.
Caitlyn wore my cowboy boots. They are really little, size 1.
They were cute.
The boys had "work boots".
I didn't do velcro.
It was laces with the little clips.

They are no worse than that ridiculous head piece. And they were made for pictures. I am amazed at the amount of posed professional pictures today's young moms have done. i have two friends with babies/toddlers. They have professional photos done for every holiday, birthday and milestone age. The kids always have on clothing accessories.

Well, I was going to say that myself but didn't want to be told I was mean. Frankly that little girl is adorable and that outfit is ghastly. When my kids were little I did spring for the hospital pictures but they are very different than they are now. Yes, they were pricey but I always got a few. The picture thing here is wildly out of hand. When you are pregnant you contract with a photographer. You have to do three sets of pregnancy shoots. One for each trimester. And there has to be an inside and outside shoot. Plus you must have alone ones, ones of you and spouse, and then ones of you and spouse and other kids. The photog.rapher comes to the hospital when you are in labor and takes pictures. Then they take "going home" pics. Then when you get home they take "at home" pics. And then one week pictures and then every month after that. And each session has to include some dramatic pictures. You have to do the naked baby thing, the thing with them looking like an Anne Geddy type pose or wrapped in burlap. You have to do one with dad holding the baby on his hand. One with the three of you. One with just siblings. And then ones of the whole family. You have to do all the major holidays too. And these are all professional pictures. When my kids were born I did newborn, one month, three month, six months, nine months, one year, 18 months, and then once a year. Holidays were done by Santa or the Easter bunny at the mall. I don't know how parents can afford these things.

We took our own photos when I was prego. After the boys were born, we had a photo shoot at about 2 months. With a friend of the family who charged $100 for several hours. Then she took some at their first birthday party, for free, and entered one of me holding #2 in a contest and won. Then we had her to one year photos, and she did their 2 year photo as a gift to my mother. Then she moved. Sad. She was really good with the boys.
Snapshots at a bbq, the beach and random photos around the house.

I didn't do the maternity or newborn pics with either of my kids. I mean I took my own pictures but I didn't hire any out. We did family pics when they were about 3 months old and got some baby pictures them too. I did do first birthday pictures for DD1. It was one of those Facebook photographers who does it out of her house. It was $50 and the pictures turned out real cute.
The photographer who did our wedding does all of our family pictures, so it's nice to see her when we do them.
I don't know how people do the hired photos for each month of their kid's first year. Not only is that expensive and time consuming but what the heck do you do with all those pictures?
I call DD and her husband "picture poor". They have a photo shoot with the kids almost every month it seems. Its just a thing now.
I used to post them. I dont anymore. I just dont feel as comfortable as I used to.

We did one professional photo shoot with Bunny. Our friend who took our wedding photos offered to do it for free, so we all met in downtown one afternoon. We bought him lunch and gave him some money anyway.
The pictures turned out great. We had them at Bunny's maximum baby squishiness, but after he was able to sit up on his own.
All the other pictures we took ourselves, even the newborn ones.
Well how else can you make your friends feel inadequate on social media if you don't constantly post professional pics of how perfect your family is? I really feel like that's a huge part of it these days. We are so image focused - Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat whores, all of us - that unles we can post images of our perfect lives, we start to worry that we aren't perfect.
And O4 I am NOT talking about your DD. She is, I am sure, just a lovely woman who loves her family and likes the pics.

A lot of young married couples now grew up with social media and posting the perfect picture of whatever is how they exist in the world. From their dinner to their cat to their family, if they can't find a perfect picture to post of it, they panic.

I don't like shoes on babies at all until they can walk.
And I agree with NJN - that entire outfit in the OP is freaking hideous. The star of the pic should be the beautiful baby, not the outfit and it's accessories.

Well, I don't know who came up with the jail stripes and pink bows but they don't go together. And that bow/hat thing? Not only does it not match but it's ugly. I like small bows. I don't like seeing a baby and all you see is bow. A cute headband or small bow is adorable. When the bow is bigger than the actual head not so much.
