Remember Baby Mugging? Baby Mugging started on Mommy Shorts, made it's way to Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue and last I heard, appeared as a question on Jeopardy.
Now, I'd like to start something new. I'm calling it Baby Suiting (#babysuiting).
Other options were #biznizbabies, #allbusinessbabies, #reallysmallbusinessowners, #tinybankers, #minitycoons, #babywolvesofwallstreet, #robford and my personal favorite #beetlejuicing. My followers on Instagram (@mommyshorts) have been helping me come up with a hashtag all week.
I'm going with #BabySuiting because I'm afraid not everyone would get the Beetlejuice reference. Plus, it's a verb and I like the #babymugging/#babysuiting synergy.
Yes, I just used the word "synergy". About baby suiting.
This is my life now.
Unfortunately, I came up with #BabySuiting after Harlow was already on the move. I thought briefly about trying to conceive another child to use as my go-to photo prop, but decided it would be more efficient to use my newborn nephew Jack.
This is Jack at three months wearing his dad's suit:
But I wasn't finished. Next, I went around to friends' houses who had recently popped out a baby and took photos of them too.
Say hello to Baby Inc.— a powerhouse of mini executives run by Brody, Bea and Lowell.
(Lowell was submitted by my friend Jill from Baby Rabies. Thanks, Jill!)
FYI- I tried to do a woman's suit and Bea wasn't feeling it. I promise, she was fine a second later.
In order to make #BabySuiting happen, I need your participation.
Want to know how to suit your baby?
BABY SUITING INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Grab a button down shirt, suit jacket and tie. Put the shirt inside the jacket, the tie around the collar and lie it on the floor.
2) Grab your baby (I recommend an immobile one) and lie him/her in the suit.
3) Whisper sweet nothings as you fasten the buttons, tie the tie, and carefully arrange the jacket. (It's like a swaddle!)
4) Stand up, take a photo (torso up) and post it on the Mommy Shorts facebook page or tag @mommyshorts and #BabySuiting on Instagram.
I'll post the best of them here and on the @mommyshorts instagram feed.
See you on Kimmel!

Hah! This is fantastic! I wish I had a baby so I could do this…wait wait wait let me take that statement back…I wish I could BORROW a baby temporarily to do this. (My two year old wouldn’t stand for it).
I’m going to try it with my cat. Will update.
I have a baby the right size! So excited. Have to wait for Daddy to come home in his suit then we’re on it! I have a feeling hubs will be disappointed I am tearing his clothes off as soon as he walks through the door in order to photograph the baby in them….
LOVE it! Hilarious. I just posted my little Mercy girl aka businesswoman: http://instagram.com/p/lupTEpwNn9/
Jacob would most likely just put on the suit these days, he does love dress up (My little clothes horse)
but this is adorable!More Please!
Oh yes ma’am, I am getting behind this one!
YES! So glad you’re onto another amazing idea. My boyfriend doesn’t own a single suit… and my child is way more mobile than I’d like him to be, so we may sit this one out.
But on the bright side, it’s his 2nd birthday… maybe I’ll buy him a suit.
Bea?!?! My daughter’s middle name is Bea…not one you see every day – love it!
Buzzfeed tried to make this a thing already, I don’t think they had any luck. Hopefully you can get it rolling. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/new-meme-baby-heading
Oh no! I hadn’t seen that before! Hmmmm….. I’ll consider this a challenge then. Maybe they didn’t have the proper hashtag back in 2012:)
She’s adorable
I hope we can see some girl babies in women’s suits as well 😉
This is because with the continued conversations that you will be having, trust will somehow blossom.
It works because this area of the body is perceived to be the
centre of your being. A host of game sets that include Barbie baking set,
Barbie cooking magic ware sets, Barbie tea set,
Barbie Tyco kitchen game sets are hugely popular.
