Now that BABY MUGGING has officially flown the Mommy Shorts coop and is out there living on its on own, I think it's time we all moved on to something else.
How about some BABIES IN BANANAS?
It's an idea given to me by a facebook fan named Holly Paz awhile back. Thanks, Holly! I even posted about it here but didn't realize its true potential for adorableness until I started experimenting with Harlow.
I mean— does it get any more adorable than a baby in a banana?
It's kind of like a BABE IN A MUG, except instead of a MUG, it's a BANANA.
Do you need me to explain it further?
Okay, fine.
BABY IN A BANANA INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Find your baby.
2) Find a banana.
3) Peel and eat banana until about halfway down.
4) Hold half-eaten banana between your camera and your baby so that it obscures the bottom half of your baby's body making your baby looks like he/she is coming out of the banana peel.
5) Take a picture and post it on the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage or on instagram tagging @mommyshorts and #babyinabanana.
I posted Harlow in a banana on instagram yesterday and I've already got a bunch of fine people jumping on the banana wagon.
Get it? It's like BAND wagon, except instead of BAND, it's BANANA.
Never mind.

Okay- who's got an idea for the next baby photo meme? We gotta stay one step ahead of Kimmel!

Man, now I have to buy some bananas! I wonder if my kids can fit inside an apple…
OMG I love this!!! i can’t wait to try it with my kiddo.
I might try the kitten too.
Baby in banana vs kitten in banana
ugh…I just ate my last banana….how about baby in a regurgitated banana? still counts right?
I hate bananas but I’m totally buying some just because of how cute this is.
Let’s get seasonal. Baby in a beach pail. Baby in an ice cream cone. You’re the creative director. Make it happen!
I don’t have a suggestion, but I just wanted to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed reading some of your posts. I’m not a mother yet, but I really love how your blog captures the joys and difficulties of parenting. Plus, the humor you infuse in your writing makes the posts all the more entertaining to read. I also think you should write a book someday chronicling your parenthood stories/thoughts. If you ever decide to publish a book in the future, I’d totally buy it!!
Nice! But sure do love the babe in a mug!
I like the suggestion above of a Baby in an Ice Cream Cone. I have to go get some bananas and ice cream cones to try this.
No other ideas from me.
Love the ice cream cone idea.
What about a baby in a watermelon! This might take more work, but cut it in half, maybe even do a rugged edge, like those fancy displays at buffets, put baby behind it and VOILA! Baby in a Watermelon. So summery.
LOL now I just gotta find a baby. Boston Terrier in a banana would work right 😉
Ugh. I try so hard to do baby mugging and my daughter will not stand still for it. Now I have to fail at this! If my little angel decides to stand still instead of eating the leftover banana, I will post it!
Ice cream cone… PERFECT!
I love this site! I recently just found it and its my favorite now… love reading it… funny, endearing.. true… makes my morning 🙂 i def will be trying this one lol… excepy my little darling is 3… never sits still… lol
Note to self: buy bananas.
