  Cute Crochet Wear for Baby Portraits     Welcome the baby with warm hugs and kisses and cherish the memory with a surprising portrait picture. Dressing up the baby for that memorable forever-portrait is not a simple thing. Some portrait studios offer their collections for boys and girls...yet, if you have that creative edge or got a girl friend who can make one for your newborn, then search the web for tons of ideas. Usually these portrait pictures recommend Crochet materials...or Woollen knits can replace a few. Not so time taking to knit on as they are tiny and it need not be a full dress...just choose a bottom and a small hair band with a corset kinda top for a cute look for girls. For boys, there is always a simpler pattern as shown in the photograph. Based on how much you are spending for the portrait, they suggest poses and angles...some show only the baby's face..you can just buy a head band or a cap...if you are opting for a full portrait, then buy a skirt or a bottom too...sometimes even cute crochet socks kinda shoes !     Crochets come in the brightest of the colors to the most sober Pastels...the photographer has to be creative enough, with a suitable background for a wonderful output. A pre-portrait discussion with the photographer will make it easier to know which colors of clothes to buy for the baby..and if its a family portrait, you will be glad to met him/her to make life easy that day, else your portrait will go for a toss because you will be fussy with running here and there for matching the family clothes that day and getting upset if things dont go well. Most parents dont take New born portraits seriously, but trust me...they are worth it...your baby won't be the cutest, later..spend smartly..ask for what you want in the picture and get it done. Referrals are the best in this matter...A great portrait photographer whom your friend suggested might be really good ! They might have small baskets, swings hanging from artificial indoor trees, a huge egg that cradles a baby...all these props will make the portrait cuter with the cutest cuddlesome baby in it!! ..Pratyusha

  Fashion Tips for Trendy Kids-1 Choose tshirts that have interesting and catchy statements. Let aside the tshirt that is just as simple as possible, in a color that is pale but a statement it carries, if interesting then your child is going to be noticed in a big group of other kids...make sure the print is in a bold, dark color..inorder to be visible clearly. Most tshirts carry prints in silver, gold which are not clear for visibility. Captions are interesting to be read, many of us read others tshirts...those little lines on kids' tshirts are so cute and funny too !!   Choose dresses with interesting and trending patterns or colors. Some designs become so famous among Moms and other fashionistas, like the Chevron of the recent times and few colors such as neon hues from the recent months. Some fabrics are also famous at a time, you buy dresses made of those fabrics after they are gone, they become boring, instead catchup on current fashion trends...your child and you will be a talk of fashion among other Moms for sure !     Choose jackets, boleros, cardigans for the little girls and leather jackets for the boys, they create a fashion statement so stylish..on the other hand, they can be worn on different dresses, during different seasons of the year. However, make sure to decide cleverly on the sizes, as kids keep growing, their dresses tend to be tighter soon after few uses. Dressing similar to your child makes a grand statement and a feeling of dearness about the family...it is a good idea..dont go with few opinions that dressing similar might be boring or funny...it is not ! Mom, Dad and the kids dress up in similar shades gives a good feeling to others about the love among the family members...means, the kids listen to parents, instead of having different opinions on dressing up, that the children are not rude to the parents, and that they like following their parents ideas. Kids look so stylish and cute in good dresses...you dont want them to look shabby even when you take them for groceries with you. May you have fashionable and happy kids !!!   - Prathyusha

But when it comes to traditional wear, even boys have quite some good models of kurta pyjamas, dhotis, simple shirts and trousers to flaunt. Parents can explore good stores that market kids clothing and get the boys ready for post-Dassera Daandiya nights or for the coming up Diwali. Well, parents can never buy one piece and keep it for years with kids clothing as the sizes change and these little ones grow up so fast. Hence, spending moderately based on the occasion they need the dresses for is a smart way. Pairing up the kurta pyjamas or Dhoti Kurtas with very cute Mojaris will be the perfect look. For the toddlers, bring in Mom's wide neck chain with a large pendant and a Kadi for the arm will finish the attire. However, this is only for a picture or two, those little guys will not stay around Mom so safeguarding the jewellery is a must. The older guys of 7-8 yrs are ready with their own choices...make sure to keep 2-3 pairs of dresses to select from, otherwise your dressup time will be messed up. Those colorful sneakers maynot work out well as the kids grow up, buying shoes or sneakers in 1-2 colors is better as kids narrow down on their color choices as they grow. The festive season has not ended so gear up for all the fun !! --Pratyusha
