Brain Squeezers

AKA: Baby Headbands


I know there are vastly differing opinions about baby headbands. Some people are disgusted by them (like the ones who affectionately refer to them as brain squeezers - and, no, I did not come up with this name), while some don't let their little ones leave the house without one. I realize that there are people from my "readership" in both of these categories (I'm sure there are also those in the "I couldn't care less" category). I think that I am placing myself in the undecided category. I've seen some that are cute, and I've seen some that are hideous not so cute.

Poor little Allie has so many cute hair bows, but no hair to put them in! Should I just leave it alone? Or should I try to adorn her empty head with one of these popular and trendy headbands?

Some, I'll readily admit are a little too over the top for my taste. I've tried a few simple ones on little one at home, and just when I was thinking she looked cute, and was almost ready to bravely let her sport one outside of the house, Eric made fun of it. He thinks they look goofy on her bald little head. It's hard to say, since she's just so stinkin' cute no matter what she has on!


After much deliberation, I think I may have found the solution to my dilemma. I have seen these cute hats all over and finally tried one on Allie the other day. I think this looks adorable, and Eric doesn't think it's too goofy! I think we may have a winner!
What are your thoughts?

  1. Aubrey had a hat like that and, at times, I felt like it was a bit over the top but she looked so cute in it, I couldn't resist. I do love headbands tho too = ). Whatever you put that cutie pie of yours in, she looks adorable! The hat is my fav though!
