iBaby

I'm a huge fan of the iPod, and this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen: a onesie with an iPod scroll wheel iron-on, from ipopmybaby.com.

I have not ordered one because they're not cheap; you can buy a ten-pack of onesies at Babies-R-Expensive™ for the price of one iPod onesie ($15.95). And what's nice about the cheapo ones is that you can throw them away when they get covered in poop from a leaky diaper. (Note to new parents: keep scissors handy so you don't have to pull a poopy onesie off over your baby's head. Just cut it off. Trust me). Plus the cheapo ones make great butt wipes in a pinch--no pun intended.

Still, this onesie makes me wish babies were like iPods sometimes. I wish you could plug them into your PC and upload your favorite songs. It would be really cool if, for example, when he got hungry he belted out Hunger Strike from Temple of the Dog, or when he got tired he sang himself to sleep with KC and the Sunshine Band's Get Down Tonight. I'd be like, "Hey cool, he's hungry! I haven't heard this song in, like, forever!" And it would be really awesome if he had volume control. Like, totally.

My son is not an iPod, of course, but like the iPod he is a marvel of design. And every sound he makes is music to my ears. Try and top that, Steve Jobs.
