bean baby alert:: Jacob Ariel!

Look at this sweet picture of cute-as-a-button (and very dapper) Jacob.
Our Bean Babies are all so brilliant - at 6 months old, Jacob's already going to music class with his mum.

portrait of Jade

here's a recent picture of Jade, one beautiful Bean Baby. She has grown so much since she first graced this blog!
I love this portrait style - the monochrome, the cropping, the captured expression.

BABY NAMES circa 2019

I am always intrigued by naming - I love to look up the most popular names of the past. Never thought what future years would bring. Here's a fun post from the DAILY BEAST, where someone has predicted the TOP BABY NAMES OF 2019.

BRETT! Another fabulous Bean

Adorable Brett learned the art of modeling from her big sis Violet, obviously.

BEAN BABY, BEAUTIFUL Eva!

the BLOG is BACK...with Quinn & Jack!

We took a little vacation from blogging, but we are back - beginning with two new special deliveries!

Bean Baby - Hannah

A big Bean welcome to little Hannah! Parents Amy & JJ shot this adorable pic of Hannah dressed in our reversible padded bunting.

Congrats to the new family - can't wait to meet her!

The ULTIMATE Name Website!

BabyNameWizard.com is the online home of Laura Wattenberg, author of the bestselling book The Baby Name Wizard and creator of award-winning tools that have helped the world look at baby names in a whole new way.

Aren't you curious just how many babies were named EDITH in 1949? Or the meaning and origin of the name MELVIN? What's the most popular name in Wisconsin? Don't forget to weigh in with your own opinion! My favorite page is the Voyager - you just have to try it to believe it!

Bean Baby - Violet

Jeanne sent in this pic of little Violet looking gorgeous in our Entertaining Elephants organic cotton dress. As cute as can be, super soft, and now on sale for just $21.60!

BAMBOO for baby

This vegan fabric is a natural for baby clothes for so many reasons. Possessing a property called "Bamboo Kun" it is naturally anti-microbial. Even through processing into fabric and after fifty washes, bamboo fabrics retain their anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-allergenic nature. It wicks moisture away from skin because it is more absorbent than cotton - and it's silky soft on tender skin. Good for the planet too: bamboo takes in five times the volume of greenhouse gasses as an equivalent stand of timber trees and releases 35% more oxygen. It needs no replanting, pesticides or fertilizers, and its roots retain water in the watershed, sustaining riverbanks and reducing water pollution.. We are proud to offer our first products made from bamboo - these sacques from Beba Bean in a selection of uncommly good colors.

New At Bean - Jellycat!

This summer I was upstate visiting some friends, and on a trip to town, my friend Julie bought the most adorable stuffed dog for her niece Violet. Ever since then I've been wanting to get some of these Jellycat stuffed animals for Bean.

Well they're finally here! Each toy is stuffed just enough to be a little floppy and extra soft. We have a bunch of different animals and sizes available - check them out here!

Bean Baby - Piper

Proud parents Brandon and Ann sent us this pic of their newborn, Piper, all bundled up in our organic sherpa bunting. Dad says it keeps her super cozy on walks. And could she look any cuter?

Congrats on the adorable new addition, guys!
