Where are the cute baby boy clothes?

Where are all of the cute Holiday outfits for boys? Are our little girls the only ones who should have nice clothes? I mean, I'd like to be able to take a picture of my dear son in some sort of nice outfit. I realize that boys have a reputation for being hard on their clothes, but I'd like to think that I can get Alex into an outfit and get a picture in the nick of time before he drools or pukes all over it. Besides, he's only seven months old. He's not quite crawling, so he's not getting into any messes on the floor or ground. I can feed him, let it settle, then change him, then get my picture. I know that he'll get the clothing messy sooner or later. But I'd like the option.

I've been looking for a cute Christmas outfit for him since the end of August or beginning of September. Today I finally found a shirt that will be suitable. (Picture to come later folks!) Of course, if I had shopped online I would have found plenty. But I like to see some things up close and in person because I am terrible about returning things. Hmmm, so is it that no one else in my area has a son they want to dress up for the holidays? Does everyone want their boys in truck and sports tee shirts all of the time?

Don't get me wrong, I have quite the collection of truck and sports tee shirts for Alex and I like them very much. But once in a while I'd like the option of something nicer. I see how cute he is in this basketball tee. Even with the drool all over his clothes it's a great picture. But is it suitable for blowing up into an 8" x 10" photo to frame and hang on the wall? Not really.

Last summer I went to a family function and really wanted a suit to put on the little guy. Do you think I could find one anywhere? Nope. What frustration!

What I am saying is that I want my local stores to carry better looking clothes for the more formal occasions that I will be bringing the little one to. Is that too much to ask for?
