Celeb Baby Style: Gwen Stefani & Apollo

Pictured above: My First Tattoo Red Gift Set ($44) | Rockabye Baby No Doubt Lullaby CD  ($17) | Mute Button Pacifier ($7) | Tiny Tunes Big Brother Tee ($26) | Rad Color Wheel Brother Tee ($28)

Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale have done it again - after first son Kingston, and second baby Zuma Nesta, they named the newest member of their rock and roll dynasty Apollo Bowie Flynn! We love Gwen's crazy cool baby names, and we admit, we're a little obsessed with her! How can you not be? She's been a style inspiration for over 20 years, from the early days of No Doubt, all the way through her solo career... and now her career as one of the hottest mamas on the planet!

So where'd they come up with this name, anyway? We have to give them props for creativity, there are barely any other celebs named Apollo. Of course, the American Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno, and Apollonia, the female star of Purple Rain (you know, that crazy 80s movie starring Prince!) Maybe Gwen named him after Apollo Creed from Rocky?
 

 
We're guessing they went with the classical meaning of the name. Apollo is known as the god of light and the sun, truth, poetry, and of course, music! We can't wait to see if any of their boys follow in Gwen and Gavin's musical (or style) footsteps. 

Can't get enough of celeb families?  Find tons of pics of rock & roll parents on our Pinterest board - here's one last one of Gwen with her oldest son Kingston!

 

What's your favorite celeb baby name? Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple? Katie Holmes' daughter Suri? Nicolas Cage's son Kal-el? Kim & Kanye's North West? Let us know which one you think is coolest... and which one is craziest!

Rock Out With Your Rubber Duckie!

Hooded baby towels just crashed the Psychobaby Custom Shop party! We've been wanting to add baby bath towels to our ever-growing roster of cool customized baby gifts for some time, and the time is NOW! We know bath time can be a struggle... but while your lil' one is still little enough to not throw a fit, you should have fun with it, and rock your own personal bath style! Here's a few of our fave types of baths:


The Quantity vs. Quality Bath: 
We're digging this assembly line bath party. Hey, the more the merrier, right?

via funnyachievments.blogspot.com

The Efficient Bath:
Kiddo needs a scrub. Pup needs a scrub. There's only one tub... You guys thinkin' what we're thinkin'?

via dumpaday.com

The Confused Bath:
Well, there's probably worse things that could happen. Probably.

via funmunch.com

The Classic Bath: 
Can't go wrong with a sink bath! That is... until you need a bigger sink.

And possibly the most epic bath of all time (via a very creative mama at Fun At Home With Kids)
- check out this GLOW IN THE DARK bath! This isn't a quickie DIY, but we can't imagine a more memorable bath has ever taken place.

Whatever your bath time style may be, we've got a cozy hooded baby towel for afterwards! Splish splash, Psychobathers!

What's America's Favorite Pastime?

 

Baseball clothing & gifts for babies and kids should be on your mind right now... you need to start 'em young and get those kiddos on the right path before a wayward uncle convinces them to root for the Sox when you're a die-hard Cubs family! We've seen it happen far too often... you might be a dyed in the wool Yankees fan, and then out of nowhere, some "well-meaning" family member takes your little ones to a game at Fenway... we say, STOP THIS MADNESS BEFORE IT STARTS! Our There's No Crying In Baseball One-Piece can be customized in just about any team colors, so your Psychobabies will know from Day 1 which side they're on!
  

 Older kids will get a kick out of having their name on the back of our Baseball Belly Kids Tee , just like a pro player's jersey!

 

 We don't judge, so no matter who you hope takes home the pennant this year, we've got cool personalized baseball gifts for the mini-fans in your fam. Opening day is in a few weeks, so start working on building the kiddo loyalty now! Need to sit this game out? We have a grand-slam baseball pinboard with funny pics, cool crafts & more. Now all you need is some CrackerJack! PLAY BALL!

Quote of the Day: My Kids Have Two Volumes...

Often, the volume level of my three noisy boys makes it feel like I'm at a bad rock concert! Not to mention the increase in volume when a few of their friends are added to the mix (which is fairly regularly!).

On my better days I remind myself of what quiet will someday sound like. Yikes! I don't like the thought of that at all! On my better days I like to call it "Joyous Chaos". Thank goodness that I have a lot of joyously chaotic days! Hey, when all else fails, there is always Advil or vodka!

CHARMING FUN FACT:

In 1986, a swirly whale-shape was temporarily added to the lineup of 'mallows in Lucky Charms... ?? Does anyone remember this? Apparently Lucky the Leprechaun and this whale got trapped in a rainbow, resulting in this multi-colored marshmallow!

Adam, Blake, Shakira and Usher...

Time for another Celebrity Mini Style Match! Don't judge, it's been a long, long, long long long long long and very cold winter, so we've been staying indoors as much as possible, watching a lot of TV... especially our fave singing competition show, The Voice! We got to wondering what the judges from the hit show would choose if they were going to rock some Psychobaby style....

via timeinc.net

Shakira, Shakira! We love her sassy style, and how flippin' cute is her little guy Milan? So adorable... looks like he's following in his Mama's superstar footsteps! Or maybe he'll become a soccer star like his papa.. either way we think these pink picks are perfect for the sassy songstress.

Babe alert! Babe alert! We know... it's cliche but we think Adam Levine's "Sexiest Man Alive" award was totally deserved. We picked total rockstar pieces for this foxy rocker... notice how our Baby Rebel Vest even has a Mom heart tattoo, just like Adam!
