She is freaking darling.

Oh, the sweet darling! I wish I’d had lavender frames as an option when I was a kid (brown tortiseshell only). I bet the world’s going to make more sense this way. Sending big kisses to the wee one!

Holy cow, she looks like Shy Violet from Rainbow Brite!! Adorable!!

Awww she’s so cute! How are YOU doing with the frames? I had a complete breakdown when my daughter was fitted for her “harness” when she had hip dysplasia. Even though I knew it would help, and it would make things better for her when she got bigger, oh I cried something awful. And then, seems like days later, it was like she had never been with out it.

You know, just in case you are feeling weird about her glasses. Which I just love, btw. :)

She looks like she just KNOWS she’s smarter than you. Adorable.

Okay, back with a dumb question–how the hell do they figure out what kind of glasses to put on a little tyke? I remember a lot of “Which is clearer, this one or this one?” How does that work for the under 24 month set?

Della May 21, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing as Tea. How did that work?

Dude, I think she’s throwin’ down the Abhaya Mudra there — it means protection, peace, and dispelling of fear. Cutest damn Buddha I’ve ever seen.

mr. magoo? no! very sweet. she looks a bit puzzled; maybe because she can see much better? how many seconds before she ripped them off?

Her look is awesome. Like she is totally questioning who you are now that she can see you.

I love the purple. I started with pink then I had red sally jesse glasses.

OH MY GOD she is so adorable.

You wouldn’t mind if I had just a few little nibbles of your baby, would you? Please?

Melanie May 21, 2009 at 7:32 pm

awwww she is looking at the camera like why are you doing this to me!

I dont know if this anwers the question on how they figure out the under 24 month set at the eye doc, but when my daughter went for eye check (at 10 months old) they dilated her eyes and were able to tell me if she was near or farsighted (I forget which she was but they said it was completely normal)….. dont ask me how they could tell that!

She totally looks like she’s thinking intelligent sarcastic thoughts at the camera and the person behind it. :) She’s adorable.

There is also some way they can see how your eyes interpret the images by looking at them with a certain machine. I don’t know enough of the technical info, and I don’t think it’s quite as accurate as you verbally telling them A or B, but it works.

She’s totally Brooklyn hipster chic.

What a doll! I just want to give her a big smooch on those yummy cheeks!

Awwww Simone looks so sweet! I definitely agree with your decision to go with purple not pink, it would have just been too much. She looks positively delicious!

Purple! Bendy! Divine!

Dude she is WAY prettier than the comic book guy on the Simpsons. Way.

Casey May 21, 2009 at 9:00 pm

She is awesome. And I have to say that it’s not the glasses that caught my eye, but the pointing finger as if she is waiting for the right moment to jump in and calmly disabuse you of whatever notion you may have had.

Alexicographer May 21, 2009 at 9:18 pm

I’m with Casey. I think perhaps she’s about to critique your interpretation of Heidegger? She looks lovely, in a “No, because you failed to consider [insert arcane point about German philosopher here]” sort of a way … the best way of all, no?

Reply

Heather B. May 21, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Well if that isn’t a “God, mother!” look if I’ve ever seen one. Though she also looks like she would smack me in the face if I told her that she looks like a cutie patootie sweetie pie face in those glasses and then went in to pinch her cheeks.

Holy crap she’s adorable! Simone could totally kick that kid’s ass from Jerry Maguire – Kick his ass with her fierceness! Work it girl!

Dear Alexa,

How the world found a way to make simone even cuter… I will never know.

beautiful. and purple.

AMomTwoBoys May 21, 2009 at 10:08 pm

YAY! Miraflex, baby! They’re ADORABLE!

My advice, as a seasoned baby glasses wearing professional:

Buy 2 pair. Seriously. And next time you need new lenses, get the transitions coating, so she has some sun protection.

And also? Watch her like a hawk, because as good as my son is at keeping his on, they are NO WHERE to be found right now.

Seriously, get a second pair.

xoxo

So cute, so perfect. I’m thinking of you as you venture through the adventure of infant eyewear…

The cutest thing I’ve ever seen! And I’m loving the Spiderman tee and computer in the background. Freaking adorable.

And I believe the machine measures the curvature of the eye. You know how they use lasers to correct vision? The lasers cut the lense to the correct angle. Or something. Thats what my husband said.

Computer + tee + glasses = adorable. That’s the kind of math you’ll have with a kid that cute.

She looks awesome in those glasses! Her expression is awesome. I’m with AMomTwoBoys in regards to a second pair of glasses. We went for a year with only one pair and I was in constant fear of something happening to them. Now we have two and I’m never going back.

She looks precious, and I totally feel like she is about to crack open some David Sedaris while listening to some jazz.

Simone has broken the cute-ometer – she has shot OFF THE SCALE for cuteness, and has gone into previously unrecorded levels.
I mean, AW!

Look at that munchkin! Sooooo cute! My first thought was that she was trying to bring back Elton John’s look in the 70s, but taking over the world is good too. :)

She is awesome. Love love the glasses, and the shirt – incredible.

OMG she looks just like a professor I once had. Right down to the wise look and the hand gesture. Sure, he may have been a balding middle age man with wire rims, but the resemblance is uncanny :) I have to say, it’s a MUCH better look on an adorable baby. She is hugalicious!
