LITTLE INFO: Meet Bodhi  Park, the little guy who belongs to Aaron and Chelsea Park. You might recognize him from Instagram fame; he’s been on a lot of shoots already for his dad’s company, Arch Apparel. And he’s only 10 months old! 

LITTLE LOOK: “Bodhi is wearing the 'Born and Raised' onesie from Arch Apparel. It's layered with a denim jacket from Nordstrom Rack and jeans with a slouch beanie,” says Dad who recently launched this style despite being born and raised himself in Australia! When he’s not “repping the brand,” Bodhi has quite the fashion sense on his own. Dad says, “For a more casual style, he wears neutral colors typically paired with a bandana-style bib with athletic joggers and high-top shoes. For a more street-modern feel, he rocks baby skinny jeans or khaki/black joggers and a slouch beanie.” Got that guys? We need more baby skinny jeans!! Bohdi finds his styles at ZARA Baby, Monica and Andy, Spearmint Love, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack and Target. Dad adds, “Modern Tribe is a really cool local, online store. We've also found some fun toys and outfits at City Sprouts.” 

LITTLE LOVES: This cutie loves to laugh. “A person can walk in the room, look at him and he will smile and laugh (true fact: he did this on our photoshoot!). There hasn't been a person he doesn't like,” Dad says. Bodhi also likes to explore. “He likes finding anything small and circular to fiddle with. For example, he would rather inspect the hardware of a toy and the battery compartment of it. He also loves Alexa. He lights up and laughs hysterically when 'she' plays music.”  

LITTLE LIT: Alexa might be the reason Halsey, Travis Scott and The Weeknd are Bodhi’s favorite, er we mean Mom and Dad’s favorite music Bodhi likes to listen to. But nothing beats “Baby Shark” and “Wheels on the Bus!” Sounds like Bodhi was paying attention to the book club recommendations by some of our other featured “Littles;” he also loves “Your Baby’s First Word Will be DADA” by Jimmy Fallon. 

LITTLE EXTRA: Christmas was extra special for Bodhi. He got to see his Australian grandparents in the U.S. He hadn’t seen them since they visited St. Louis shortly after he was born. Bodhi’s fine dining tips include pairing oatmeal with  blueberries. Dad says, “He loves being social at brunch spots around St.  Louis. Russell's is a favorite.”
