Visiting the Milk And Bookies Second Annual Story Time Celebration in Los Angeles on Sunday, Ashlee Simpson brought along her bundle of joy, Bronx Mowgli, whose adorable face is living up to his equally adorable name. Sure, Ashlee (and now-ex Pete Wentz) may have initially received flack for coming up with such an "unusual" name for their kid, but the little tater tot looks like he's owning that ish like a superstar. From the looks of it, widdle Bronx got his blond curls from his Mama (although the jury's out on who gave him those apple-red chipmunk cheeks, which are definitely begging for a soft pinch).

Ashlee and Bronx showed up at the event alongside other proud parents Jack Black and Maya Rudolph, all in attendance in support for Milk and Bookies, a program that promotes reading and community work, and allows kids to select and donate books to those less fortunate.

And if a recent photo of Bronx with his daddy is any indication, the little dude's got quite the array of sweaters to choose from. Sorry, Bill Cosby!

Pete Wentz, we've been trying to be nice for the past month or so after we first saw you out and about with that fro you've been rocking on your head. And when we spotted you with Bronx Mowgli last week, we still kept mum about your hair because we didn't want to be inappropriate with children around. But now that the emo-fro is gone and you posted this pic on your blog with the caption, "Tame the mane," we can finally say "Hallelujah!" It's been tamed indeed.

Pete, sometimes afros are best left to the professionals. We're not saying you looked bad with your fro, but we're just saying you look so good with this shorter hair. It's like, sophisticated and dapper. It says, "Yes, I may play in a rock band, but I also play a big role in managing my stock portfolio." Versatility, bro. Ladies love it.

Actually, could that be what prompted the big chop? We know you and Ashlee Simpson are divorcing, and we were sad about that, but getting a haircut is basically step numero uno after a breakup. And if that's the case, well played. If not, still well played. You look adorbz.

So that's what happens when the Pete Wentz loses his straightening iron. Or maybe he was just busy attending to Bronx Mowgli, his son with Ashlee Simpson, with who he is now heading to divorce court.

Either way, Pete let his wild, untamely 'fro fly free, casting inhibition to the wind and letting the papz capture who Pete really is at heart: a dedicated father, inked-up heartthrob (he's still cute even with an unruly 'do) and owner of a slightly out-of-control hairstyle that seems to have genetically escaped his son (so far). Bronx is an adorable tot with curly blond locks not unlike those of his Aunt Jessica.

We're loving the expression of precious Bronx's little face, which basically says, "We're doing just fine, but thanks for your concern. I mean, seriously, look at my face. Could I be any cuter?"

Apparently, we're not the only ones who think Bronx Mowgli Wentz is in for some serious schoolyard bullying one he hits elementary school. But just how did Pete and Ashlee come up with that unique combination of NYC borough + Disney character?

We're not sure, but our good friends over at Rum and Monkey came up with a handy-dandy generator to help you find YOUR secret emo baby name. Check it out now (Ours were "Staten Island Captain Hook" and "Bedford-Stuyvesant Ali Baba!") and tell us your names in the comments.

Bonus: If you close your eyes and listen really, really hard, you can almost HEAR baby Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale laughing. Or is that Apple Martin?
