diapers seem too big suddenly

Could this be a sign that DD has lost weight?  I have a big baby (95-97%tile everything) so she has been in size three for a few months.  Suddenly her diapers are gaping and not staying on right.  I've had to deal with several blow outs and now I can tell they are too big around her legs.  She has been crawling and pulling up lately.  So I can only assume she is loosing baby fat.

Should I be concerned?

Are you sure they aren't too small?  The blowouts is why I ask.  Typically when my kids have started having a lot of blowouts is when I go up a size.  DS2 is average in everything and he is size 4's because the size 3's looked tight on him.  Have you changed diaper brand?  If not, you may want to try.  I tend to be a Pampers girl (although old school Cruisers not the new ones) and have noticed that Huggies actually fit DS2's legs better.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they're too small too.  Ri is only in the 50-75th percentile for height and weight and she's been in size 4 (Huggies) for a week now.  I would buy a small pack a size up and give those a try.  The only time Ri ever has blowouts (and it's usually just pee) is when the diaper has been too small.
