How old is your DC, what do they weigh and what size clothing do they wear? I'm having a hard time deciding what size to buy DS for winter clothes - 18 months or 24 months.
DS just turned two in September. At his two year checkup, he was 25 pounds even. For the most part, he's wearing 18 months now, but some of his shirts (not all) are starting to get a bit small. He does have a few shirts that are 2T or 24 months, and though they are just a little big, they fit pretty good. Pants are harder. He fits in 18 month pants pretty good. But, even when its time for him to move up a size in pants to 24 months, I know they will be WAY too long because he's short just like DH and I (and our families).

M is 25 mos, weighs 22lbs, 34" tall and wearing mostly 24mos clothes, but definitely has some 12 & 18 mo clothes too. She's wearing a size 12 mo winter coat from last year.
he can ear 2t, but only because it's cut slimmer.
At her 2 yr appointment my DD was 25.6lbs and 33.5". She is 2.5 now and just starting to really fit into 2T stuff. She mainly wore 24month or 2T stuff over the summer. I think it is easier to get by with bigger in summer and I figure she will still fit into it next spring.

DD turned 2 in July.
At her last appt she was just 23 lbs. She is wearing 24 month bottoms right now (for length. They are falling off of her in every other way. lol) and can wear 24 month and 2 T tops. They seem to fit her the same (and can't fall off so I dont mind the 2T size).
She wears a size 7 shoes and is growing in to them.
this is so fascinating lol
at almost the exact same weight (bc she has gained some since her appt im sure), what different sizes my kid wears to yours, kwim? so funny.
DS is about 26 pounds and 34ish inches. ?He fits pretty well into 24month pants, but we did buy him 2T ones for the winter. ?I don't really mind if they're long, I just roll the bottom, the problem for us is always the waist. ?He could probably do an 18 month waist, but it would be too short. ?The 2T old navy and Gap pants have an adjustable waist which helps.
He's 2T in shirts.
DS1 will be 2.5 next month. He weighs 24lb at the moment and wears mostly 24mos. He needs 18mos in the waist for pants but they are too short. He can wear some 2T but it has to be running a little on the small side and anything 3T has to be running extremely small for him to wear (he does have a couple of 3T shirts he can wear because of it running so small).
He goes to bed around 8:30pm and wakes up usually between 7-7:30am but I'm having to wake him up these days it seems.
