And I thought I wouldn't have to buy baby clothes - ha!

My 2-month old, 85th-percentile-for-everything baby has officially outgrown all of her 0-3 month/3 month size clothing and is fitting quite comfortably in 6 month size clothing. Argh!

I might as well put away all of her 6 month size fleece sleepers in hopes that maybe my next kiddo can wear them- she'll outgrow them before the average temperature outside gets below 90.

    My baby is in the 90s percentiles for everything. She has enough clothes to last her til she's 2. And I hope they last her til she's 2! So far she's still wearing 0-3 sizes.

    Mine is comfortably in 3-6 month clothes... A few 0-3 dresses still fit...

    A good rule of thumb for here on out is to buy a size bigger than they actual are. Example I am buying 6-9 month, 9m (carters), and some 12 month for this winter and my DD will only be 4 months in September. Its always better for things to be big. However, I am running out of summer clothes as well. I feel like I put the same stuff on her every day. A onesie. onesie. onesie. Sometimes, we play dress up but the most realistic thing is a onesie.

    I am in the same boat.  My wonderful mom bought DS a bunch of 6 month clothes and some are more for Fall.  He is wearing 6 month summer clothes now, comfortably!  He will be 12 weeks in a couple days.  I guess we got some chunky babies!

    I do the same thing most days.  Onesies are always a good option when it's so hot and on you can buy a pack of 5 for like $10 from Target!  They even come in nice colors.

    Wow. I always hate moving up sizes it makes me sad. I think Elise is just about to the point where I need to move to the size 3-6 month stuff, but the 0-3 will work for another week or two. Actually it's only the sleepers that are getting a bit short, everything else is fine.

    This and I am going to put long sleeved shirts under some of the sleeveless ones that are too big now that will fit when it is cooler.

    Just an fyi, when something says it's a size 6 months, it's actually size 3-6 months.  All of Carters stuff is sized like that, so she is not all that far off from her age size! :)

    This is what I was going to say exactly!!! Plus Carter's is long and thin so if your baby is chuncky it might not be the best brand for you.

    Have you checked out a consignment store lately?  All the ones around me (Once Upon a Child) are clearancing out their summer inventory. I got loads of nice stuff---for both this year and next---for $1 apiece. For those prices I really don't care much if some of the stuff never gets worn.
