Clothing sizes?

What size clothes are your kiddos wearing right now?
L's still in 6 month, and I think she will be for a while since she's been outgrowing things by length rather than width and most of her "warmweather" stuff is impossible to outgrow by length. We don't have very much 9 month stuff anyway, so I'm tempted to see if we can skip that size all together... If not, I need to do some serious garage sale scouting.

Re: Clothing sizes?
He is 19 lbs and 28 inches
He is about 14 lbs and 27 inches. He's too long for any 6 month stuff we had. Although it's tough to find pants small enough for the tiny belly.
It really depends on the brand. If we are talking Carter's, 9 months fits him best now. He still wears some of his 6 month stuff, and has started getting some 12 month and they fit, but are just a tad big.
If you are talking about things like Old Navy or Gap, he fits in the 6-12 month size. I got him one 12-18 month outfit, but it is still too big for now.
I've noticed, and I like it. The length is consistent. I hate buying onesies that are so massively big around that my kid looks scrawny. The narrow fit outfits are awesome for thin guys (and girls).
I wish they had been around when DD was a baby. I had to make her clothes because everything was so big around the belly. It all looked awful.
We are in 12 month sizes (29" long and 19.2 lbs at the 6 month appointment two weeks ago). I'm skipping the 9 month all together since they seem hard to find around here and I'd rather have something that works for longer than a month or two at the rate Z is growing. He's pretty much been growing an inch a month and sometimes over an inch. I read it should slow down. They fit everywhere but are a little long in the torso but nothing too bad.
I'm starting to just get shirts instead of the onsies though as he can wear them longer. I'm no longer doing the footed jammies either, just long sleeve shirts and pants. Its summer time here already and it's the only time he'll make use of them
.
DD does anything from 0-3 to 9 month. Although Carter's 3 months are all small. But other brands like Old Navy or Children's Place or Blue Nile fit.
At her 6 month appointment recently she was 45% for weight and 75% for height, it baffles me that there are still 0-3 that fit her.
I keep finding clothes in 3 and 6 months that I forgot to put in her dresser. But it seems like a waste now.
ETA: He only wears 12 or 18 month shorts and shirts pajamas now. It's too hot for the sleepers, and they fit him funny anyways. He wears basketball shorts and tshirts 90 percent of the time.
At his 7 month pedi appt last week V was 20 pounds and almost 29 inches long so this all makes sense. Just felt strange putting my 7 month old in 1218 month clothes!
I've now exchanged swimsuits 3 times.... Trying to anticipate his size just didn't work!
