It's a sad, tear-inducing day here in my household. I decided to get all of little man's 3 month outfits out to see how they fit him (and to see if any are cold weather appropriate since we're going back to NM for Christmas). They're all big on him but aren't so big that he can't wear them. I've decided since he has enough of them, it's time to box up his 0-3 month outfits even though he can fit in most of them.
We are easily into 6 month and some 9 month here. 3-6 still fits him, unless it has feet. It makes me sad whenever I box stuff up and I avoid it as long as possible. Haha
Awww, @TheLittleRedM, that's hard ( Your little zen dude makes me smile every time I see your siggy.
I love reading about the range of sizes of all of our peanuts. My little one is wearing 6 month sleep and plays and they are getting too tight. She has some 9 month ones and pretty soon we're going to be using all of the 9 month ones. The 6 month onesies are too tight... 9 month onesies only.
Hey! Maybe we should add a growth tab to the spreadsheet and add the stats from all of our checkups!!! We could have our own July '13 percentiles instead of just CDC and WHO.
We are in 6-9 clothes. Some 12-18 stuff but only if it's a hand me down from my otger DS's the has shrunk a bit in the wash. He's not even 5 months yet! He was 27.5 inches and 17 lbs about 3 weeks ago so I'm thinking he's grown more since then. I thought he was going to be my small baby too since he was a full pound less than his brothers at birth, but he's nearly triple his birth weight at not quite 5 months! But, I am 6'2 and DH is 6'5 so I'm not shocked. Our other boys have always been off the charts too. We are all tall beanpoles in this house
Wow, and I thought I had a little guy! I think he was about 25th percentile for weight and height--DS1 was always about 50th or so. He is wearing some 3-6 stuff but 6 month is starting to fit him better. He can still wear 3-6 mo pants though, for sure.

Hellllloooooo tall lady! ;;)
Sully keeps outgrowing his sleepers in length before he ever fills them out. His feet are always too long for the footies, too. I was cramming him into 3 mo clothes in ignorant bliss for a while because it was still a bit warm and he hasn't grown a butt yet. I was using the newborn baby legs on his calves and putting the smaller pants on him since they stay up. I've sine busted out his 6 month clothes and started putting some of the skinnier ones on him. He's now in 6-9 mo sleepers, 3-6 month clothing, and 12 mo socks.
@EagleWife Oooooo another spreadsheet! I think I just wet myself with excitement!

I do love stats, but I think this is a terrible idea destined to produce anxiety in moms whose babies, say, have gained less than a pound since October 1 because their guts aren't absorbing any nutrients. Just to throw out a random example.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.

You might have a good point there, @mimi4347. Although the intent would be good (showing that babies come in all shapes and sizes), it could create some unwanted competition.

@mimi4347, I'm sorry. I did not consider how insensitive that would be to our sweet little slower growers. It certainly would not be to create competition or increase anxiety levels. Hugs.

LO was 28.5 in and 19lbs at her 4 mo appt. She is almost 6mo and if I had to guess I would say 30in (she has outgrown her car seat) and maybe 21/22lbs
ETA we cloth diaper so we outgrow onesies a little faster but her 18 mo dresses are getting a little short too
