Sad day here

TheLittleRedM · December 2013

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.

My peanut is getting big and I want it to stop

yeah we are close to packing up LOs 18 month clothes...... yeah EIGHTTEEN

shara3333 · December 2013

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

miss2697 · December 2013

Yea, DD is in 9 month clothes now. I blame my super tall hubby...

If he didn't have an irrational amount of 0-3 month stuff, I'd just keep them out.

I just went through all my LO's clothes today. So sad

he's in 3-6 month now but I doubt this size lasts long. He's been growing like a weed!

Jeez, I thought I had a giant baby. How big are all your kids if they're in 12-18 month clothes? Ruby is at least 20 pounds and 26 inches.

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

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.

Paging @ChrissieMeas and @ThompsonHM2 :P

yup and we can't even attempt leggings which is like the only pants they make for girls

TheLittleRedM · December 2013

@MrsErinH He is but I didn't realize how much until I read all these responses lol

@EagleWife Thanks!

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

I buy boy pants for DD just for this reason! No one has to know...

My girl is a tiny one- someone's gotta be on the other side of the curve I guess!

At 4 months, my son was 27&1/2 inches long. He's wearing 9 month clothing and 12 month feet pajamas now!

DenverBride2005 · December 2013

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.

Erinm278 · December 2013

9 month clothes over here!

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.

McSkin is holding strong in his 0-3's for now. I don't mind. I also get the sadz packing up outgrown clothes.

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.

RoRo10733 · December 2013

We are moving into 6-9m here. 3-6m pants work well for him though. At his 4 month check-up he was 17lbs, 26 inches. He is 2 weeks shy of 5 months.

Same here except I have a boy

DH is 6'4 and I also blame him for LO's ginormo head. He is 99% for height and 100% for head. How is that even possible?

@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.
