I just thought of something I wanted to blog about and instead of adding to the last post, I figured I’d throw a new one up (that didn’t sound great, did it?) since it would give me an excuse to add another picture! I just adore this little jacket cause it’s so fluffy and has cute ears on the hood – she got a chance to wear this on our walk.
So anyway, the thing that I wanted to talk about was sizes. Oh, and baby books. I finally got Sophie a book and filled in what I could up to this point. See, I figure she’ll have this blog to eventually look back on as a sort of electronic baby book (that’s a crazy thought isn’t it, how much of our lives will be accessible for future generations just because of our increasing attachment to computers) that is about our lives (but admittedly is a lot about her); however, I know I personally like to have tangible things to touch and browse. Real historical documents are way cooler than scanned images. If they weren’t, people would be content with the pictures of the Constitution in the history books and wouldn’t wait in line at the National Archives to walk by the real thing for a few seconds.
But I digress, back to clothes sizes. It seemed like Sophie was stuck in the newborn size for a long time but she has really had a growth spurt that doesn’t show any signs of letting up. She’s on to 0-3 months now, but now I’m dealing with the frustrations of how vague those numbers really are. For example, most of the onesies she wears are 0-3, but Gerber onesies are a whole size off so she wears 3-6 months for those. Some sleep and plays are too short but other ones are so long her hands won’t stay out of the sleeves. Then there’s two-piece things. It really seems like she can handle a smaller size of these since we don’t have to worry about her legs not having enough room. I have found the weight information on the tags to be a much closer approximation to what will and won’t fit. So yeah, that’s just my little rant about clothes and their sometimes misleading sizes. Enjoy the extra pic!

Clothes sizes are a headache. Our issue is Evies head, it is huge! She is in the 90% for head size. I think 19 inches at her 15 month. So, 12 month clothes fit her, but I can't get her head through the top, so I have to go with 18 month. But, she is also long and thin. So 18 month fits lenght wise, but she floats in pants and they don't make baby belts!
I think you will always have issues with clothing sizes.
Oh ya, SIZES! Seems like in th past 4 years I dropped 3 sizes w/o losing an inch or pound! It makes us older generation feel small.
