They look like regular length on my LO! I also always buy leggings because you can just bunch them at the ankle. She only has one pair of actual pants and I roll them but they always come down and she trips on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932456 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:52:50 +0000 looch 1932456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: Yep, it's super easy, especially on fleece type fabrics. Just cut, roll, pin and sew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932394 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:31:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 1932394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: haha the rolls don't bother me- I think it's so cute and as long as they aren't tight on her tummy I think she's ok. You could try baby legs at home too but probably it doesn't make sense to buy them at this point. The ruffle butt leggings at old navy fit c well without seeming too tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932364 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:21:10 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1932364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I've been doing just a onesie or shorts too, but now it's (finally!) cooled down here, so the house is cooler so I have been doing pants because her legs get cold. The leggings I have seem so tight! Haha. I can see all her rolls through them so I hope she's not uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932347 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:14:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 1932347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also now that she's craeling she will probably start to slim down a little again, since she'll be burning through those calories crawling all over. And early crawling days I just did onesies or shorts with bare legs inside a lot, so she could get more traction on the wood floors. But it was warmer then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932341 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:12:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1932341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put her in a lot of leggings- the ankles are so tight they just bunch up around her ankles instead of dragging. Stiffer pants like jeans I roll. Loose soft pants are the worst and I just don't bother since she slips on them. </p> <p>I find old navy runs a little shorter than other brands so it works well on my short chubster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932254 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 10:47:16 +0000 avivoca 1932254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I roll pants and sleeves up. It's not my favorite look, but the clothes come from the grandparents so I deal with it aesthetically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932217 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 10:33:26 +0000 twodoghouse 1932217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: Target and online. It runs big on DD so consider sizing up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932204 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 10:28:52 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1932204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Haha, love it. :) Maybe when she's walking I'll start hemming them. Thanks for the recs on brands! Gap used to be so baggy on her, but I think she'll fit much better in it now. Where do you buy Oshkosh? We don't have a store here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932180 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 10:20:24 +0000 twodoghouse 1932180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I roll them! Certain brands work better for her, too. Oshkosh, Gap, Old Navy and Circo work better for her lengthwise, whereas Carter's fits her long, lean brother better. Maybe if she stays this way in the future, I'll learn to hem them, but DD is only 6 months so doesn't stay in a size long. Also I'm a mom of twins - ain't nobody got time for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1932170 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 10:15:49 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1932170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: You hem them yourself? Eek, my sewing skills are basic at best. Grammy might have to do some hemming for me! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1931960 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:31:20 +0000 looch 1931960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hem the pant legs. I just did a bunch for my son this weekend, he needs the waist for 5T, but they're about 3 inches too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-little-teacup-short-and-stout#post-1931958 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:30:29 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1931958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD has exploded in weight the past couple months, going from the 14th percentile to 75th! But her height is in the 12th. She's 9 months and crawling. I put 12 month circo pants on her and they fit in the waist but not the length. Parents of short and stout kids, what do you do about clothes? Just roll up sleeves and cuff pants?</p> <p>Also, my girl who's a crawling machine, keeps slipping on the hard floor and going flat. She gets mad when she has trouble getting back up. Anything I can get/do to help with that? </p>
