Some of our DD's stuff is too small it depends on the brand. She is a healthy baby. You're doing a wonderful job!

My LO is younger, but my sister's youngest is 9 months and she is wearing 18 month onesies. She is just a cute little chunky baby! I keep waiting for my LO to get some cute little baby fat, but I think it all evens out eventually.

Also, I think baby clothes are all over the place! When he was 3 months I could barely get some Gerber 6 month onesies over his head! I think some things just run small.

I agree with the big babies comment. LO is 14 months old and still fitting into his 12 month pants and 18 month onesies. His 12 month pants have to be rolled up, so he doesn't fall over them. Our LO is long and lean.

Maybe she'll lean out a bit when she starts crawling and walking. I know that did it for LO.

@Arden: I'm 5'3" and DH is 5'9" and DS is a tall boy, he was born 21.5" and 8lbs 2.9oz!
J is slim but continues to be a taller kid, he jeans look like capris, haha
Do you or your husband have tall siblings or parents? Both my parents are tall and we both have 6'+ brothers.

E is the same way. I'm 5'4", and while D is tall (6'1") he was a string bean until he was 16-17. So far E is both very tall and very solid...he weighs a lot but it's all muscle....he's not a chubby baby, and he's been this way since birth. He wore NB for like...2 weeks? 0-3 months for like 2 weeks, and then into 3 months. By 2 months he was wearing 6-9m onesies, and by 4 months he could fit into a lot of 12m.

He's 15m now and is fitting a little bit more true to size (mostly 18-24m), but he's still in the 95th and 96th percentiles for weight and height (as of yesterday 27lbs, 8oz and 33.2" tall). Just the way some babies are built!

If you ever read the blog Nat The Fat Rat, you'll see that she (tiny) and her husband (not huge) had the fattest, sweetest baby. His baby pictures are just amazing, utterly amazing. Now he's a toddler and he's leaned out quite significantly. Breastfed babies often get really big, and then catch up to their curve a bit later.

@Arden: I'm a vegetarian with a giant baby too It amuses me because I'm the only vegetarian in my family and when I got pregnant my parents wanted were convinced that my doctor would tell me to eat meat. That you can't grow a healthy baby without meat. Now their exclusively breastfed grandson has big chunky thighs, a huge belly, and is killing all our backs with how heavy he is.

Your LO looks pretty perfect to me! I have one cousin who is WAY taller than her parents! It happens!

@cmomma17: haha! all the babies born in my family were teeny - 5/6lb-ers - and me, the small vegetarian, has the 8+lbs baby
