During our move out to LA in mid-August, I realized when packing that the girls newborn clothes didn't fit them anymore, especially their sleepers. The girls seem to be long and lean with huge feet. When you look at their bellies in the newborn attire, there is plenty of room, however when you look at the length - things were awfully snug. Brant actually pointed out to me that the girls toes were curled up inside their sleeper feet - what a bad mom - I totally didn't realize this and promptly put them into their 3 month clothes.
So here is my rant - why on earth are the clothes for babies between 8-12lbs called 3 month clothes? Even our girls (who started off extremely small) are beyond 8lbs at three months. So I guess I have learned that 3 month clothes are really for babies 0-3 and six month clothes are for babies 3-6 months. Why not just label this way?
Needless to say this same issue repeated itself (ALREADY). While both grandmas were here, they teamed up to show me that the girls were ready for the 6 month clothes. I feel silly putting the girls into 6 month clothes when they are still less than four months, but I guess this is just the ridiculous labeling that children's clothing manufacturers use. Don't we have enough to worry about when raising children, must we really worry about confusing clothing labels too?
