Too small?

I have been extremely lucky in that I have been able to watch my nephew Desmond for the last couple of months since my sister-in-law went back to work. This is their first child and he is extremely cute and cuddly. Anyone who sees those cheeks has the desire to kiss them he is so cuddly. But he is NOT small. He may have been small at one time in his life. Maybe for about 2 weeks after his birth, but since then, no. He is a big boy, and I don't mean that he is obese or anything, he is just big (maybe because his dad is about 6'5"). Well anyway, on to explaining the purpose of my post...
Gaby has been bringing him to my house in the mornings and I always comment on how big he is getting and how his clothes are not quite fitting him properly. I don't think she is getting the message. Now I understand the love of an outfit. I even dedicated an entire post to one of Ali's shirts, which was extremely hard for me to put away long after she had outgrown it. Some of the times that I tell my S-i-L that things are too small she complains that it is the first time he has gotten to wear the outfit, but that is NO excuse! Give it two years and he will still be wearing clothes that are 2 sizes too small because he has to catch up on the new outfits. I really was just giving her a hard time in the beginning because the outfits that he was wearing were just slightly too small on him, but now it is just getting funny. Below is the onesie for today.


Notice the tightness of the onesie as a whole as well as the "muscles" bulging out of his arms. If he moves to the side you can even see a little cleavage!

The buttons are barely able to come together. One slight movement and...Pop!

This outfit had me laughing so hard when I took him out of his carseat. I know it doesn't look too small on first inspection, but those round circles on his upper thighs are knee pads. Notice the crotch buttons are again being pushed past their limits.
Anyway, even if the clothes are too small, he seems pretty happy in them!

too funny! that white onesie is super tight- egads!

my defense(s):

1. sad to see my newborn no longer be a newborn and grow into such a cute boy!

2. can't believe he hasn't worn some outfits that are already too small for him.

3. too tired to get out his larger clothes from the garage and wash them.

4. very lucky i have such a good boy who doesn't complain about small clothes!

this weekend i will cry over putting away the small clothes and get out 6-12 month sized clothes!

Hi Stephanie,

I just made my blog private and I don't think I had your address, so if you think of it send me your email address (mine is janeecethacker@gmail.com) and I'll add you to the list. Your girls are sure getting big and are super adorable!

Hugs,

I am with both sides on this one. I hated to see my kids grow out of clothing. Jasmine had the most adorable RL dress as a baby. I had her wearing it every chance she got. Rougeh had to finally put it away. I still have that dress and Jasmines' doll now wear it. I loved her in it.

With Benjamin it was a bit different. I just was so worn out that I had issues getting out the newest clothes that fit him. I really noticed it when he was about 8 months and he looked just like Desi in the onesie and I looked at the size and it was still his infant size. He also was not a small baby.
