Growth spurts are jerks

[monkeybabe]

We just bought Zoe a swim suit less than a month ago and she's already outgrown it.

I can barely get it all the way over her chest and the straps are starting to dig into her back and shoulders. I don't want to buy another bathing suit!

[charlielove]

What a cute swimsuit! I've always had to size up for swimsuits with the girls. Maybe get her a tankini, then it won't matter if she has another growth spurt.

It does suck. I've found that M outgrows the one pieces much quicker than the tankinis.

What size is it? I got the same one as a gift for Alex in 12 months but I am quite sure she would need it in 18. You are welcome to have it if you like!

Me too.

I bought Ada a 2T one piece swimsuit and it fits! There is room to grow but it isn't hanging off. She wears 18 month in everything else.

That's a cute swimsuit.

It just says "small", no age range.

I'll have to look into tankinis. I'm not a fan of bikinis on babies, but ideally, I'd like to be able to get her a suit that lasts the summer.

Violet just grew a ton too and all the stuff I bought for next year is going to be of small now ughhhh.

Yeah, I don't like the itty bitty bikini tops. I do like the tankinis though, the bottom of the tops go below the top of the bottoms. I have so many one pieces that M only wore once. Being in FL she was gifted a ton of bathing suits. She has to wear a 2T in a one piece though, *sigh*.  Good luck! And that one is really cute!

[charlielove]

Ugh, I do not like bikinis either. But I'll do tankinis. Claire has a couple rashgaurds with bottoms too.

Ditto this. I just hit the gap sale on kids swimsuits for next year, and am now certain that the 2T I ordered wont fit.

Carter stayed in size 5 shoes for about a month. Now I have four pairs of adorable shoes that were barely worn, and I need to go stuck up again. I'm mad at whomever it was who said that shoes go up a size every six months.

I would say with mine their size changes every 3-4 months until about 2.5 y/o. One month is crazy though! Also, See Kai Run has free shipping this weekend if you need to stock up.

I hate bikinis on little girls, but I love the tankinis. A has 2 rash guard tankinis and they're great

[rjamz]

I got Jamie a one piece rash guard a size up. It hangs kind of loosely on him, but should fit all summer. And since it's one piece I don't worry about it falling off or riding up. It's by iplay, I think and they make a girls one too.

Yeah, my kid even wears a romper as a bathing suit. Rompers 4 eva

I will take a look at the one I have tonight and see what it says

[ruby412]

I just had this issue with shoes! She measured a 2.5 last month and I got her 3s. I went back to get sandals and she's already a 4! So, I bought her sandals and new sneakers in 5s. At least I know they'll last the summer then. Of course, now I'm regretting that decision because the 5s are too big and she's having trouble walking (cruising) in the them. Ugghh!!

The one I have is a medium so that should work!

That would be awesome! Thanks so much!

I love tankinis for her, it is so much easier to change her in and out of them and also for diaper changes. They have some on clearance at Carter's right now if you have one by you. I also bought the next size up to hopefully get her through the summer.
