Lily still has one and it's so cute! I remember reading in one of my baby books that their abdominal muscles aren't fully developed yet and around 2.5/3 they start getting stronger and pull their belly in more. If they start to thin out do they just stay in the same size pants for a while then?

Yes to the pants question for us.  J has thinned out quite a bit in the last 6 months and he can still wear a lot of 12-18 month pants if the length isn't too short.  I have been buying 2T lately, but they are huge around his waist.  

Lily just moved into 18-24 month, I guess I should plan on her wearing these for a while!

This is why we are in 3T (sometimes 4T) clothing.

Us, too!  Long torso and big belly.

This is us too!

I don't remember when it goes away but I love it so much and I will miss toddler body proportions. H is a long bony string bean and we still cuddle but she's bony not squishy.

Totally agree. I call DS1 my grasshopper because that's exactly what it's like cuddling him. He used to have the biggest belly, it was hilarious.

DS2 still has one, but it doesn't compare to his brother's at the same age. I want to say 2.5-3 that DS1s slimmed down.?

G is still Mr. Buddha belly! I love it. I think I posted this in a HDBD awhile back.

We have a big belly here. DD is skinny everywhere else, too.

Avery still has one too. I love it.

Looking back at pictures of DD1 & 2, the big belly was gone by 3.

Although, I can always tell when the older girls are going through a growth spurt because they get a bit of a belly and they will be 6 and 7 this year. They always seem to grow out before they grow up.
