2+ moms clothing question

[monkeybabe]

In your experience, do kids tend to move through clothes at the same rate? Like, Zoe is in 3-6 month clothing at 9 months. Is it fairly likely that she'll be in 6-9 month clothing at 12 months?

I'm asking, because I want to make her birthday dress... and I want to work on it now, lol.

I am not a 2+ mom but that seems pretty likely. I will say, though, that Violet moved to her 9 month clothing FAST. Seemingly overnight all her 9 month stuff fits like a glove.

Linz was bigger then Lily, but my ex is taller then DH.

This exactly for Tyler as well.

Both boys at completely different rates... DS1 speed through 9 month clothes, DS2 has Been in them for over 2 months... Can you find a 6-12 month pattern? (like gap/ children's place)

That's a good idea. I could make the pattern based off a 6-12 shirt. If it's a little big, NBD, honestly.

What are you making for her?

[monkeybabe]

An Alice dress. I don't want to pay a ton for an etsy dress and finding exactly what I want in a store might prove difficult, ya know? Also, how many pinafores do you find these days? lol.

Cute! Can't wait to see!

No, Jameson grew fast in the beginning and then teetered out. Anna has been growing crazy fast recently (we really should have skipped 12 mo size for the end of winter, but I refuse to buy another wardrobe).

Cute!! We want to see when you're done!
They grow in fits and starts. Just when you think everything is fitting well, you look down and they've got high water pants. Seems to happen overnight sometimes!

I agree with everyone else, it's hard to know. They will be in one size for a few months, then fly through the next size. I can't wait to see the dress though!

I agree with all of the other ladies. Kate's about the same size as Ella was, but she goes through sizes a bit faster.

Not a 2+ here, but I've seen the same pattern with Violet. She grew super fast in the beginning and was a big chunk and now her weight gain is soooo slow. So, I'm guessing the spurts of growth are normal and it's hard to predict.

I agree with the suggestion to size it up slightly and it can be a bit loose if need be. How much does Z weigh these days?

[monkeybabe]

She weighed 14lbs 10 oz on Monday.

My low seems to outgrow stuff a month before she hits the size and has been that way all along. She outgrew 3 mts at 2 mts, 6 mts at 5 mts. So she has been a consistent grower so far.

This is why I'm hesitant to buy her spring clothes yet!! She stayed right on target at first. We switched her 3 month stuff around 4 months, but then she all but skipped 6 month clothes. She wore them for like 2 months before she needed 9 month, and she's been in 12 month since Thanksgiving. Of course, certain pieces she can wear in different sizes, but it's just hard to tell where she'll be in a few months. I'm ASSuming she'll still be in 12 month at her birthday, but I could be totally wrong.
