I can't believe my baby girl is already getting into 9 month clothing! It seems all brands run differently, but she was beginning to look like a stuffed sausage so it's time to get out the 'new' (well, new to me) clothes. I must admit, it's really fun to go through the bins of clothes and find all the cute stuff! I have only bought one or 2 new things in this size. Everything else has been from Craig's List or consignment sales.
The part I struggle with is how to arrange the clothes in drawers. with the 3-6mo stuff, I put all the onesies in one drawer, pants in another, jumpers in another and all the sleepers together. This time I'm going to try something a little different. I've gone through and made outfits out of everything and will put them in drawers so my husband can dress his daughter and *not* have her look like Punky Brewster. Seriously. Yesterday, she came downstairs in rainbow striped leggings and a longsleeved striped onesie. But the onesie wasn't rainbow striped more of a pastel. it was attrocious!
With this transition to new clothing, I start to wonder how big she really is getting. We don't own a baby scale or a grown-up scale, so I have no way of knowing. We weighed her 2 weeks ago at the reunion and she was 15lbs5oz (fully dressed) but I am guessing she is over 16lbs by now. It just seems within the last 2 weeks she has grown and every time I pick her up she feels like a ton of bricks!
Our next appointment with the doctor is still a few weeks away, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing how much she's grown. We will also be starting solids soon!
