size 9

We had to purchase all new pjs for Eddie this week because he has outgrown the 6 month size and is now wearing the 9 month size, mostly because of his length. We started noticing that he would fuss when we would put on his pajamas and it became harder and harder to do the snaps on the legs and around the crotch, indicating that he was too constricted in that area. It is sorta weird to me how they make these baby clothes with such short legs and arms - I know I said this in an earlier post too. It's as if the standard American child has stubs for arms and legs. They need to make an athlete baby line or something. I know a lot of parents that have athletic builds with long arms and legs and large hands and feet, and like us, they are struggling/will struggle with finding the perfect fit in clothes. Just like there are adult clothing lines for "Big and Tall" maybe there need to be baby lines too. In general the European clothes are better fitting for long and slender people, and Ralph Lauren seems to outfit the long baby as well, but who wants to spend $30+ per outfit when kids grow so fast? We got some warm fleece pjs by Gerber on sale at Target for $2.39 for 2 pairs...now that's what I'm talking about!
