She Ain’t Heavy
Isobel was born on her due date weighing 2910 grams. That’s like, exactly 6 pounds, 6.6 ounces. (Yeah, the meaning wasn’t lost on us, either, especially since she had some redness in her hair and was conceived on Hallowe’en.) I jokingly thanked prenatal smoking for a small baby, since, well, she tore me a new one; I can’t imagine the damage that could have been done if she’d been a pound bigger. I won’t.
Then, she was a slow weight gainer. You know how some kids double their birth weight in like, a month? It took her four. At five months, New Years, she was finally wearing 3 month sizes. At a year? She wore 6-9 months. At 18 months, she finally was in all 12 months and I could chuck out the 9 month tees. And recently, we’ve been blessed with a very large amount of 18-24 month clothes and size twos. And most of the 18 month clothes were stained beyond recognition.
So we’re using what’s not going to have an obvious place in the ‘too big box.’
Keeping in mind that she’s going to be two on the 25th of this month…here’s what 18-24 months pants look like in Isobel land:
Yes, those are capris. And you get five coolness points if you know which movie she’s watching.

Not a clue on the movie (I’m sooooo not up on these things, I suck). However, that plumber butt looks very familiar. I see a lot of it on my 3.5 year old, just ask Mr. Lady, who spent most of Tuesday laughing at the Princess’ “Boyz in the Hood” look.

She’s so adorable! Devil child or not.
Ari didn’t double her birth weight for over a year. She’s now 2 1/2 and wearing 18-24 but they fit! LOL
Poor Isobel. She looks like if she ran she’d trip and fall over herself!

Adorable!
My three year old is still wearing 24 months pants. Shorts look like clam diggers on him! He lost 15 pounds this past winter when he was in the hospital and we couldn’t keep a pair of pants on him!!
Is that the Rugrats movie?

My poor guy runs around always with one hand on his pants so they don’t fall down. He and his brother share clothes and bro is a bit bigger. in the waist. Occupational hazard of twinship.

see, and my 2 month preemie weighed 7 lbs 5 oz…. And now she’s 13 months and wears size 2T…. what can I say, we’re giants.
It’s a shot of Chuckie’s shoes, isn’t it? That makes it *gags because she might know what it is* Rugrats?

My girls have been in the 3rd-5th %ile since birth, so we get lots of weird looks and weird questions like, “Is she OK?” (yeah, seriously)
I tell people I did crack when I was pregnant so I’d have a skinny baby. THAT gets lots of weird looks.

Don’t worry about her being petite. She’s growing, she’s thriving and she’s adorable.

I was still in newborn clothes at 7 months old. No joke. I’m sure she will be fine.
I can’t name the movie, but I think that’s Elmo on her hiney. Does that count? lol

aww. She is tiny! L ’s capris all look like pants too! lol
The good new is…when she’s like 20 something, she can probably still wear juniors clothes…which are much, much cheaper! Not that I would know or anything (ahem)

My son is the same. He is soooo tall for his age but such a skinny minny it’s ridiculous. He will be three in November and 24 month pants fall off his waist (and hit him mid calf) – I don’t know what to put on him!

my knucklehead was also a slow gainer… he was healthy- and was walking at 9 months in a 3-6 months baby-gro!

I’ve been worrying about her weight gain since the day she was born….8+ pounds. Tore me a new one too 
We have the opposite about the weight gain. Mine is wearing nearly 4T’s and is not even 3 yet
