Sizing things up

I confess to utter bewilderment when it comes to the sizes of baby clothes.  I thought I was doing so well when I had all Patrick’s outfits sorted by their purported age-appropriateness, but now I find that some “newborn” pieces are really for newborn giants, while some 3-6 month items fit just fine.  (See photo, in which he sports a Gerber onesie in the 3-6 month size.)  It doesn’t help that he is unusually tall for his weight (or skinny for his height), making outfits that fit well from head to toe often far too roomy.  Still, there’s no arguing with the verdict of this little suit: adorable!
