Now, 16 months later, I look at those eensie baby things and think, these babies were never that small! And re: arbitrary sizing - my 16-month old babies were size 12 month pants and size 18-month shirts. I still don't really understand how it works.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939074543470696025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25570732.post-3516374950856969352012-01-26T20:18:57.350-08:002012-01-26T20:18:57.350-08:00Oh my goodness!

I swear, reading these posts about Eleanor makes me want another baby. *sigh*Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25570732.post-49474615274158608482012-01-24T06:52:14.204-08:002012-01-24T06:52:14.204-08:00I love shoe socks.

She lost one of her cutest pair of shoe-socks in the airport and I was so sad.<br /><br />You will be surprised, one day she will fit those too-big clothes! Just yesterday I pulled a jammie outfit out of a drawer that had been given to my baby a few months ago- it's a nine-month size and my babe is 8 mo now. Older daughter said Mom, that's too big! look how big! she won't fit! but we tried it on and presto, it fit! Older daughter was amazed.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25570732.post-40576122019890218452012-01-24T06:40:36.068-08:002012-01-24T06:40:36.068-08:00Okay, I'm going to admit right up front that I...Okay, I'm going to admit right up front that I followed you over here from Books I Done Read, mostly because my toddler is also named Eleanor and I am DELIGHTED that there is another baby in the world named Eleanor, and I must keep up with all of her doings. (This is probably creepy. I apologize.) And then I had to comment on this particular post because I am nearly positive that your Eleanor (who, by the way, is DARLING) is wearing the very same ducky pajamas that my Eleanor had at that age, and which I cried over as I folded them up and packed them away when they were outgrown. <br /><br />And I also wanted to share that I too refused to believe that my baby would ever be that big, and now right this very second she is 18 months old and climbing the furniture and now I can't believe she was ever that tiny. Babies are just unbelievable.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232042834181320500noreply@blogger.com
