Infant clothing sizes... I think I've mentioned this before... Who comes up with these sizes? What I have determined is that the size ranges, based on months (0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months...) are not really intended to indicate which months the child will actually fit in the item. It can't be; I mean, just last night 5 month old Aidan was placed in a brand new 6-9 month one piece clothing item. It was already too tight. Not too tight around the belly which, to be honest, Aidan really doesn't have much of a belly, but length wise - it's too short. So here we have a 5 month old who is already too big for something that is slated for up to 9 months? Maybe for a hamster.

Infant clothing should be done in inches, not months. Let me go to the store and find a once piece item that lists the size as 27-34 inches (long) - maybe with some kind of secondary listing "For children who may be someplace between 3 and 12 months, your child may vary."

Aidan has started trying to feed himself. He seems to have the total concept down. He'll reach for his bottle, tip it up towards his mouth and adjust it around until he's able to suck away... For about 10 seconds until something else grabs his attention and he takes one hand to reach for it, dropping the bottle which seems to somehow always flip a little bit of formula up on his face - not that he seems to mind or even notice. Sure, it's only a start but in no time he'll be knocking back a couple of Mountain Dew's trying to stay up and study for the Final being given in a class he's attended only 10 day over the course of the quarter. Ah, the memories.. um, I mean, That's my boy!
