Next Round of Clothes

Karston wore clothes pretty much by his age, maybe even a month later since he slipped off the weight chart at 9 months. Karston has stayed below the 5th percentile for weight ever since, and has been in low percentiles for height. He's slim for his height, and short for his age, so I've been surprised that the age ranges on clothes match when he wears clothes so far.

Even though I know Karston is small, I still didn't expect to bring out the 3-6 months clothes for Cale by the time he was one month old. Now I understand why! The Gap size chart for kids says 3-6 months corresponds to 12-17 pounds and 23-27 inches. Cale's already 12 pounds and 23 inches! So I need to ignore the age on clothes label for Cale in order to get clothes that fit him. Old habits die hard, but it makes more sense seeing it on a chart now. I have a little boy and a big boy ... you'll have to tell from context when I mean size or age!
