Miles is growing up so fast… Literally!!
Earlier this week, I set out clothes for Miles to wear and Nathan dressed him. Then, Nate put his shoes on and let him walk around a bit. Wow!! Highwaters!! Miles' pants were at least an inch above his shoes. I was shocked and Nate just laughed while lifting up Miles' shirt in the back to reveal that Miles' pants were sagging a bit and STILL floating well above his shoes! I changed him – immediately! Last week, he wore the exact same pants and looked fine!!!
Needless to say, I am finally packing up his 9 month-sized pants. Sadly, the 12 month pants – though long enough – fall off of his little rump.
I'm working on 2 different solutions – 1) we bought a pair of pants that have an adjustable waistband and 2) I'm going to try putting him in size 4 diapers.
Solution #1 showed that they waists do not go small enough. The pants still fall down. Solution #2 is yet to be attempted. The extra 'poof' will help, right?!
Miles legs are finally catching up – I knew it was going to happen someday – just look at his long, lean daddy :)
Along with the 'pants-drama', Miles has been eating an obscene amount of food again. (see previous post for belly shot)
That's easy to handle…
Also, Miles has been sleeping GREAT!! I actually have to wake him up to eat and get changed in the morning now. I've even been putting him down a half hour earlier than normal (though I have to admit that is mostly because he's only been taking one nap at daycare..)
This new change is also very easy to handle!
Finally – Miles loves milk. The last week, I've been cutting his formula half-n-half with whole milk. He's been drinking it so much better now. Daycare even asked what I changed since Miles will drink an entire 5-6 ounces in his straw-sippy in -what appears to be- one really long suck.
I hope he likes straight whole milk just as well.
Though if he does, Little Man may not be so little for long :)

First ~ Brad said he gave Strummer a bottle of just milk and he drank it just fine!
Second ~ I also have the pants-issue. 12-month pants are the right length, but fall off his lack-of-bootie. (plus he's only like 18 lbs!)
So I make sure he had a onesie...even better a thicker onesie under his shirt and that slightly helps! At least as it's colder, it's going to be more logical to put something underneath! So I would try that! I've also been looking for baby-suspenders, but no such luck :P
Yeah on the Milk!! I love dealing with less formula!
Thanks for the advice on the pants issue. Miles is 21 lbs, but still suffers from lack-of-bootie! If you find suspenders, let me know! Sounds like a good investment!
Ok, so you have helped confirm that Ethan is huge (he is 9 months). He has been in size 4 diapers since about 6 months old. He has been in 12 month clothes for about a month now, he pretty much skipped over the 9 month clothes. The 12 month pants are still a little long, but I just cuff them or leave them alone, it doesn't seem to bother him. So, I guess we don't have a butt issue with pants. We go to the doctor this week, so watch for his new stats!
