but you'll always be MY little baby

Jake is really big now. I'm not sure how big he is or when this all happened but it's kind of weird. He's outgrowing all his 18-24 month shirts as we speak, and his 18-24 pants are still hitting his ankles only because the waist is so saggy.

Because I don't want to give you grounds to call the people on me because I have a naked baby running around in November, I stopped in to the clearance racks at Children's Place to see what I could find in a 2T. Instead of looking at size tags, I picked up a few things that looked about the size of the boy. (That's how I shop for Dave too, I just hold things up. It works 99% of the time). When I checked the tags to make sure that everything actually was on sale and not just stuck on the sale rack, I was shocked to see that not one thing was bigger than 12 months.

When did I lose track of how big Jake is? Why do I think that he is still so tiny and little and itsy? Am I always going to have this problem? When I look at things he was wearing last year, I don't say "I can't believe he fit this", I say "I can't believe this is packed away, he can probably still wear this".

I guess all this has to do with the same reasoning that causes people to think I am huge and feel the need to buy me XL sweaters. I'm a little on the tall side but not really, and I'm somewhat well-endowed in the boob department but they aren't super huge, but I still take a small because I am lacking an adequately adult-sized ribcage. I'll take a medium maybe if it is running small or you find it in the juniors department. And I like 100% cotton sweaters. Wool bothers me. Cashmere is appreciated. I'm kinda into the Fair Isle thing that is really popular right now. I love love love argyle. I'm sort of over turtlenecks, I like crew necks, and v-necks are flattering. And Christmas is 45 days away.
