My son recently grew into the second infant clothing size -- that's the "3 to 6 month" range -- so I had to re-assess his wardrobe. Time to put the teeny-tiny 0 to 3 month stuff away (feeling a little sad), and time to try the bigger stuff on.
I'm constantly surprised by Izzy's wardrobe, because so many items were gifts. How, for instance, did he end up with two pairs of Army green cargo pants, both of which fit him right now? Two different pairs of pants, given to him by two different well-wishers who had the same thought: "Hey, there's a brand-new baby boy in the world. I bet he needs Army green cargo pants." I guess I shouldn't think too much about what the proliferation of Army green cargo pants might mean -- restrictive gender stereotypes, idealization of the military, pushing a child to grow up too fast by dressing him in adult clothes -- and I should just appreciate that he looks really cute in them.
