    How old were your babies when they moved into 3-6 months clothes?

    9 months, she's just about to move into 9-12 clothes and she's 17 months.

    Vests one month, babygrows we skipped them and went straight on to 6-9 at three months. (We hadn't been using babygrows that much as it was hot but we were going camping so though we would need them.) But Alice has always been tall - she's currently wearing an age six dress.

    Hubby has now purrr-chased said bargain :T

    He called me and asked me to confirm the name for him to make sure he had the right one....then we had the following bizarre conversation:

    H: 'which colour do you want?'
    me: 'Ooo, is there a choice?'
    H: 'well all the boxes are the same colour'
    me: 'so is there a choice?'
    H: 'no'
    me: 'get any of them then - I don't think that they come in pink'
    H: 'there is one with some orange on it next to me'
    me: 'is it okay? get that one'
    H: 'no, I'll take this one'
    me: 'okay'


    *shrugs*
    LOl, I think that was the M&P Ora that was black and orange... Not suitable for what you wanted... All the 3 wheelers were black I think...

    There was a bright pink travel system though ;)

    Caitlyn went into 3-6 quite quickly... Then into 6-9... Which she decided to stick with for quite a while... And is just about moving into 9-12 now at 14.5 months lol... I need to get her a few bits though, she seems to run out of clothes quicker now since I started putting away the outfits that are a bit small...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Thomas still has a couple of 0-3 month things that he still wears at nearly 8 months! I really wouldn't worry about it - lots of different shops have different sizes on 0-3 months, looking in the red book the range at 3 months is about 4.5-8.5kg!

    We have tooth 2 poking through here now, too! :D 2 in 2 weeks and he's nearly 8 months old :rotfl:. Tried to get a photo like you, kindof, but Finn would prefer to eat the camera instead.

    Finn was still 0-3 stuff until last month (7 months) - he could prolly still fit into a few of the tops still but I packed them all away just so I keep everything together.

    Susan, this is a totally random question...I know plan on homeschooling Alice and I'm sure you try and fit in some educational activities right now - but at what age do you think you'll begin a sort of formal programme? The same as normal schools or maybe wait a bit to keep the approach more Montessori-esque? I'm just curious. I've always been very interested in home schooling, it's more popular in the States, even though we have a VERY long time to think about that sort of thing! ;)

    Peace :) DP got in from work, had a few minutes playtime with Thomas and now they are both asleep!

    Thinking of a weekend to get away from everything and thinking camping would be a bit of a plan - anyone any experience of camping with a little one? It can't be that hard can it?!

    Wow Kindof, I can't believe E already has a tooth, bless him! Was he ok when it was coming through? Equally wow at him being in 6-9 clothes! Is he really tall? Guy is 99.6th centile for height and somewhere around 50th for weight, tall and thin, not like his mum :p

    Haha MFD sounds like a typical conversation with my other half!! :money: :j for the pushchair, I've just seen the same one go on our local netmums but used for £150!

    Muso - Guy has been in 3-6 since pretty much bang on 3 months, though can still wear a lot of his 3-6 t-shirts, it's the length that's his problem. Lovely pics of H :)

    Kindof - our Home Bargains had babybanz for a bit, if you have one nearby it's worth checking out, they were only £2.99.

    Som did you switch T's nappies cos they were too small? I know it sounds a silly Q but Guy is still in size 2's at 16lb 6 as I think they still fit, but not sure how to tell if they're too small!?

    Just been to Mothercare as they sent me the wrong car seat, and whilst there saw the Stokke...ooh it's lovely, I want I want I want.
    Baby Boy arrived March 25th 2010 - 17 days late & 8lb 10oz :j

    Loving all the piccys that have been posted

    Fingers crossed for ya Susan :D

    Just made a big pot of lentil soup, got black beans soaking to be made into quesildias and just made falafel. I'm super skint so having to use what I have in the house for a change :rotfl: I'm going to be trumping like a trooper!

    Can't believe Keira is back to nursery next week. Doesn't seem like it's been 5 weeks!

    I decided for that interview tomorrow I'm just going to wear what I'm comfortable in, I feel naff dressing smart because that's just not me, and shirts give me bad b.o! I'll just wear a nice dress, a flowery one or something, and heels. That'll do!
