Who's a big guy?

We think Caiden recently went through a growth spurt. A good portion of his head is above crib level now. The last of the 12 month shirts are just barely making it. 18month shirts are the official size for this guy. What is his pants size you ask? 18 or 24 month shorts. Yes, you read that right... shorts made for a 2 year old fit Caiden like full length pants. Big torso, little legs :)

Jumbo baby!! (OK, it's partially the camera angle...)

An appropriate shirt for this little man

I totally jinxed myself this weekend. On Saturday we were running a longish errand and as we pulled out of the driveway I mentioned to Dan how nice it was that we were no longer slaves to the diaper bag. In the early months I never left the house without it. Diaper blowouts and outfit changes were frequent and unpredictable. But now, I feel okay going out of the house for periods of time without it. Then on Sunday, I took Caiden to watch a local triathlon. We got there after the start and had to park a long walk away from the action. I threw a few wipes and a diaper in the stroller, just in case. Once we were there I pulled Caiden out of the stroller it was evident to me and anyone standing in a 10 foot radius that a diaper change was necessary (p-u). Total blowout...  a new pair of pants was necessary, but yours truly had felt safe enough to leave spare clothing in the car. Luckily Caiden is little enough that hanging out in just a onsie on such a hot day is still acceptable. Next time though... I'll bring the spare pants.

Caiden loved watching the race. There was fun music and lots of people to watch, and we got to cheer on our friend Sasha and catch up with Coach Jesse, whose son is one month older than Caiden.
