A Mother's Plea

I realized something recently as I was shopping for some new clothes for Lily...there are no clothes for a big baby. I should specify...a long baby. I've been stuffing Lily into 6 month-sized clothing for a few months longer than I should have. So, I decided to skip the 9 month-sized clothes and go directly to 12 month. I figured then they will for sure be long enough so her "little" legs won't get cold. Also, I am hoping she can wear them longer than a month without looking ridiculous. However, when I went to Target and Babies R Us, I found that most infant clothing only goes up to 9 months! Granted there are a few exceptions, but for the most part this is true. Now, I know there are plenty of 12 month-sized clothes out there, like cute little jeans and tops. However, my Lily is only 6 months old and sometimes I like dressing her in cozy jumpers and sleepers. I struggled to find even a pack of long-sleeved onesies for her and sleepers another story. I will be trying a few other stores when I get the chance (JCPennys etc.), but my plea is to the infant clothing companies...could you add one more size??? For all other mothers out there with a 90th percentile baby...I sympathize with you.

Then I ask myself, is this problem also due to my inability to accept that my little girl is growing up so fast? Am I trying to hold on to the idea that I still have a new baby? That could be part of it:)
