the size of him

We've finally found a pair of trousers that fit Harvey properly. You see, he's a pretty big boy, at least when measured around his middle, which means that clothes meant for 9-month-olds tend to be a bit snug. And when we find trousers that do fit his waist—and his gigantic, cloth-diaper butt—they need to be rolled up three or four times to not overhang his feet entirely. Happily, Grandma had the wonderful idea of buying 18-month shorts. The waistband fits, and the cuffs are right about at his ankles. Yup, Harvey is just the size of an 18-month-old dwarf. Good to know!
