And here is the 'mom tip'. Since Jacob has been walking, I have noticed that his growth happens in two directions. For a little while his belly will seem to be filling out, and then a few weeks later all of that filler seems to spread out as he gets a little bit taller. It is quite a miracle to watch a baby grow! However, miraculous or not, it can be tricky to keep up with clothes that fit. For the past few weeks his short and pants have been in two different piles. One pile was for the fuller tummy/shorter legs days, and the other pile for thinner tummy/longer legs days. Then, I discovered the wonder of adjustable waist shorts and pants (like the ones Jacob has on in the above picture). They have elastic the can be adjusted on the inside of the waistband, so they can adapt to whatever kind of day it is. We love them! He can breath, and they will last for more than a couple of weeks! YEAH! Oh the simple pleasures of motherhood:)06 April 2008
Adjustable Waist
This post is partially an excuse to show off another cute picture of Jacob and partially one of those 'mom tips' I thought I would pass along. So, here is the picture:And here is the 'mom tip'.

i need some elastic pants too, but mine will be mostly for wide days and not really for getting taller days :)
Silly Carol.
It took us a while to figure those out too, but they come in extra handy as we pass down the clothes. Lorin=booty; Izzy=no booty; Ryan=major booty :) Go adjustable pants!!! Cute pic. Love you guys.
Oh yeah, those things are a life saver! Much like your banana bread. With butter. *B
I love adjustable waists! Especially for Syd because her legs are so long, and she needs bigger jeans that way, but smaller jeans waist wise. Anyway, yeah - a great invention. :)
Oh Tiffy...he is darling!
thanks for sharin the info again. i will have to keep an eye out for the girl ones.
I LOVE his facial expressions. I can't quited tell if he's as thrilled with the elastic shorts (or shall we call them 'streeeetchy pants?') as his mommy is.
