Elvis has a colleague with a 5 month old son, and she wants Joel's clothes. But her baby is now SAME WEIGHT as Joel! 10kg!!! Elvis dont think it'll fit her baby next winter. (Probably need to start wearing winter clothes again around October.) Another colleague has a baby nephew and is also keen to take over Joel's clothes!
On Sunday morning, i tried to look for some of Joel's winter clothes to give away when Spring is finally over. Meanwhile Joel can also wear the "smaller" clothes more often now. Coz sometimes the temperature will drop (again)...all the way till late May...before summer really comes. I'll try to pack everything winter by summer, and everything summer by spring.
The problem is, i realized i have mostly fleece pants & bodysuits to give away. Stuffs that will be too short/tight by year-end. Really not that many tops to give away! Probably only a few sweaters, rompers and his blue H&M winter jacket. Those daily-wear rompers we will not give away lah since they'll be quite worn by then (paiseh). Of course, we also like to snip off some of Joel's rompers/onesies into tees...so some of those can still put aside. Keke... ;p
(Hint: You can also sew up the hems of tshirts to make little cushions)
I found these 2 pieces which Joel wore on Sunday.
It's his FIRST shirt from Zara (3-6mths) & Fox Baby 3/4 pants (also 3-6mths) when he was 1 month old for CNY. It sure looks very big on tiny Joel then 4kg. Surprisingly, the pants actually fits just nice now! Really 3/4 pants for his short legs! The shirt is a bit too small...but still quite stylish like a tight-fit cowboy shirt! (Of course, no parent will buy this "real fit" for their baby!) Joel also wore a short-sleeve white Gap onesie inside since it was still pretty cold. He wore a cardigan on the outside.
THE LOOK: Smart Casual
Joel's clothes - tees, sweaters, jackets - are mostly quite big and he can probably wear them for another year. Maybe it's becoz i usually buy Japanese size 90 = 90cm height = about 2yrs. When i bought them, he's about a real size 80. If it's 'months', i will buy about +/-3 his 'real months'.

oh and the 1-mth looks like 'xiao he shang'. hehe!
the pics are so funny!!
I think the 1mth look like gangster Ah Beng! But the 15mth tight-fit very cool! ;p
Wow!! Its amazing he can still wear his clothes from when he is so young.
Actually when we see him sitting quietly and playing on his own, he looks really small...like a baby.
On photos, he look like a big boy. Maybe it's the clothes... ;p
ya joel looks big and tall in the pics...looks like a big cute boy too...
TALL???!!! Check out those short legs in 'the flasher'! Haha! ;p
not that short lah..give yr son some credit la....:P
thanks so much for the tips on what size to buy Jo! you just saved me loads of $$$! =) I realised that Fox's sizing is very generous! their 3-6mths clothes are pretty big! Some are still very big for my boy even though he's 7 mths 2 weeks and 8kg!
Yes, have to keep trying on the clothes till really cannot fit...then store it away.
Fox is so cheap & good! There's Fox adults here but no kids. :( But there's NiHong...so nvm! Haha!
