This is Thomas’s Halloween costume.
I’ve been putting it on him as Halloween approaches for two reasons:
1) Glow-in-the-dark skeleton clothes are completely seasonally appropriate, and this skeleton costume doubles as pajamas!
2) I’m worried he’ll grow out of it by October 31. After every wash I cross my fingers and hold my breath as I put it on him.
So far, it still fits. But the shirt is getting tight around his belly.
My mom bought it for him when I was still pregnant. When she gave it to me we both shrugged — the baby would be about 5 months on Halloween, and this is size 6-12 months. It might be a little big, we figured, but it’ll be fine.
If my home scale is correct, Thomas weighs almost 19 lbs. Which can’t be right, can it? No, 19 lbs. is impossible.
Halloween is two and a half weeks away, which is plenty of time for a baby to grow out of an outfit.
If he does, he’ll go as a sumo wrestler. It is, after all, the costume he and I have been DIY-ing around the clock since the day he was born.
I make the same joke about my 20+ lb 9-month-old! His older brother wore skeleton pajamas as his Halloween costume, but the same costume does not fit my latest. I love a skeleton baby. I much prefer these as costumes to what they sell for babies to wear. How sweet he is!
Oh he is just a wonderfully chunky boy. If it makes you feel and better my Pip is aged 13 months, wears aged 2-3 clothes and I’m desperately hoping will fit into his glow in the dark skeleton shirt that has been worn by both sisters before him, but it’s size 18-24 months. If it doesn’t fit him, his middle sister at a mere 50th percentile is so petite by comparison it might still fit her!
