Nate never really had a winter coat during the first year. Instead we had a baby bunting that made him look like a brown teddy bear. When he first wore it, around 6 months old, it was roomy. He was still mostly sedentary and fit snuggly into the outfit. He was cozy and appropriately cute.
Nate changed a lot before the weather got better. His activity, size and personality all increased exponentially over the winter. Unfortunately, we still squeezed him into the bear outfit in March, as he approached a year old. Nothing about Nate fit into the suit at that time, and it made me feel guilty every time I saw him squeezed in there. Putting him in the suit the last few times was like putting him in a strait jacket. He'd usually be in constant motion, and our job was to immobilize each limb in the bear suit till he was just a face pushing out of the front.
