I've had the same experience. That cmpany's clothes seem to run big. In fact, Viebabe just this month got out of their 0-3 month size yet she is almost 18 months. O.k., obviously the clothes don't run THAT big and Viebabe is a mighty small peanut of a thing, but still...in other clothing brands, she graduated from the 0-3 month size last month and is just doing so now for clothes by The Children Place.
Sounds like you have a chunker on your hands. (NTTAWWT) If so, I'm guessing you find the 12 month one piece sleepers fit him in all places except his feet and that the footsy part is too big and floppy (in my experience, no matter how big or small the babe is, the feet tend to stay at the size corresponding to the baby's "real" age). I have the same issue (but on the other end) and tend to put my 18 month old in 3-6 month old one piece outfits but because her feet are those of a normal 18 month old, they are all crammed into the tiny footsies attached to the sleepers. I keep scissors in the nursery and am always cutting off the footsies, and do so unevenly so she looks like a vagabond running around. *sigh*
BTW - I went to a consignment store the other day and found clothes that clearly had never been worn (maybe the kids outgrew them before they wore them). I purchased the most exquisite things for like $2 a piece. Unusual stuff too, so your kid doesn't look like everyone else. (NTTAWWT). You wash them in Dreft and....wallah.
