Me too, I want them to be able to use them for a while. When the preemie twins were born I made them a few small ones that they out grew really fast. Now at 3 mos old they are around 10 lbs. After that, I try to make them larger. Just like when I make throws for teenagers or adults, I make the so that they can be snuggled up in. I have 6ft and above kids and the normall 2yrds won't even do.
