Exercise Before Knitting
I suggest that you make at least one that's a cardigan that ties at the neck. This way, the sweater will just fall where it falls regardless of if she stays super skinny or puts on some baby fat.
Your daughter is beautiful, by the way!! And, she looks fantastically happy 
my little cousin was exactly like that - a beanpole of a baby and toddler - she is now 5 1/2 and still SKINNY!!! the sweaters I have made for her I usually size down and add length to the sleeves/body....
Perhaps try choosing patterns that have a little more shaping in the arm, rather than drop-shoulder garments. Also, traditional round-neck yoked sweaters seem to fit toddlers nicely.
Toddlers are proportioned much more like little adult bodies than babies, so I think it will be less of an issue. Toddlers also do require a lot of ease as they are more mobile than babies and need a lot of freedom to do toddler things.
Gorgeous little girl with beautiful eyes!
Sorry can't help with your dilemna!
I don't know.... that's a tough call. She might be really into food once you get into the more exciting solids.
I was a bean pole and still am a bean pole so I would suggest making the adjustments! She's so cute!
what do i think? what a cute baby!!
i would imagine that she's going to grow in the same proportions for a while.
She is so wonderful! I have loved seeing every single picture of her. What great eyes she has!
I would guess that she will continue to be skinny. Maybe you could knit a size smaller but lengthen it a bit? I found that I tried to knit things a little longer for my kids because the item lasts longer that way---it just seemed like my kids grew out of things length-ways rather than around (until my daughter's recent stage!).
That dress you knit her is going to be so pretty on her. You might need to layer a bit, tho!
What a cutie!
I think safe to assume that she will stay that shape. Once she starts walking (and running) the weight gain tends to slow down, at least I found it did. Definitely make sweaters longer!!
Cute bean bole though.
I am certainly not experienced enough to give any advice in this knitting arena. However, that little baby? SO CUTE!
Look at that cute baby! I have the opposite problem - all belly on my girl
I vote for making things a bit more narrow for your little one.
Beautiful!
I wouldn't worry too much. My little ones were around 17-20 lbs at a year old. They are of average height now, thin but athletic.
My kids both stayed very consistent with their percentages on the height/weight chart - even now that they're 10 & 12 years old.
The only thing I could think of is to choose patterns that you can add layers to. A sweater or jumper that you can put a white shirt under.
My daughter had the same build as your daughter, and she is now 5 yrs old and still tall and skinny. When I used to knit things for her I would knit the smaller size so it would fit her properly and not be too big, but I would add an extra 10 to 12 rows in length so it would last a little bit longer, and cover her tummy too.
SO cute! I'd not worry, my daughter was ALWAYS long and skinny and now she's still a long and thin girl. Go a bit skinnier on the future patterns, plus cotton always stretches sideways when I knit with it which only makes it tougher!
OH and there's now THREE of us coming up for the 5K in Lawrence on the 15th! Thanks for the link, my cousin and one sister-in-law are coming up with me. They've already been informed Christine WILL be going to the yarn shop after the race is over.
You'll have to listen to the others, with no baby, I have no idea... But I had to comment to admire your little one, she's gorgeous. x
What a gorgeous little girl you have! If you knit for her projected size, you might get 2 winters worth of wear out of the sweaters.
Well, my guess is that a thin child will remain a thin child. But all three of mine are "robust": 95th percentile at birth and off the charts in height AND weight throughout their first year, then just off the charts in height thereafter. I think bulky sweaters are probably more flattering on a thin child than on a beefy one! She's a doll, if you ask me!
Oh, what an adorable doll! I have one tall and skinny kid (just like his mom), who is an amazing runner at age nine, and one who hit 14 pounds at four weeks and just kept going (he's seven now and I just signed him up for football). You can always make a smaller size and add a little length to accommodate her svelte build. I always have to do that for my nine year old, and they turn out fine.
What a cutie!
