Grading shorts pattern to fit?

So my son has this problem....he has no hips and no butt. Seriously, there is only .5in difference between his waist and his pants. NONE of his pants fit, unless they are elastic all the way around, and I'd like him to have some proper pants. So, I obviously need to step in and sew him some, lol! I haven't made pants before, but I'm sure I can tackle the sewing. But, I'm nervous about how to get the right fit.


He's nearly 5, and wears a 5 in most things I've made (shirts). His hip measurements put him in 18-24 mos. size. Can I just lengthen the 18-24 mos size? Or will that be ridiculous? I'm not sure how to go about it at all, really. Help!
