Question Help! Banana leaves getting smaller!

I've noticed that on some of my banana plants, each new leaf is coming out smaller! The plants were overwintered in a sunny room, and continued growing slowly throughout the winter.

Once they went outside this spring, they started growing much faster, but with smaller and smaller leaves, which is the opposite to what I had expected. All new leaves are a very healthy green colour.

Could this just be due to shock or stress at going back into the sun? Or does it sound like some other issue or known problem? I have not fertilized them yet, maybe they're looking for a good feeding?

Thanks,

~Joe
