Taller and taller

Both of the girls have gone through growth spurts lately. We know this for a number of reasons. First, Lucy is eating everything in sight. It is not unusual for her to eat a waffle, a couple of scrambled eggs, half a banana, a cup of milk and a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast, and then be starving half an hour later. Her long sleeved tops are getting too short and some of her pants are suddenly looking like skinny-style pants, but too short and those that have been huge on her all fall are now fitting nicely. The way Lucy knows that she is growing can be summed up in the proclamation, "I can reach the light switch now! I did it, I can turn on the light all by myself!!"

Harper is growing, too. She isn't exactly eating much more, but what she is eating is higher calorie and I think it might be paying off. Her pants are all suddenly fitting and her 12 month clothes (yes, she has still been in 12 month clothes!) are too small. Finally, she is wearing all of her cute 18 month clothes that have been filling her closet and drawers for months. For Harper, the evidence is in the fact that she can reach things on the counter in the bathroom and she can climb up on the toy boxes and Lucy's bed in their room. Trouble for me, success for her- you can say it is a growing concern.
