Growth Spurts
Growth spurts have hit the Whompton girls hard. Both kids have been showing the typical growth spurt signs: demands for more food and sleep, and bigger extremities (head, hands, feet). Raina's hands and feet have been noticeably growing -- they seem larger each day -- so we knew a sudden zoom in height would occur. And it did. Raina got up this morning, I looked at her and said "Sweetie, you're taller! Let's go measure!" Sure enough, she was.
Raina also complained about wearing shoes this morning. She said, "Each time I wear my shoes, my feet go to sleep." Well, yes, that makes sense based on how quickly her feet have been growing. So it's time to retire a pair of shoes that she's been wearing for ONE MONTH! Clearly Raina is following Stephanie's pattern of growth: zoom up as quickly as can be, and then stop around 5th grade. She even has Stephanie's body structure.
Lola's body structure is different: she's all limb (with little torso), nice long fingers and feet, smaller head. She's definitely my baby.
