The Hub and I both noticed over the weekend she must have hit a spurt again. Her face is starting to firm up with features. The jeans from the start of school that we had to belt on to her are now tight.

I think it is because you take on the mannerisms and expressions and such. Many times I get dressed, then I get the girls dressed, then I realize I put us all in the same basic thing. Jeans and a blue t- shirt for example.

I grew fast, but nothing like these kids (mine, and the above) have. But, Genea never complained. Of course, she was really crabby for a long time.<br />People would squint at them in the beginning and say, are they identical twins? I remember Genea's therapist did say she looked a little like Teena and they were close to the same size. I think the pics must highlight their similarities. I don't remember noticing they looked so so so much the same.The Accidental Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409271721074309249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-78580150144164599712009-06-02T03:09:19.320-05:002009-06-02T03:09:19.320-05:00Well... it is so unbelievably noticeable that I al...Well... it is so unbelievably noticeable that I also have to repeat what everyone said about them looking alike because it is clear that you are KEEPING SOMETHING FROM US in that regard. How the heck did you make that happen? And didn't you say you'd just HEARD about her case? Or did people say, "Wow; there is this case and the little girl looks just like yours?" If they didn't I can't believe why they didn't - curls and all. It is really, really amazing.<br /><br />Also, it is noteworthy how adorable they both are. And they look happy! Who would know there is such drama behind that camera lens?<br /><br />And I know just what you mean!

And regarding what you said about it being okay to talk about how gorgeous Genea is b/c you didn't "make" her, I have this problem lately of saying "I know" instead of "thank you" when people tell me that Beatrix is cute. I don't know what's wrong with me. I was so embarrassed the first time I said it and it keeps happening. So I guess I am just a little bit tacky.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554195760602365553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-70228620478550765212009-06-01T18:50:31.147-05:002009-06-01T18:50:31.147-05:00They are both cute -- and wow, do they ever look l...They are both cute -- and wow, do they ever look like biological sisters!<br /><br />Love the Paris Hilton pose!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992203896914180674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-45892644958346935022009-06-01T18:13:27.992-05:002009-06-01T18:13:27.992-05:00I enjoyed seeing all the pictures.

Genea...Both your girls are beautiful and precious. Genea's growth and change is amazing. Reminds me of our boys adopted from Ukraine. They each grew almost a foot the first year. To answer your question about whether such fast growth hurts, our boys would often complain that first year that their legs were aching. My dad finally told me that it was probably their bones aching from growing so fast. Genea's growth looks to have been about as dramatically fast. Wasn't it incredible to watch? She also looks like she got healthier and healthier throughout that time as well as springing up.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802465316673594087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-87107080031710888742009-06-01T15:47:57.524-05:002009-06-01T15:47:57.524-05:00They are both absolutely adorable!

Amazing! <br /><br />I enjoy when people tell me how beautiful my girls are and I can go along and agree with them. Feels kind of funny, but like you, (with Genea) I played absolutely no hand in their making and I know they are gorgeous.<br /><br />My girls will occasionally wake up during the night with sore ankles or calves and tell me they hurt. Not so much anymore but early on it happened often. I believe growing so quickly CAN hurt.
