Look who's growing!

Little Miss Teresa is getting so big! We had her into the doctor last week due to a cold and she weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz already. She's gaining more than an ounce a day. At this rate, she'll catch up to Isaac soon. At almost two we're still not sure if Isaac has hit the 20 pound mark! We think Teresa is going to be tall like Marie, too. She's already outgrowing the length in some of her 0-3 clothing. She's in the 80th percentile and that was a move up from her birth length. We get a kick out of everyone's height. At the Christmas concert, Marie lined up third, the tallest girl behind two boys. Faith lined up third from the end, one of the shortest. Jaci was somewhere in the middle. Lily is also average, and Isaac is not even on the growth chart because he's so small. He's just now starting to outgrow his 18 month clothing. Despite all of our kids looking alike, they vary so much in their build! It's just a reminder of how different they all are with their personalities. Speaking of personalities, Lily said the cutest thing today. She came downstairs after getting dressed in jeans (she NEVER wears jeans due to her sensory issues) and a sparkly shirt. She had just brushed her hair and teeth. I told her she looked beautiful and she said, "Yeah, I look just like a mom." I asked her what moms look like and she said, "Moms look fancy and beautiful." Ahhh...

Getting so big and long. Teresa is starting to give us big, goofy smiles. Here she is smiling at Marie, who picked her up after she woke up and was crying.

Another smile from Teresa. Chris worked half of the day outside trying to clear the 13 1/2 inches we got on Friday. The kids were able to start their Christmas break a day early. Marie, Jaci and Faith make a gingerbread house. We still haven't assembled it since Lily acciently knocked the base to the floor and it shattered into a million pieces.
