Starlet has now grown 13cm since she moved in less than six months ago... Apparently two and a half years average growth!!!
i am taking it as a sign that she feels safe and settled :-) well that and the massive food bills are paying dividends lol - can't keep up with her fruit addiction!
She is barely recognizable from the little waif who moved in here - she looks so much older, has outgrown 3 lots of school uniform and just cost me a fortune in new shoes and boots!
Happy (but bankrupt) mummy!

Our Little Prince did this, he was in 9-12 month clothes (aged 19 months) when placed and seemed to zoom through the sizes until he was in the right size for his age. I always wondered if it was because he felt settled, and feel that is more likely now others have experienced the same  |

Fantastic but not for your bank balance  My AS did the same but slowed down after about 18 months. He was 7.5 years old when he came home but in clothes 4-5 years old. He also went through shoes sizes like no tomorrow. He is just now in age appropriate clothes Not sure about your little one but AS's hair grows so fast. Not good for a boy who likes it short! |

Yes she has had four proper hair cuts and a few extra fringe trims in between in less then six months lol. Luckily my lovely cousin is a hairdresser so that bit costs me peanuts!
