Consider writing short vignettes with the same characters...different scenes, different plots....to keep the characters fresh as well as deepening them, making them more real to the reader.
Experiment...put them on a sailboat, a cruise, visit to a doctor's office, shopping for clothes, attending a cooking class....god forbid, making love....accommodating as the other body changes.
Thank you for this, that makes a lot of sense, I think that would really help me to break out of the feeling of rehashing the same scenes.

Thanks for both of your feedback guys. Lilly definitely won't stop growing anytime soon I promise haha. I guess sometimes the problem I run across is the feeling that I am going to keep rehashing the same scenes over and over again, I guess that's where my job as a creative writer should come in haha.

So im writing my first FA story right now and I'm conflicted, on the one hand I've fallen in love with the characters and dynamic of their relationships so I just want to keep writing, on the other I don't want to ruin those very same things by getting carried away and writing until the story is pointless. Anyone else had a similar dilemma? If so, what was the conclusion you came to?
