Exegesis
The dual noun shadayim {שָׁדַיִם | šā-ḏā-yim} ‘breasts’ with the Nifal perfect nakhonu {נָכֹנוּ | nā-ḵō-nû} marks physical formation, and the phrase usearekh tsimeach {וּשְׂעָרֵךְ צִמֵּחַ | u-šə-‘ā-rêḵ ṣi-mē-aḥ} ‘and your hair grew’ further signals maturation.
In context — Ezekiel 16:7
I made you a multitude like a sprout of the field; you multiplied and grew and came into the fullness of adornments. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you remained naked and bare.
