Illustrator type scaling

I'm creating a word out of a number of different typefaces, I've created a text box for each individual letter so I can quickly alter the typeface used and the size so it fits with the baseline and cap height of the other letters. When I try and scale the individual letters, rather than scaling like InDesign (keeping the bottom fixed in place and in the direction dragged), it moves the bottom up as if it were magnifying it from a point. This is incredibly difficult to explain but I've tried to attempt this in the images attached below. I don't know if there's a quick fix to this or this is an unsolvable 'quirk' of illustrator. I know I could create outlines but this removes the ability to quickly edit the letters. It's not a huge problem but having to resize it and then move it every time is incredibly frustrating and takes about double the time.

I hope this makes at lease vague sense!

Blue lines are baseline and cap height

When resized the baseline of the textbox moves off the point I've placed it on.
