I was looking at the Santa photo from last December just last night and got twelve kinds of verklempt. It blows my mind that BigBrother has gone from looking like a large toddler to looking like a little boy in what feels like overnight.

The transformation was even more mind-blowing recently when he lost his two front teeth.

He went from this:

Two Front Teeth

To this:

Two Front Teeth

In about two minutes. And no, I didn’t do it. Gag.

His face looks older. In fact, he just seems older the past two days. It’s like I have an entirely different child in my house all of a sudden. Factor in the point that he sounds different because of his missing-teeth-induced lisp, and I’m just confused by the instant transformation. I look at him and my jaw kind of drops.

School picture day is next week, so this gap will be forever captured as a reminder of who he was at the beginning of Kindergarten. Not that I won’t be doing my own capturing, of course.

  1. Losing teeth is kind of like the first haircut. Both seem to take them to that next step, instantly adding age on to such a small child when weren’t they just babies yesterday?

  2. You know what’s neat? We get to see it…BigBrother is growing by leaps and bounds and is absolutely adorable (like his mama!)

  3. My son is 13 now. If we show him pics from just a year ago he can’t believe it’s him. He is tall and grows a ton every 6 months. It’s amazing to show him his baby pics when he was so chubby. He is a total rail because he grows so fast. lol

    It’s cool to show them pictures and they don’t believe it’s them.
