Can you believe the 2 1/2 year old in the top picture is the exact same child as the 8 year old in the bottom picture? They don’t even look alike.

I’m hooking this entry up once more with the Memories Captured project over on These Little Waves and Mama Wants This with effects and text added using Picnik‘s free online software.

Jessie Powell is the Jester Queen. She likes to tell you about her dog, her kids, her fiction, and her blog, but not necessarily in that order. |
She and Sam look alike from one picture to the next, though. (Don't tell him I said that.)
Don't worry! He's a sister worshipper! His goal right now is to grow up and be her.
How precious that you have the bubble pictures from the same angle so many years later. Yes, your little guy has the look now … and loves that he is a fan of his big sister!
He adores her to the point that it's cloying. She never had jealousy of him when he was born. But she's starting to develop it now, partially because when he's around she doesn't ever really get her own space like she needs and deserves. He, of course, doesn't understand why big sis doesn't want to spend every everloving minute playing with him.
Wow! She has really grown up! We love bubbles at our house too.
A favorite conversation goes like this:
Me: Who told you you could get so big?
Her: Granddaddy!
Me: That granddaddy. I'm going to have words with him. Your direct orders were to stay SMALL!
Oh my, so very big, so very fast!
{I absolutely love how you did this!}
When I was putting in the dates, I nearly DIED when I realized it had been SIX YEARS since we took that picture.
It goes by so fast…. great pictures!
Yes, it does indeed. I think the thing I notice most is the absence of those adorable chubby cheeks. (Not that the elongated growing up face is less beautiful – just that the difference is so striking when I look at her face.)
What a sweet retake – crazy how fast it goes!
And yet, some days, it feels like it will never end!
I love photo comparisons of children – it's amazing how quick they grow!!
Oh and bubbles – we're fascinated with them over here!
One summer, Scott's sister brought up a recipe for making GIANT bubbles on a family vacation. Those suckers were HUGE.
Aww how times flew us by isn't? But yes bubbles rocks our worlds and will always bring joys 😀
It's amazing how long it entertains them both, still. I think they were out there chasing the things for forty or more minutes the day of that second picture, and I know that by the time I took the first one, Caroline was well into her second HOUR of making my mother in law blow bubbles for her.
They change so fast! I almost did a bubble picture too. I love that you captured a bubble in the picture. Lovely girl.
We didn't expect the bubbles to come out in the first picture – it was a predigital shot that we mailed away for development. It was a complete surprise when they did. We have half a roll like that, but this was far and away the best one. Of course, with the digital camera, I knew exactly what I was getting on the followup!
It is AMAZING how much they change as they grow!
I know – I barely even recognize them in pictures, and yet I know exactly who they are.
I guess she's never lost her love of bubbles! Excellent pictures 🙂
No, she hasn't. I suppose she never will!
