You don’t have to be a parent to know that the saying “time goes by so fast” when it comes to kids is very true. If you’ve tuned into reality shows, followed certain celebrities on social media or found yourself oohing and aahing at a celebrity baby reveal, it’s quite the mind warp when you look up and the children you watched who were once itty bitty things turn out to not be so little anymore. They’re heading off to prom, starting college, and strutting down runways despite the fact that we remember them as babies. This thing called life!
We’ve found ourselves asking more and more lately where the time went when it comes to celebrity offspring. Here are a few kids who have grown up right in front of our eyes.

Remember when Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Honsou’s son was a little boy with a bright smile and big afro? He still has both, he’s just not little anymore.

Remember the short-lived VH1 show Marrying the Game? We loved it! Cali Dream, rapper The Game and Tiffney Cambridge’s daughter, was just a toddler when it was on. Now she’s an 11-year-old successful child model, ripping runways.
