SSD Kids

[KristinCB]

Does it ever floor you how we are watching soo many kids grow up right here on the forums?

I remember so many of your kids being little things and now they're big kids - or even in some cases teens!

It's just pretty crazy to me to think about

Maybe we could share pics from the age they would have been when you joined SSD and now?

[Jjriward]

I'm new here, but I love this idea. Can't wait to see the pics that are shared!

Great idea! It's so funny to me how many of the SSD kids I recognize without seeing names... I'd probably recognize some of them before I'd recognize their mamas!

My youngest, wasn't even thought of when I first joined SSD in 2007, but here's Kendra Grace. She would've been 9 at the time. She's 16 now.



And this was taken over Christmas break this year.



And here's one from a couple of months ago of Chloe (age 2) feeding daddy some ice cream. (just cause I can't stand to leave her out. LOL)

[hollyxann]

Kennedy was nonexistent when I joined SSD lol so y'all have seen her literally grow from fetus to baby belly to toddler. *tears* I'll post pictures tomorrow morning when I get on the computer.

When I joined SSD Katie was 8 and Hannah was 5. I can't find pics from that year (on my old EHD) but these were about 1 year later.

Katie


Hannah

I'll bite and I'll do it scrapbook style...

My kids in 2009 when I first joined...



And now...

[Traci Reed]

OK, so I had Finn while I was working here, so here's a before and after that effectively describes that ETA: This is when I started working at SSD, not when I joined

[Misty Cato]

I love these! I'll post soon.

[misfitinmn]

Going by my join date of June 2009, this was Ben (Matthew wasn't even a glimmer on the horizon at this point!):

(ps - you're welcome for the nose picking picture!)

And this is Ben now:



I think that is one of the coolest things about this hobby and community - getting to see peoples kids and families grow and change! I love it!!

[hollyxann]

Ok so since Kennedy was born an SSD kid I found it only fitting to post an ultrasound pic, birth and now.

[nun69]

I certainly remember when Libby found out she was pregnant with Chloe!!!!!!! and who can FORGET Kennedy's birthday

[hollyxann]

I remember when Libby found out she was pregnant too.

It's funny Kennedy is 1 yr and 1 day older than Chloe.

I joined in June of 2007 when this little dude was 2-1/2:


and this one wasn't even one year old yet:


These two beauties were both born after that, one in 2009 and one in 2011, so they are true SSD babies:

[MommaTrish]

I joined in September 2008 (this would be the boys then) - boys would be 4 and 2


I didn't become active until January 2010, making the kids 5, 4, and 9(ish) months


and now they're 9, 8, 4, and 2. lol (though the 4 year old turns 5 next week, and the 9 year old 10 in June)

I TOLD LIBBY SHE WAS PREGNANT and she said something along the lines of "No way, not possible."

[nesser1981]

I'll have to grab pictures tomorrow. Keira was like 18 months when I joined. Cooper & Harper hadn't even been thought of yet. She'll be 9 next month.

I joined in February 2007 (when the site opened?) which was a month before I met my husband...

so here's my daughter then:



Oh, here's my son, too:





Here she is now at 4 1/2:



& here's my son at 34 1/2 weeks gestated:

[Libby Pritchett]

LOL It's hard for me to admit when I'm wrong about something, but there's no denying I was wrong about being pregnant. I even laughed at the nurse and told her that wasn't it. Told her I'd take the test just to rule it out so that we could move on to finding out what the problem was.

NO ONE was more surprised than me when that blue line showed up. I'll never ever ever forget that day as long as I live. LOL (and now I'm SO glad I was wrong!)

[haydensmommy217]

Here is Hayden at 6 months old


Here he is at 8 years old


I have been here since just right after opening (couldn't for the life of me remember what my old username was)

[KristinCB]

Ok from the forum date here is lily in 2007 and now..



Again like many Lucas wasn't even thought of here is from when he was born (with lily) and from his 6th bday in march..

[breakingbrie]

This is then, I started in April 2008


And now so big

I thought I'd die when I found out I was pregnant with Harper.

I joined SSD when it first opened in 2006 and here is a current pic. LOL

[KristinCB]

julie you win the award for THAT'S INSANE!

[Julie Billingsley]

Jacob is about to graduate college now, so he's totally living up the grungy hipster look right now before he has to clean up for getting a job Back in the first pic he was in 8th grade!

[KristinCB]

lol i wasn't meaning his appearance or anything just the wow you have a grown man LOL!

[rach3975]

What a trip down memory lane! I was here browsing on opening day (was that Feb 2007? 2006?) but I'll go with my forum join date of Dec 2007. I'll admit right now to my laziness; I'm going to do it cutest-photos-already-in-the-gallery style and get within a few months of my join date.

Jason in Feb 2008, at 4:


Ben in Feb 2008, shortly before he turned 2:


Lauren was born a year after I joined, but here she is her first year:



And all 5 of us in Oct 2013:

[Misty Cato]

[KristinCB]

I know! It's crazy. I have no idea where the time went!

[adi&co.]

When i first joined SSD, it was years ago and I was not very active, so I'm sure nobody remembers me from then, but I'm still playing catch up of the pics from back then so I actually have more pages with pics of my boys back then then I have of them now days.

then:


now:

[tuneskids]

This was my kiddos, roughly, when I joined November 2007. Cody would have been 12, Jenna 8, Xander 5, and Quinten 2.


Today, Cody is 19, Jenna 15, Xander 11, and Quinten is 9.


Cody lives on his own, I had to "borrow" this from his Facebook.

This is Jenna, Xander, & Quinten this past Christmas, with our "new" fur-baby Heidi.

Love all the pictures ladies! Such beautiful souls!

This was the first LO I posted at SSD. He was 3!



And here's the latest ones. He's 7 now! (And he still wants to sit in my lap!)

[nietis]

Love looking at this thread!! How time went fast and they all grown up!
I joined in 2009 and I haven't had my baby yet… it was just the TWO of us; hubby and me. My first page uploaded here was about waiting my little bundle of joy:


And this is him now… almost 2! *sniff*

[Jenn Barrette]

this thread is awesome

[nun69]

this thread is ♥

[Lelly]

omg, so cute!

edited to say... thanks for making me extra broody when I really do not need it right now. Haha.

[julifish]

Love all of our SSD babies. Such cuties!
Plus we have quite a few new babies who just joined us or are joining us soon.

[jacinda]

[MissKim]

My first SSD receipt is dated February 2006. [The forum says I signed up in March 2007, but I think that was a forum upgrade.] Here's the group photo I have closest to that date:



And the most recent photo with all 3 (plus me):



I've been at SSD a long time... I remember the day it opened. So fun to look back and see the growth in my kids, too.

[Gemma]

It's hard to get photos of my eldest as he hates the camera so none of him lol

Here's Harry, he would have been around 4 and a half when I joined and he's 8 and a half now





And Charlie was born an SSD kid lol, he's 15 months now

From this


To this

[Tracyfish]

I swear he doesn't even look like the same kid sometimes.
age 2 vs. age 8

[tanyiadeskins]

I lost all my pics several times over, so here is the oldest lo here of all three of them in 2009. Kayla would have been 16, Samantha 11, and Becca 8.



and a PL page with a pic take a couple weeks ago, ETA Kayla is now 21, Sam 15, and Beck 12

[nikkiARNGwife]

Avery was an itty bitty 2 when I joined SSD back in May 2007 and now he's nearly 9!



and then Ella came along in Dec. 2008 and she is now 5 and starting Kindy this fall!

[sarahbhb]

Oh fun!

I joined in January 2010, here is Liz at 8yo (pre glasses and everything)


And here she is last month just a few days after her 13th! birthday.


I love how some things don't change. She's still a big reader and it totally cracked me up when I was looking at the second picture and noticed that she had a second book tucked under her arm, I guess as a back up for when she finished her current read.

[NeverendingJen]
