Can you say, "Awwwww"?
For the past eight years, we've watched the girls and the children of the Teen Mom series grow up before our eyes. We've watched their pitfalls, their victories, tears of both joy and pain, weddings, divorces, and everything in between.
While we like to focus on the girls' in the present day and their parenting lifestyle, it's often fun to remember that the mothers and fathers were once young too! We rounded up an entire gallery of childhood photos from the cast of both Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 and we can't get over their cuteness!
Chelsea Houska
Holy cow, we couldn't have started this gallery off with a more precious photo. HOW ADORABLE is Chelsea in this photo?! We can't get enough of that sweet and innocent smile of hers.
Aubree Present Day
Sorry, but we couldn't resist. Aubree is Chelsea's mini me! Lucky for Aubree. If their current likeness is any foreshadowing to what Aubree will look like in sixteen years, she has a lot to look forward to!
Cole DeBoer
We couldn't include Chelsea and Aubree without including Cole DeBoer! Look how dashing this boy looks in that red bow tie! This just makes us that much more excited to see Watson as a toddler. That baby is going to look amazing.
Amber Portwood
Look at those bangs! Is it just us or do you get an extremely "nineties but heavily influenced by the (motherly) seventies" vibe? Don't worry Amber, it is over now.
Kailyn Lowell
Heart. Melting. Who would have guessed that Kailyn was such a cutie pie. To be completely honest, we are extremely obsessed with the flower necklace. She was way ahead of her time.
Kailyn Part 2
Same Kailyn, same amount of adorableness, just a tad bit older. This photo was posted back in the happier days of Javi and Kailyn's marriage. A little while after their wedding, Javi added this photo on his Instagram with the caption, "This is why I married her."
Jenelle Evans
A couple months ago, a teen mom fan page somehow got their hands on this picture of Jenelle that we've never seen! You can almost already see the attitude developing in her personality. Can you say "Jace look alike"?
Jenelle Part 2
Oh man. This may very well be our favorite photo in this whole gallery. There is something about the look on her face that is so familiar, and how cute are those buns?
Catelynn Lowell
OF COURSE Catelynn would wear a feather boa in her school pictures. We wonder how much convincing it took for her mother and teacher to allow her to wear it. How ever it happened, we're glad it did because she looks absolutely fabulous!
Tyler Baltierra
You can't have Catelynn in a gallery without including her hubby Tyler! You can really see the resemblance of Novalee in this photo. Any rumors about Catelynn's infidelity can be squashed!
Maci Bookout
Eeeeek! Our ovaries are melting!! Seriously, we know kids look like their parents when they're young, but the parents of the cast have some seriously strong genes. We can see each one of Maci's kids in this photo alone!
Ryan Edwards
Look at this tiny dapper version of Ryan Edwards! Makes you flash forward and think about what he's going to look like at his wedding with McKenzie in 2017! We can't wait to see him in a tux again!
Leah Messer
Aw Leah, what an adorable toe head you used to be. There is just something about a blonde hair'd, blue eyed baby that makes them look like complete angels.
Corey Simms
Would you have expected a photo of Corey that wasn't in a baseball uniform? What a slugger. Do you see the similarities of Ali and him? She really is a daddy's girl.
Farrah Abraham
Last, but definitely not least, can you guess who this is??? Farrah Abraham! Definitely an ugly duckling story if we ever heard one!
Let us know what you think about these lovely kiddos and be sure to SHARE this gallery!
