Babies start to show off their first smile around 6 to 8 weeks of age. Some newborns look like grumpy little old people — in a good way — because both very young and very old people have too much skin for the bone underneath.
These babies may still be brand new in the world, but some of them look like they’ve endured decades of hard living.
Among the talent are infants with fearsome scowls, seemingly receding hairlines and expression lines probably deeper than those of their grandparents. Anyway babies are miracles to all of us, no matter what they look like, and we wanted to celebrate 16 infants that remind us of our grandparents.
“Kayley, honey, would you go in the kitchen and make Pop-Pop a plate?”
“Here’s me 32 years ago looking like a bad-tempered octogenarian.”
“Telling my newborn son how much I love him”
“At 2 days old, my daughter has perfected the ’Are they using my driveway to turn around?’ look.”
As for the hilarious frowns and droopy-eyed gazes, which lend the tots a grumpy grandpa appearance, this is common for babies as they exercise their facial muscles before they are able to smile, at anywhere from one to three months.
“Only 10 weeks old and the diva is showing. I think we’re in trouble.”
“Apparently, when I was a few days old, I was very suspicious of my Nan…”
“I gave birth to the grumpiest baby. What do I win? Attitude.”
“Here for the liver and onions…”
“My son is a grumpy old man that is tired of his father.”
Parents are sharing photos of their babies that ended up looking like old men, and the pictures are too cute.
“Years and years of being addicted to milk has caught up with him.”
“I’ve been using my nephew as reaction pictures.”
“You look like Todd from Breaking Bad.”
“My 3-week-old daughter reminds me of an old aunty that always judges you.”
“That is the oldest man’s face I’ve ever seen on a baby.” Many of the babies have wrinkled foreheads – which is actually, in most cases, the result of being born premature or with a low birth weight.
“My son must have been a mob boss in a past life.”
When looking at pictures of cute babies online, it’s easy to believe that all of them are born looking absolutely adorable. However, the reality is that sometimes people’s babies end up looking more tiny old men, rather than the cute munchkins that their parents were expecting.
