Romeo Sorrentino was flooding Instagram with his take on growing children. The reality star posted one of those special moments of those children growing bigger and dreaming bigger with an expression of just that. The shot depicts a child before a mirror, clad in a pinkish violet top and floral print pants, with some adult kneeling down beside the child, rendering the entire scene so warm.

That post evoked deep feelings of love and nostalgia within followers, who flocked to the comment section. One gushed, “Romeo is getting too big!!! Mia Bella is looking more like Lauren and Luna is all you, Sitch! Such precious babes.” Another declared, “The girls look like you & the guy looks like her,” thus starting a mini-discussion of which parent looked more like which child. Another fan jokingly commented about the kids’ expressions: “That little face is a serious situation lol.”
On a more serious note, some talked about the… “time they had with their children.” Others said, “Hang onto these stages! They go by so fast!” while another shared the bittersweet feeling: “My only one is now a teen… driving and planning to live away from us… my heart is breaking… enjoy every single minute!”
Since The Situation has been extremely open about his own experience of fatherhood, he obviously treasures such milestones. Prior to this, he wrote, “Seeing your children get bigger and smarter every day is such a special feeling,” kind of a reminder that, no matter what else is going on, parenting is the best adventure ever. Judging by the enormity of the response, it looks like folks are soaking in every inch of the update.
There have been a handful of followers pushing them in jest to try for another baby: “When are you having your 4th baby? 1 more baby will make it complete, nice round number!” Just shows the Sorrentino clan is by no means short of friends.
Something about the kids’ clothes, their personalities beginning to shyly emerge from their little shells, or just the shared serendipity of watching them bloom was a massive healing and reaffirming act for Mike. Given the comments, it looks like the fans will be there every step along the way—no gym, tan, or laundry required!
