Bindi Irwin’s daughter Grace Warrior is growing up way too fast, and we are not OK! The adorable 3-year-old stole her uncle Robert Irwin’s glasses for a quick photo, and somehow she looks ready to start kindergarten!
“Uncle life for me! ☺️” Robert captioned the cute photo on Instagram. The 20-year-old son of the late Steve Irwin and his wife Terri holds Grace in his arms. She’s wearing cozy footsie pajamas in a pink elephant print, as she hangs out in his arms like she’s sitting on a chair. Grace has a grown-up pair of black glasses on, which she holds to her face with both hands. She smiles for the picture, with her unruly brown hair — which is getting so long! —hanging in loose curls around her shoulders. I don’t know if it’s the angle she’s sitting or the glasses or something else, but this girl is 3 going on 6, and it’s wild to see! Wasn’t she just a tiny baby?
Fans also couldn’t believe how much Grace has grown. “She’s a big girl! When did that happen?” one person wrote. Another said, “Can anyone tell me where the time has gone? In this picture, Grace looks more grown than ever. ???????????? Little warrior already so big.”
“omg there’s no way she’s grown up this much! whatttttt!!! ????????” (We feel the exact same!)
Bindi and Terri shared some love for this picture as well. Bindi wrote, “Thank you for being the best uncle and brother. We love you!” Aww! And Terri commented, “Grace loves you so much!”
Last month, the Australia Zoo CEO shared then-and-now photos of her daughter with Robert and Bindi’s husband Chandler Powell. “Three years between these two photos. ???? My. Heart,” Bindi captioned the pictures. The first one shows a baby Grace in a little camping chair sitting in between Robert and Powell, and the second one shows Grace now, in a much bigger toddler camping chair. It’s not OK for her to grow up this fast!
In an interview on the Australia Zoo’s YouTube page last week, Bindi opened up about how her daughter Grace will “probably” be her only child, although she does not like that term. “I do not like the word ‘only,’” she explained. “Grace is our child. She is our one beautiful, perfect, amazing little girl. And, oh my goodness, every single day I think about how lucky we are to have her.”
