my grown up nephew

The goofy picture above is of my nephew, Cedric. I just can't believe how much he has grown the past two years. The last time I saw him was year 2008 during my vacation in the Philippines that year. Looking at his picture right now makes me feel like I am really getting old. Geez! He is actually 12 years old now and he is almost as tall as his father (my brother) who is about 5'7". I was really taken aback looking at this picture which is by the way Cedric's profile image on his facebook.
He is almost a teenager and like all typical teens, he is also having some problems with acne now and then. He requested me in one of our phone conversations to buy him acne pills, and I was like: "Are you serious?" He said that he just doesn't want to deal with this pesky facial problems. I told him not to worry about it since that's part of growing up unless it's going to be worse. But for now, I just told him just leave them be. Wow, my nephew has really grown up! Where did time go?
