Fans of Today were treated to a sweet surprise on Tuesday, April 30, when the show posted a handful of baby photos of some of its most prominent cast members.
The morning broadcast teamed up with Gerber to promote this year's search for its Chief Growing Officer, "jump[ing] in on the fun" with a series of "adorable throwback pics," and we imagine looking them over evokes a similar feeling to when you run into one of your teachers outside of school—a little unreal.
Meteorologists Al Roker, 69, and Dylan Dreyer, 42, co-host Sheinelle Jones, 46, and anchor Craig Melvin, 44, were all a part of it, with a screenshot of them sitting next to one another around a glass table on the show's set arranged above their respective baby photos, none of which seemed to have been taken above the age of two.
Roker's snapshot was a blurry black-and-white rendering, where the tot version of the television personality donned one of his beloved fedoras.
Next, Jones offered a gummy smile for the camera, a cute little bow sitting atop her head.
Melvin, who the team joked "looks exactly the same," smiled brightly at the camera, showing off his baby teeth.
Finally, Dreyer gave a sassy, over-the-shoulder look at the camera.
Fans were delighted by the little glimpse at their childhoods, though not everyone was convinced they were legit.
"Cant believe this is real ??," one wrote in response.
"Congratulations to all, good aging??," another joked.
Several begged for Melvin's secrets in particular, with one writing, "Craig needs to drop the skincare routine asap!"
"We need Craig’s anti-aging secret!! All adorable!! ????," said another.
Others pointed out how Roker has barely changed.
"Al was wearing hats even back then! ??," one wrote, while another pointed out that he was "giving the side eye to someone!"
Roker is, of course, well-known for his sassy demeanor, often poking fun at his colleagues, and it's clear that's been with him from the start!
