Jessica Alba’s latest family update is sweet like honey.

That’s because, as the actress and her husband Cash Warren’s kids—including son Hayes, 6, and daughters Haven, 12, and Honor, 16, grow older—Jessica finds herself trying to hold onto the memories.

“They're so big,” she told E! News ahead of her show Honest Renovations’ Aug. 23 season two premiere. “I think that's the thing that's so wild is like they're just grown. Even though they’re 13 and 16, there's something about that. They're not little babies anymore.” (For more with Jessica and her Honest Renovations cohost Lizzy Mathis, tune into E! News tonight, August 22.)

In fact, Haven and Honor are old enough now that they’ve begun raiding their mother’s wardrobe—as evidenced by their appearance in Jessica’s former red carpet looks for the June 28 screening of their mom’s new Netflix film Trigger Warning.

It was a moment so poignant, that Jessica said, “It brings tears to my eyes.”

But don’t remind the 43-year-old that her oldest is almost approaching high school graduation—“Please don’t say that,” Jessica joked—because after all, she’s still grappling with the fact Honor is old enough to have a drivers license.
