Alex Drummond has been sharing so many heartwarming moments with baby Sofia since welcoming her to the world two months ago. (How has it already been that long?!) But her latest Instagram stories capture the full experience of being a mom from the sweet and silly to the slightly chaotic.
First came a collection of adorable snapshots of her 8-week-old daughter making all kinds of expressions. "I'd like to title the following series 'the many faces of Sofia Marie,'" Alex wrote. We got to see everything from happy faces to... a-little-less-happy faces. 😂 This mini photoshoot was a reminder of just how much babies change by the minute—and how much fun Alex is having capturing it all!
"Hi, Mom!"
"What's going on?"
"Take one more photo... I dare you."
"Just kidding. I love you!"
One thing is for sure: This little girl has range! But, of course, life with a newborn isn't always sweet baby smiles.
Just a few posts later, Alex showed the other side of things: a clip of Sofia spitting up all over both of them. "I had to capture this chaos," Alex wrote. (Because really, what else can you do in that situation?)
Alex has shared glimpses of both the joys and challenges of new motherhood before. A few weeks ago, she shared an important message about social media, asking her followers not to compare themselves to what they see online. "Usually just posting her cutest moments hehe," she said. "Just a reminder that social media is the highlight reel!'
Whether she's showing us sleepy smiles or unexpected messes, Alex is giving a refreshingly honest look at life with a newborn. And every mom reading along knows exactly what that's like—including Ree! She's probably watching knowingly, reminiscing about her own early days of motherhood, and feeling pretty darn proud of her girl. (And laughing at all the chaos, if only just a little. 😂)
