Hey there, friends! If you're a fan of heartwarming family moments, you're going to love this story.

She wanted to show just how proud she is of the incredible young woman her daughter is becoming. It's not every day you see such sweet tributes, so let's dive in!
Lola's First Birthday: A Throwback to 2001
In her first post, Kelly shared a precious photo of her husband, Mark Consuelos, cradling a newborn Lola in his arms. This sweet moment was captioned with a heartfelt message: "TBT 2001 @instasuelos got the best #fathersday present in the form of Lola." It’s moments like these that remind us of the beauty of family and how quickly time flies. It’s almost hard to believe that this little bundle of joy has grown into a remarkable young woman!

A Second Throwback: The Belly Pic
Not stopping there, Kelly shared another nostalgic photo, this time showing Lola while she was still in her mom’s belly. In the picture, Kelly holds up one finger to the camera, and Mark is seen beaming with excitement as he holds Kelly’s stomach. The caption read, "Happy 17th birthday Lola!!! Since you refused all photo tributes I was forced to go deep within. With all our love." Can you feel the love? It’s evident how much Kelly cherishes these memories.
Now, you might be wondering why there aren’t any current photos of Lola. Well, it turns out that the 17-year-old has made her feelings on this topic pretty clear. Last year, Kelly appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and opened up about her daughter’s stance on social media. "I'm never allowed to post a photo of her—ever," Kelly joked. However, she admitted that she did break Lola’s rule when she posted a throwback picture of her daughter dressed up for Halloween with her two brothers.
