Kim Kardashian Digs Up Blackberry Gems for North West’s 12th Birthday
Nothing says “mother of the year” quite like a curated collection of ancient BlackBerry snapshots, and Kim Kardashian has delivered just that for daughter North West’s 12th birthday. On June 15, the SKIMS mogul unearthed a treasure trove of throwbacks, featuring North as a newborn swaddled tighter than a burrito, a toddler nap snuggled into mom, and a mini fur-clad North tickling the ivories. It’s comforting proof that if you have enough disposable income, nostalgia can be served on demand.
Kim’s post rolled out with a final shot of her manicured hands adorned in gold rings spelling N-O-R-T-H—because nothing says “I remember your name” better than luxury jewelry. “My little baby North turns 12 years old today,” Kim captioned, following up with an earnest confession: “We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small. It’s been the most special calling being your mom. I love you forever and got you forever my bubs.” It appears that a lifetime supply of mobile storage can indeed become a sentimental goldmine.
Meanwhile, Grandma Kris “Lovey” Jenner made sure to chime in with a tribute that read like a promotional brochure for young talent. “Happy birthday to my beautiful, kind, funny, talented, and wildly creative granddaughter North West!!! From the moment you were born, you’ve marched to the beat of your own drum… fearless and with such a love for life,” she declared on Instagram. She continued to praise North’s “incredible spirit” and “brilliant mind,” which is exactly how you know it’s a genuine grandma shout-out and not product placement for an upcoming art show.
In between hashtags and heart emojis, Kim also reflected on an unexpected bonus: a sudden upswing in maternal affection following her divorce from Kanye West. In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim noted that North had spent a year being “mad at me,” only to re-emerge as her biggest fan post-divorce. “North is obsessed with me now and calls me with her friends,” Kim told sister Kourtney on camera. “Like, ‘Mom, I love you. You’re the best mom, I love you so much.’” Divorce: 1, Teenage angst: 0.
Of course, this tribute wouldn’t be complete without a quick nod to North’s past birthday blowouts. From anime-themed parties to “cereal killers” Halloween costumes, the youngest Kardashian has already mastered the art of extravagant themed events. In short, North’s childhood has been documented more thoroughly than any National Geographic special.
So there you have it: another milestone marked with priceless family photos and multi-million-dollar marketing synergy. If you weren’t convinced that celebrity parenting is an Olympic sport, feast your eyes on this digital scrapbook.
