Ho Ho No

Candycane headbands? How original. Kaavia James could think of 100 more things she'd rather be doing than prancing around a stage with other people's children. (Seriously, check Mom's caption.)

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade started posting pics of 3-year-old daughter Kaavia's amazing expressions from a young age, dubbing her "Shady Baby." Her looks even inspired the couple to write a children's book of that name in early 2021.

"We hope to give the word 'shady' a more positive association and use it to represent one's moral compass to do the right thing and stand up for themselves and others," the couple told PEOPLE. "It's important that little Black girls and boys get to see themselves in these fairy tales and for children of other races to see us in leadership roles."

Serving 'Shady Baby'

There's no sugarcoating when it comes to Kaavia overseeing her mom's photo shoots. Pic one is giving: skeptical but I'll let her do her thing. Pic two is Kaavia letting her mom serve while she keeps a close eye on the photographer. Pic three? She's been moved on. NEXT!!

Front, Back, Side-to-Side Shade

No, she's not trying to serve side-profile realness (although she 100 percent is). The boss baby is just not interested in you.

Get Into It

She's a tough cookie on the outside, and soft and sweet on the inside. "Always a vibe," as Mom joked here.

The viral photo that started it all is so iconic, and will never get old. As Beyoncé would say, "You know you that [baby] when you cause all this conversation."
