We can’t help but smile when we see Jeannie Mai’s daughter Monaco. The 2-year-old absolutely radiates the kind of pure joy that we wish we always had (especially on a Monday!), and the new photos of her are just too sweet to handle.
In the first photo, Mai sits on a turquoise skateboard and her daughter sits on a turquoise scooter. Monaco — who is affectionately known as Coco or Cokie — leans on her moms leg, propping her head up with her little fist, and has the biggest smile that reaches her eyes.
“And the category is … wheels,” Mai captioned her post which consisted of photos of her and her mini-me riding their respective wheels.
“Olympics here we come!” she continued. “West coast best coast huh Cokie????”
Followers were just as in love with the mother-daughter duo and Monaco’s adorable smile. “Team Monaco???? ????????,” one fan said.
“What a babydoll! What a way to speak without saying a word!” another said, because that grin and the smooch the two share at the end says everything.
And on it went:
“She is such a beautiful little girl ????” “Her energy matches yours Jeannie!” “Please let me nibble on that child,” another said, and we have to agree — she’s so freaking delicious!
And fans don’t just love the toddler’s smile. They also love her voice! Earlier this month, Mai shared a video of Coco learning how to yell, “Surprise!” and people couldn’t get over her adorable “little raspy voice.”
“Coco’s raspy voice ????,” one person commented, to which Mai responded, “‘suhhPWIZZE????,’” copying her kiddo.
Months after Mai welcomed Monaco with ex Jeezy, she wrote an emotional Instagram post, “Nobody told me it was going to be like THIS. This one little person could rewind time, reboot all my emotions, and help me learn what I need to unlearn??”
And on her tot’s first birthday in 2022, Mai said her daughter “forever changed the trajectory of her life.”
“Your adorable giggle and dance moves to anything MJ ???? remind me to cherish the simple things, and your defiance inspires me to face my challenges with courage. You brought a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment into my existence ????.”
Mai later admitted that she cried while writing that caption and it makes us teary-eyed reading it. But don’t worry — we can just look back at Coco on her scooter and immediately start smiling again.
