Like any proud mother, Nadya Suleman took to Instagram to wish her babies a happy birthday. The woman formerly known as Octomom uploaded a precious throwback photo of herself posing with some of her brood. The picture is adorable if a little crowded (seriously, there are a lot of babies on one couch), but the accompanying caption is where it gets extra sweet.
“Happy 13th birthday to Nariyah, Isaiah, Maliyah, Jeremiah, Noah, Josiah, Jonah, and Makai,” Suleman wrote. “You are all growing into some of the most kind, humble, grateful and loving human beings I have ever known. Each of you possess rare and unique characteristics, and are unlike any other child of your age, particularly in our society today.” She went on to describe the newly minted teens as “selfless, altruistic, nonmaterialistic, and loving, fearing, followers of God.”
Suleman called out their dedication to helping others. “I have never seen children who love and want to serve others, (particularly those less fortunate), so boldly and confidently like each and every one of you do,” she wrote. “I do not know what I could possibly have done to deserve being blessed so bountifully.” The octuplets and the rest of their siblings frequently appear on Suleman’s Instagram account, and it is unbelievable how much they’ve grown up over the years. Hopefully they enjoy their teens, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds.
