“Twinning and winning,” Padma captioned a Feb 16 Instagram post where the ladies posed in matching jumpsuits. “Littlehands had the day off of school so we took my new Christmas skates out for a spin… I guess we were effortless at some point but I don’t have evidence of that portion of the afternoon.”
And it’s clear the bond between the two is a special one, as Padma wished her mini me a happy birthday last month with a touching tribute as she enters her teenage years.
“My dear sweet girl! I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since I gave birth,” she wrote in part on Instagram Feb. 20 along a video montage of the pair. “Willing yourself into this world, you’ve been the greatest joy of my life. Of course I love you with all my heart but I also really like you! You have a wicked sense of humor. There’s no one I’d rather spend time with, no one I’d rather laugh with or cry with.”
She concluded the sweet post, “Light of my life, you keep me grounded and sane and never let me take myself too seriously. Happy 13th birthday to my favorite teenager!!”
