Keke Palmer is proving she’s the ultimate “Cool Mom” as she celebrated her son Leodis’ second birthday with a bash fit for a tiny king, complete with a bouncy house, live animals, and a surprise visit from Blippi!
The actress, singer, and podcast host, 31, flooded social media with adorable tributes to her “strong little boy,” showcasing the toddler’s milestone day in a series of playful Instagram posts.
The joint post on Leodis’ Instagram page offered a glimpse into the toddler’s festive birthday party, complete with all the trimmings for a memorable celebration. Professional photographs showcased a vibrant, bouncy house, a delightful petting zoo, and a lively atmosphere, proving that no expense was spared to make Leodis’ day special.
The toddler’s own Instagram account (yes, he’s already that cool) shared a collage of photos from the festivities. The caption said, “Happy Birthday TO MEEEEE!”
“I had the best birthday ever!! It started off with my mommy braiding my hair. She really annoyed me with that, but we were watching Nemo, so I was distracted enough.”
The proud mother also posted a heartfelt tribute on her Instagram featuring a series of photos and videos from the last two years. In the post, Palmer showcased a video of her styling her son’s hair and another clip of her kissing him on the cheek when he was a baby.
She also posted photos of herself and her son, including one in which they were both making silly faces by sticking out their tongues. Another image captured Palmer lying on the ground while he sat on her abdomen and gazed at the camera.
“My life can and will never be the same. You have made me who I will forever be, a MOTHA,” Palmer wrote in her caption. “Leodis, from the moment you were in my stomach, I knew you were a strong little boy. I could just feel it!”
“Even though you are no longer in my stomach, you are, in fact, my greatest strength,” she continued. “Idk if it’s telepathy or what, but you have taught me that I can do anything, and as long as you are watching, I promise I won’t let you down. Strong baby, strong mommy!!!”
Keke Palmer celebrated the arrival of a lovely baby boy with her partner, Darius Jackson, on February 25, 2023. Palmer humorously pointed out that their first child was born during Black History Month, which is reflected in his name, Leodis Andrellton Jackson. The couple’s first child, a dear Pisces, is affectionately called baby Leo by Keke.
