Christina Haack went on a trip down memory lane on September 22 as she celebrated her only daughter's milestone birthday.
The Christina on the Coast star took to Instagram to share a photo montage of her firstborn, Taylor, as she turned 16.
The video featured a collection of images from throughout Taylor's life, including adorable photos of her as a little girl, and recent snapshots of her posing alongside her famous mom.
One particularly adorable picture featured Taylor as a young child kissing her mother's baby bump in a candid picture taken on the beach while Christina was pregnant with son Brayden, who is now 11.
Alongside the video, doting mom Christina paid tribute to her daughter on her big day with an emotional message. It read: "How is my baby girl 16??
"Taylor you make me so proud every single day. You work hard at everything you do, without being asked to. Straight As and excelling at soccer. You try hard and you just get it. "You are kind, smart, sweet, determined, an old soul and drop dead gorgeous. You changed my life in all the best ways. I'll ALWAYS be here for you, I’ll always have your back and you'll always be my baby. I LOVE YOU."
Christina shares Taylor, along with son Brayden, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, who she has remained on good terms with following their divorce. Tarek has since gone on to marry Heather Rae El Moussa, and the pair share a young son, Tristan, three.
Tarek also shared a post to mark Taylor's birthday on his own social media account. He wrote: "My little Tay Tay… 16??!! This one got me. "I keep watching this and seeing every version of you at once. The little girl laughing while I kissed her cheek, the beach days in Newport, the birthday dresses, the family dinners, all those hugs… and then the incredible young woman standing beside me now. I'm just so in love with you!!!
"The day you made me a dad, my life changed forever. Somehow, 16 years passed in a blink, I almost can't believe it’s real. Part of me wishes I could go back and hold on to every one of those moments a little longer! But I am just so proud of the strong, smart, kind, beautiful person you are! And I so excited to see where life takes us next.
"As your world gets bigger, never make yourself smaller for it. Keep your voice. Keep your kindness. Know your worth. And never forget… wherever life takes you, your dad will always be standing beside you.
"You'll always be my little girl. And after 16 years, one thing is still true:) every part of life is better with you in it. Happy 16th birthday, Taylor. I love you more than words will ever be able to say."
Christina and her family live in Newport Beach, CA. The star is also mom to seven-year-old son Hudson, who she shares with ex-husband Ant Anstead.
