Sweet baby Chicago West is just over 2 months old.
Though the world has gotten glimpses of this adorable, “royal” offspring, we’ve only gotten glimpses of her. Until now.
Kim Kardashian has shared the first full photo of this adorable little princess. Take a look!
Back in January, Kim and Kanye welcomed their baby girl, who was born via gestational carrier.
Though she was born on January 15th, it took days before the public even learned her name. Kim Kardashian is famous for slowly rolling out new information about her children.
It’s part of striking a balance between her child’s privacy and realistic expectations of her fans. Also, always leaving fans wanting more can’t be hurting her brand.
Baby sister Kylie has been following that model with adorable little Stormi. And there’s a decent chance that Khloe will do the same.
Now, for the first time, we’re getting a real, full portrait of this unbearable adorable baby.
Take a look!
Hello there, Chicago!
Kim, of course, gets to see this overwhelmingly sweet little face every single day.
But for fans, looking at this oxytocin-inducing little bundle of love is a treat.
And, really, it’s a first.
In the past, we’ve seen Chicago’s face through Snapcaht filters, and we’ve seen her cheeks as a newborn in Kylie’s pregnancy video.
Neither of those are the same as seeing Chicago full-on and unfiltered.
Though we’re sure that Kim Kardashian is a great mother to North, Saint, and Chicago, some have been critical of her parenting.
Sometimes, there are just ridiculous claims — like people questioning if Kim Kardashian is neglecting baby Chicago because … get this … she’s on social media a lot.
Kim is a reality star who built her brand on social media. The only thing that’s “different” with Chicago versus with Saint and North is that Kim isn’t having to recover from pregnancy and childbirth.
And that’s the crux of why people think that she doesn’t love Chicago the same way that she loves her other kids. Some people have embraced absurd stigma against gestational carriers (and surrogates), and think that a mother who really loved her children would birth them herself.
That’s not only awful, it’s dangerous. Kim loves her children and herself enough to want to be alive to be their mother. Giving birth herself would have put her life at risk.
Some criticisms of her parenting, however, may be a little less absurd.
Recently, Kim shared a topless photo that was taken by North herself.
There were those who question whether it’s appropriate to let your child take thirst trap photos … least of all pictures in which their own mother is topless.
This may come down to cultural differences between families, however. For some families, it’s normal for a father to spend time around the house shirtless, while others would be shocked to see that.
In some families, parents and children kiss each other on the mouth. Others would basically rather die.
Then, of course, came Kim’s statement that her husband deserves as much attention as her children.
Since any parent’s first obligation is to their children, that line could be interpreted as Kim prioritizing Kanye over her kids.
But … maybe she was just offering marital advice. We can’t imagine Kim neglecting her children.
Kim clearly cares about her children.
Reportedly, she doesn’t want anyone else to tell Chicago about her surrogacy — because she wants to be the one to explain to her little girl how she was born and why.
That sounds fair.
Besides, if a bunch of people talk to Chicago about where she gestated, this sweet little girl might grow up thinking that it somehow marks her as different.
Kim wants to avoid that.
We can’t wait until we see more of her adorable little baby.
