Once upon a time, kids would have to flip through actual baby albums to see photos of themselves throughout the years. And that was dependent on parents not only taking pictures but getting them developed and then actually putting them in an album. Nowadays, photos don't even have to be printed, and many of them live on social media. Celebrity moms—like most moms—share tons of photos of their children's most adorable moments on Instagram. It's a way to share a bit of their child's journey with fans.

One such celebrity mom is Jacqie Rivera, daughter of banda music legend Jenni Rivera. Jacqie gave birth to her fourth child, a boy, on April 27, 2020. His name is Julian Joy, and he's absolutely precious. The singer and her husband, Mike Campos, have shared so many adorable pics of their youngest child, and he is honestly so lovely, and so are his older siblings: Jaylah Hope Yanez, Jenavieve Faith Campos, and Jordan Love Campos. Scroll through to take a look at some of Julian's most adorable pics thus far in this virtual baby album we've created for him.
He’s looking a lot like his big bro.
Julian and big brother Jordan really resemble each other in this picture. Jacqie captioned this photo of her beautiful sons, “Little boys are a ton of fun, just make sure you have some coffee and extra prayers lol Which one is ‘el mas tremendo’??”
He’s keeping his mom fit.
"I work out, just kidding I chase toddlers!" joked Jacqie when she posted this photo. All joking aside, toddlers keep their mamas on the go. Here Julian Joy is responsible for getting his mama to do a deep squat.
Turns out JJ is a messy eater.
Of course, I’m kidding. All toddlers are a little messy when they eat, and it’s freakin’ adorable. Speaking of adorable, can we talk about how cute JJ’s eyes are? All big and joyful. And that smile!
You can definitely see a family resemblance in this pic.
Apparently, JJ likes to put on a tough face a lot because when Jacqie posted this picture of him smiling, she wrote:
"I had to post this to show all y’all that he is not always mean mugging.
"I can’t believe my little papas is almost gonna be 2 . He came and flipped my whole world upside down."
JJ is his mommy's 'favorite little surprise.'
"I got him in mid besito. my favorite little surprise," wrote Jacqie when she shared this photo, implying that JJ was a surprise. He probably was a surprise since Jacqie and her husband came really close to getting divorced before she got pregnant with JJ.
His future is so bright!
He has to wear shades. Jacqie posted this picture on July 30, 2021, and captioned it: "The littlest that made my heart complete ❤️." Look at the pure joy on Jacqie's face. It's beautiful and absolutely contagious.
Beautiful words on his first birthday.
For Julian Joy's first birthday, his loving mama shared a series of photos with the following beautiful words:
"So much can happen in just 1 year! Its incredible how both Julian and I have evolved in our growing process. A year ago, on a day very much like today. I was exhausted. Physically, emotionally and spiritually. So tired that I really believed I was gonna die before having my baby( no exaggerations). But Him and I both pushed past our limits and proved to ourselves how strong we really are. This day marks SO much in my life that can not be visibly seen. But man. I have never been the same. All my kids have impacted my life in their very own ways and Julian Joy came to set me free from myself, from my selfish pride and all the desires I thought I wanted. He’s the little blessing I didn’t know I needed. And I can say with a smile on my face and conviction in my heart That Gods plans are far greater than my own. Happy birthday to the little World changer!"
Happy 1st birthday!
Jacqie's sister Chiquis is such a proud tia. She made sure to honor Julian Joy ahead of his first birthday by posting on her Instagram account the sweetest, dreamiest shot of him giving her a big kiss.
He reminds us of Jacqie here.
JJ totally reminds us of his gorgeous mama here. Even though he looks so much like his father, Michael Campos, we think he just might have Jacqie's smile. The joy that she emanates seems to shine from her youngest son, too.
He's brought so much joy to their family.
Julian has brought so much joy to Jacqie and Mike's family, and we're sure to their extended family as well. "The Joy you bring doesn’t always come in laughs and smiles only. You show up on cloudy days. Thank you JJ," his dad Mike captioned this photo.
JJ is looking more and more like his dad.
As JJ is getting older and looking less like an infant, he's starting to look more and more like his father, Mike Campos. It looks like they have the same eyes and the same nose.
That's some major cheese.
Baby Julian Joy was cheesin' so hard in anticipation of his very first Christmas. "This is baby JJs 'Its almost Christmas!' Face ," Jacqie captioned this adorable photo of his gummy smile.
Gotta get those monthly shots.
It's been a tradition for a while now to take monthly photos documenting your baby's growth during the first year, and Jacquie made sure not to skip out on the trend with JJ. He looks too happy to comply.
This Father's Day pic was everything.
For Father's Day 2020, Jacqie had a photo shoot of her four babies to give their dads a shout-out. "Happy Father’s Day to the men that blessed me with these children," she captioned the sweet pic at the time. "No matter what I’ll always be grateful for you. And Happy Father’s Day to all fathers who are actively apart of their kids lives. Fathers that step up will change the world!"
Their family portraits with Julian are the best.
"Lord, give me enough time in the days to love them before they aren’t little anymore. #jacqierivera #justjacqie #soundflower #decoloresthreads #momlife #blessed," she captioned this pic of the little one with all his siblings.
Jacqie trusts God's plans.

Being the mom to a newborn while raising three other kids isn't easy, but Jacqie finds a way to do it! "Being a mom means having to choose between eating, showering or sleeping. You cant do all 3 in one day. What did you choose today??? #jacqierivera #justjacqie #soundflower #decoloresthreads," she captioned the selfie.
Jacqie knows the struggles of trying to get a good pic.
When you have several kids, you know the struggle of trying to get at least one decent picture where everyone is ready. Jacqie has accepted the fact that maybe that is not going to be possible for her. "Today was a great day, because I have finally accepted the fact that Ill probably never get a picture where all my kids are looking at the camera and smiling. And Im ok with that ♀️ #jacqierivera," she captioned this adorable family pic.
Jacqie looks so happy.
There's no better feeling than being able to hold your little bundle of joy in your arms after nine months of anticipation. Jacqie knows that feeling all too well, and by the looks of her smile, she is really enjoying these moments at home with her baby boy.

Juan Ángel is the cutest uncle.
We love how close-knit the Rivera family is, and they surely show up to support each other during their highest and lowest moments. Juan Ángel, who is the youngest sibling in the Rivera clan, proved to be a great uncle by going to visit Julian as soon as he was born. This pic is perfection.
Juan Ángel shared this pic.
Here is Jacqie in all her mommy glory! Juan Ángel captured this pic of his sister holding her newborn in her arms, with her other son leaning up against her. She truly is glowing, and that smile shows that she is in pure bliss.
