In one of the most recent pics, a close up of Kaavia shows the girl rocking a bright pink headwrap while giving a major side eye off-camera, an expression that is now her signature, as has been replicated in many other of her pics.

“Whatchu talkin bout Willis?! That's not Abraham! #shadybaby,” the pic was captioned, referencing the catchphrase popularized by Gary Coleman on his role as Arnold Jackson in the series “Diff'rent Strokes.”

THE STRUGGLES OF CONCEIVING FOR THE WADES

After Kaavia’s birth, Union and Wade opened about the struggles they faced to conceive and the long journey they went through before deciding to try other methods to bring a child into the world.

Union, 45, revealed that she had eight or nine miscarriages, but she kept trying and making her body go through intensive treatments, never losing hope.

However, it was Wade who had to step in and remind Gabrielle that, without her, the family wouldn’t be complete. The Miami Heat player said on an exclusive video of the behind the scenes of Kaavia’s birth:

“You know people kind of get this perception that, especially someone who is an actress or a celebrity or whatever the case may be, uses a surrogate because they are lazy. Because they didn't want to carry it, mess their bodies up. But for us when it got to the point where it was dangerous.”

Union added on the caption of the clip: “Every family is unique. How each family is created and comes together is special. Kaavia James Union Wade journey into our arms was long and at times brutal. There were heartbreaks that nearly broke us and streams of tears that turned into raging rivers.”

But in the end came baby Kaavia, and with her, a whole bunch of new experiences to the fan favorite couple.

Gabby and Dwyane couldn't be happier with their baby girl, and fans are more than grateful for getting an insight into little Kaavia's life.
