Chrissy Teigen’s Daughter Esti Is Her Mini Director on a Photoshoot & The Pictures Are So Cute

If you’ve ever been terrorized by a toddler, then you know just how vicious they can be. I get screamed at more before 8 a.m. than most people do the entire day — this whole parenting thing is no joke! Chrissy Teigen can relate. She joked about her own boss baby daughter Esti, 15 months, being “mean” to her, and the photos are adorable.

“This director is very mean I do not like her,” the Cravings author wrote on her Instagram story on Monday (PEOPLE has screenshots HERE.) Esti looks precious in the photo, wearing a matching light yellow shirt and shorts with a white daisy print. She sits in a tiny director chair, leaning forward with her hands gripping the armrests. Her mouth is open as she looks at something off-camera, as if she is in the middle of critiquing her mom’s photoshoot. Kids can be harsh, so there’s no doubt she is giving her mom a hard time!

She shared another photo of her daughter, this time from the back. You can see the little director is sitting on a “talent” chair as she gazes up at her mom, drinking a sippy cup of milk. Teigen is crouched down in front of Esti, with her arms crossed over her legs and smiling at the baby girl. “Ok she’s fine if you give her milk,” Teigen wrote over the sweet photo.

The Chrissy & Dave Dine Out star shares Esti, Wren, 10 months, Miles, 5, and Luna, 8, with her husband John Legend. Earlier this month, she called out the “All of Me” singer, when he wrote a heartwarming birthday tribute to their eldest daughter Luna. He wrote in part that Luna is “truly the best daughter we could ask for,” to which Teigen quipped in the comments, “Just read this to Esti.” Oof!

Esti has been soaking up the sun lately, playing with her new toddler water table. She plays with toys in the water and scoops water with her baby brother in a carousel of photos Teigen recently shared. There was also a picture of Esti looking like a little diva in a pink shirt with feathers around the wrists and a matching pink bow as she eats lunch in a highchair.

She’s sassy, stylish, and so cute!
