The Cravings author shared a new photo on Instagram of herself in a lavender robe. She’s sitting at a table with her hair in a bun and her two babies in her arms. Esti, 10 months, has both arms in the air and looks at the camera with a somber expression. Her 5-month-old son Wren is equally unamused, staring at the camera with a cute little frown on his lips.

“level of photo difficulty – 1000,” Teigen captioned the post. (Imagine how difficult it would be if she actually got the kids to smile?!) It shouldn’t be this hard to take a group photo, right?

“So sweet❤️ So hard to get photos when littles are in involved!😂” one person commented. Someone else wrote, “Worth it.”

“Level of cuteness and blessings 5000!! ❤️🙏” another person wrote. We couldn’t agree more.

Teigen shares Wren, Esti, Miles, 5, and Luna, 7, with husband John Legend. Back in July, Teigen complained about how hard it was to get everyone to look and smile for family pictures. “’One with all my babies’ never works 😭” she captioned a new photo on Instagram.

And while getting cute family photos may be hard, keeping everyone in the house healthy may be even more challenging.

“Look at my sick baby,” Teigen said in a video shared to her Instagram Story today. She’s holding Wren in her arms, showing off his red flushed cheeks. He is wearing cute snowman-printed pajamas and a Copper Pearl drool bib with a smiley face pattern.

“Somebody’s always sick here now,” she continued. (Been. There!) “But you’re still so cute and sweet,” she added. After Teigen kisses him on the cheek, Wren starts babbling and “talking” to his mom, and it’s adorable.

Holiday photos may be stressful, but they are so worth it! Before you take yours, order a bib like Wren’s to keep your baby drool-free for every snap.

Copper Pearl Vance Bibs

If you have a drooler at home, order a four-pack of Copper Pearl drool bibs. These included one pack that comes with Wren’s yellow smiley-face bib, as well as a tan checkered bib, a lightning bolt bib, and a polka dot bib.
