The 28-year-old mother told Newsweek that these pictures are now a daily occurrence, and said, “When I first received the photos, I thought that they were so funny.”
While she stated that she loves all of the photos, her personal favorite is the fourth slide.
“My favorite one is probably the one that makes her look like a DJ,” she said.
People on TikTok quickly blew up the video’s page with their comments

One person wrote, “Newborn pictures are so unhinged because they make the most wild facial expressions.”
“As a daycare teacher I appreciate these,” another said. “So real.”
“My husband does this!” read a third. “I work so hard to get beautiful pictures and he just waits til the kid is mid sneeze…”
“This is the cutest Megamind I’ve ever seen,” one joked.
