We have rounded up the sweetest, funniest and most thought-provoking celebrity mom photos from social media this week, starting with Gwyneth Paltrow, who shared a fun photo from daughter Apple’s birthday with Blue Ivy. Kendra Wilkinson put the Holly Madison drama aside to throw her daughter an amazing birthday party, while JWoww shared sweet photos of her son Greyson. Melissa Rycroft (and her new baby Cayson!), Kate Beckinsale and Chrissy Teigen all make the list of the trending moms on social media this week.

We can’t stop looking at this amazing photo Kate Beckinsale posted on her Instagram page. The 42-year-old actress posted side-by-side photos from the day her daughter, Lily Mo Sheen, was born 17 years ago and now. In the original photo from 1999, her now ex-husband Michael Sheen is pictured smiling while Beckinsale holds her newborn baby. They re-created this epic shot with Sheen again smiling in the background while Beckinsale holds her now teenage daughter. “Always a baby to me,” she captioned the sweet shot.
If you need me, I’m over here rifling through my old photos, seeing which shots I can bribe my kids into re-creating.

“With Alijah, we are homies... I kinda let her do her thang. She is who she is already pretty much. Our favorite thing we like to do together besides nails, watching sports and eating cheese is to play 'spider mama,' where I become 'mama long legs,'" Wilkinson wrote.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple, celebrated her 12th birthday surrounded by friends and “godsisters,” including Beyoncé and Jay Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy. The cute group enjoyed a birthday brunch, followed by a day at Disneyland. Paltrow posted a photo with her ex-husband, Martin, as they waited for the group at the bottom of a ride.
“When your parents can't handle #thundermountain anymore so they wait for you at the bottom,” she joked in the caption.

John Legend shared this sweet snapshot as his wife, Chrissy Teigen, burps their baby daughter Luna. The couple welcomed their first child a month ago and have had fun posting adorable photos of their baby girl, as well as Teigen's often hilarious observations on motherhood, such as “No one told me I would be coming home in diapers too,” or her most recent tweet:
“Just spray tanned around my breast pump outline. The logistical challenges of a healthy beach glow while boobing are incredible.”

"I would describe the experience like doing 3 back-to-back combat tours in Iraq while winning the Nobel Peace Prize simultaneously. What an amazing experience to literally witness the miracle of life from the very onset," he wrote.
