LOOK: Celebrating Leia Valenciano birthday with the cutest photos


Beat the bad week blues with a dose of one of Instagram’s most adorable baby and grandchild of Gary Valenciano


By now, almost everyone knows of Nataleia Martine Valenciano—the daughter of Paolo and Sam Valenciano who turned four years old today. Lovingly nicknamed “Leia” after Paolo’s favorite galactic princess, she has won the hearts of many.

If you haven’t seen her yet, you should. Sure, she’s cute but she’s clever, too. To pick you up on this hump day, we compiled some of her best Instagram photos.

Playing dress-up

Halloween may be over but Leia’s costumes are still giving us life. For a baby, she was pretty extra since she had more than one outfit. This year, she dressed up as a spider woman and Anne Wheeler, too!

More food, please

Babies do the cutest reactions and Leia proves that. In this photo, she was asking for more mangoes and Jelly Ace. It’s hard to say no to this cute face, right?

Taking the lead

The World Vision’s Give Hope campaign—which encourages the public to contribute to raising funds that will assist vulnerable children—is made sweeter with Leia, one of their youngest ambassadors. As she brings smiles to our hearts, we hope you, too, will continue to give hope to children.

What a mood

Still sheltering in place? Good. But we’re sure you had that one moment where you realize you’ve been stuck at home for almost a year. Did we react as cute as Leia though? Probably not.
