Kayla, the mother of Adaline, hopes that her recently turned three-year-old daughter will continue to spread joy in the same way Jordan did.

“People are drawn to Addy,” Kayla, 28, shares with TODAY.com. “She’s sassy and opinionated β€” she’s like an old soul. She’ll just tell you how it is.”

Despite Adaline’s undeniable charm, Kayla initially had reservations about sharing her daughter with the world.

Adaline has underdeveloped optic nerves and is legally blind, which often leads to curious questions from adults when they encounter her in public.

“When we’re out, grown adults will come up and ask, ‘What is wrong with her?’ And ‘Why do her eyes do that?'” Kayla reveals. “So I was worried to put her on the internet. My husband actually had to convince me. He was like, ‘We need to do this. She’s going to make people smile. They’re going to love her.'”
