Say Cheese! The Cutest Celebrity Kid Photos of 2014

Updated on 12/27/2014 at 4:41 PM

Thanks to the power of social media, we are privy to a look at celebrities' lives that's free from Photoshop and filters (well, except for the free ones on Instagram). And while we definitely "like" their photos of gourmet meals and glamorous clothes, we truly love the photos they share of their children. Be it an over-the-top birthday bash or family vacation, there's something about seeing A-listers and their tots that warms our hearts and makes us think, "Wow, they really are like us." This year, we saw plenty of sweet snapshots from famous moms and dads, and these are the ones we deem the cutest of the bunch. Source: Instagram
