The second shot was a portrait of the world champion holding her son, and even the little boy grinned at the camera. A close-up shot of the infant was in the next photo. The father and kid were having a fun time, as per the fourth photograph in the Instagram post.
But there was something unique about the fifth photograph. It depicted the whole family having fun together. The toddler looked at the dog with a curious expression as his father held him near the pet. It was a sweet shot since the dog was also staring at the kid with an innocent expression of curiosity and playfulness.
