“My beautiful sweet smart baby girl! I love playing dress up with you!” the proud mom wrote in the caption.

Earlier in February, the KKW Beauty mogul shared a photo on Instagram of a landscape painting North completed, calling her daughter a “little artist.” After social media users began questioning whether North had actually painted the artwork, Kardashian fired back.
