Kourtney Kardashian is looking back on the birth of her fourth child, Rocky Barker, in a sweet Instagram post! The boy, whom she shares with her husband of three years, Blink-182 member Travis Barker, turned two on November 1. It was met with a quiet celebration, as the family most likely wanted to enjoy their love rather than be judged by judgmental people online.
In the Instagram post from November 6, Kourtney lies in a hospital bed, her hair styled in mini buns, and gives the lens a smooch. In her arms is her newborn, Rocky, his face covered with a white heart emoji. He was born precisely at 12 AM PST, just missing his Halloween due date. Oh, well. A baby comes when they come.
The second photo in the post is a physical copy of the bestselling 2010 baby book, On the Night You Were Born, by Nancy Tillman. Polar bears dance together under a full moon on the cover, emphasizing the new life. It's a very emotional and sweet layout, because becoming a mother again is one of the greatest joys.
Kourtney then uses the book's text as her caption, quoting every word of the poem as it appears on the pages. Like the line "Life will never be the same," hers definitely shifted for the better when she and Travis welcomed Rocky on that special night.
See the sweet post below!
Rocky Barker is Travis Barker's mini-me
Since Rocky's birth, Travis has been instilling his musical talents into his young son. I, for one, love the way he bonds with him, because it shows just how much he loves him and wants to connect on the same platform. Besides, when you are the child of Blink-182, the music will rush through you like an ocean.
To elaborate, Rocky is an attendee of many of his dad's concerts. Seeing him magically perform onstage with his bandmates, Thomas Delong and Mark Hoppus, respectively, must be an experience for the little guy. Rocky has already touched the drums and guitar, so perhaps one day, he'll be sharing the stage with his famous dad.
On Rocky's birthday, Travis upoloaded a snap of his little boy. He sports a tiny Famous Stars and Straps jersey with the number 13 and baggy khakis. To top off his look, Rocky's dark curls peek out from a backwards cap. The outfit is very on brand for the Barkers, as it reflects that punk-rocker vibe.
Yet, his message to his son is even sweeter.
"Happy Birthday my Rocky 13! You’re such a special soul, and you make every day brighter. I love you. No one’s cooler. Guitars, drums, pirates, boom boom pow and Angus Young forever."
By the way, Angus Young is the legendary guitarist from the Australian band, AC/DC, in case you're wondering.
