While Palmer is a new mother, Pulliam has been around the motherhood block with her first child, Ella Grace Hartwell, who is five years old and shares with her ex-husband, Ed Hartwell. Now the mother of two is also enjoying her newest addition to the family of four with a baby boy, Knight James, whom she shares with her husband, Brad James.

For Whitfield, her new glamma title looks good on her. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 53, recently announced that her son Kairo Whitfield, 27, and his girlfriend Alina Baber welcomed daughter Mecca Joie Whitfield last July and debuted exclusive pictures on social media and online via an exclusive with PEOPLE.  

She exclusively tells PEOPLE, “She’s adorable; the sweetest, cutest little girl. She has the curliest hair, the best smile, and is such a happy baby. I’m excited when I see her, but when we see each other, she gets so, so excited. It melts your heart!”

Whitfield continues, “It’s been so special to have her in our family, and it gets more and more special every day as I watch her grow,” she adds. “Just seeing the person she’s becoming, the way she reacts to me, the bond we’re building… it’s just so cool. I love playing with her, reading to her, taking to the park. And it’s funny because then I get say, ‘Here you go, I’m tired now’ and hand her back. That’s new for me!” She believes her grandchild helped bond and strengthen her family ties, including daughters Kaleigh Whitfield and Tierra Fuller.

These ladies all share the joy of ushering and celebrating the new little humans in their life and openly sharing that love and appreciation with their audiences. Scroll to see the adorable moments they’ve shared with their families during Mother’s Day.
