Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s 7-month-old daughter Kaavia James has a personality that’s earned her the nickname “shady baby,” but she’s also an exact replica of her Father. In all of their cute family moments shared on Instagram, Wade literally melts at the sight of his baby girl, and even though she can’t talk just yet, we can see the feeling is mutual.

Scroll through the gallery of all the times Dwyane Wade and Kaavia James’s uncanny resemblance made us do a double take.

01
Apple Of My Eye
Dwyane Wade welcomed their daughter Kaavia James via surrogate on Nov. 7th. “She looks just like Dad, but I’d like to think the attitude is from me,” Union told PEOPLE in February. “She will stare into your soul and tell you about yourself through her eyes.”

Daddy’s Girl
Union also says Kaavia and Daddy have a special bond. “There are a bunch of boys [in our house], and he’s like, ‘yeah, yeah, whatever,” Union explains. “But with Kaav, she drools and he’s like, ‘Oh my gosh.’”

Team Scorpio
Union told ESSENCE that at only a few months old, baby Kaavia is already showing classic signs of a Scorpio. In addition to having very particular taste, mom says, “She does not do baby talk. She’d prefer to listen to CNN over baby talk any day. She’s not with that. You can have a normal conversation with her and she’ll react.”
