Kourtney Kardashian, 46, says her 'heart is exploding' over daughter Penelope Disick's new milestone
Kourtney Kardashian marked her daughter Penelope's 13th birthday with a celebratory trip.
The 46-year-old former Keeping Up with the Kardashians personality shares Penelope, as well as Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.
She took to Instagram this week to highlight the special occasion and express her gratitude for motherhood.
'My daughter is 13 today,' she wrote over a photo of a floor covered in balloons. 'My heart is exploding with gratitude and love for her.'
Kardashian didn't specify exactly where they traveled, but scenic photos resembled Italy.
'I am so indescribably grateful for my sweet girl,' Kardashian wrote over a photo of a balcony view. 'She inspires me every day to be a better person.'
The mother-of-four, who also shares toddler Rocky with husband Travis Barker, also noted the trip was extra special for a sentimental reason.
'My parents spent their honeymoon here 47 years ago, so special to get to bring my daughter here,' she typed over another image featuring a riviera.
It comes one month after Kourtney used social media to share that she was 'crying bc my baby girl is done with 6th grade.'
Last year Penelope celebrated her birthday by going on a three-day getaway with her friends.
Taking to Instagram afterward, Kourtney posted photos from the soiree and wrote in the caption, '9 girls (and a baby), 2 moms (shoutout @natalie5382), 3 days of casual, perfectly slowed down beach days to celebrate my little lady.
'Toe rings, sound baths, night swims, painting bikini boxes, frozen bananas, mamma mia and lots of frank ocean forever.'
Penelope received warm birthday wishes from her family on Instagram, including her grandmother Kris Jenner.
Jenner uploaded a series of throwback photos of her granddaughter and added a heartfelt caption.
'My beautiful granddaughter Penelope is officially a teenager!! I can't believe you are 13 today!' she began the note.
The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch continued, 'P you are such a smart, strong, confident, kind, fun, and amazing girl… You're the best daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend, cousin, and niece, and you make all of us so proud every single day.'
She gushed, 'You already have the most amazing sense of style and such a creative spirit. Getting to watch you grow into this amazing young lady has been one of the greatest blessings of my life and being your Grandmother is a gift I cherish every single day. The world is yours my sweet P, and I love you beyond words!!'
Kourtney and Travis' blended family also includes his three children with ex-wife Shanna Moakler: stepdaughter Atiana, 26, son Landon, 21, and daughter Alabama, 19.
