Thomas Rhett has fully embraced his life as a father of two after welcoming his daughters, Willa and Ada, in the middle of 2017. Since becoming “dad,” the “Marry Me” singer’s Instagram has become littered with photos and videos of his precious family, including a recent addition to the feed.

Showcasing his wife Lauren and two-year-old Willa, Rhett declares the little one as a genius after she writes a ‘W’ on her notebook.

“Willa Gray is 2 and just wrote a ‘W’ on her own.. is that normal?,” he wrote with the adorable clip.

In it, he encourages Willa to embrace her brainy side by having her declare, “I’m a genius,” as she doodles away.

The couple welcomed Willa into their lives several years ago when they’d visit Uganda to volunteer with 147 Million Orphans. She finally made her way to the United States in May after a lengthy and trying adoption process.

“It is definitely the hardest thing we’ve ever been through,” Akins said of adoption. “But I think it needs to be hard because you have to fight for that baby just like you do. I’ve done both now — I’ve had one biological and I’ve had one through adoption. It’s a battle to bring your child home. And it just strengthens you as parents and as a team. It is hard but it’s so worth it.”

While the Ivy League may still be 15 or 16 years away, there’s no doubt that Rhett and Akins will continue to marvel at their smart little girl throughout the years to come.
