Ree Drummond's Grandma Moves for Sofia Are Pure Joy to Watch!
In a new Instagram post, Ree can be seen dancing and skipping down the road while walking and pushing Sofia in her stroller as the song 'We're Off to See The Wizard' plays in the background, doing everything she can to keep the baby girl happy.
'Entertaining Sofia during her fussy pre-bedtime walk last night,' Ree captioned her video. 'We parents and grandparents do what must be done.'
She also asked viewers to ignore the interruption of the family Basset Hound dogs, as they had to follow Ree and Sofia and investigate all of the smells along the ranch road (Alex's golden retriever George could also be seen joining the fun!)
Later on, Alex shared her own point-of-view with a video shared to her Instagram stories (which you can see in this The Pioneer Woman blog post). The close-up of Sofia reveals that Ree's attempts were fruitful, as the baby sweetly laughed at her antics.
'ReeRee is so funny!!,' Alex captioned the video, where Ree can also be seen using a baseball cap to tap Sofia's tiny feet.
'She didn't want to hold the hat, she wanted me to pat her feet with the hat,' Ree chimed while re-sharing Alex's post.
Ree is always sure to share moments captured when she visits with Sofia, and most recently, the family was all together to celebrate the wedding of Paige Drummond at the ranch.
In her The Pioneer Woman recap of Paige marrying David Andersen, Ree included an adorable snap of Sofia with her parents outside on the sprawling Drummond ranch grounds.
'Alex and Mauricio got married in this spot four years ago,' she captioned the photo. 'And look at precious Sofia.'
And, in an Instagram post where Ree shared some of her favorite pictures from the day, Sofia of course made multiple appearances. These special moments included Paige holding Sofia and kissing her on the cheek, and Sofia being carried down the aisle by her dad, Mauricio Scott, during the ceremony.
Ree also shared photos of herself and husband Ladd Drummond holding Sofia during the wedding (complete with a zoom-in on Sofia's face), with the caption 'Our little pookie princess.'

'Love Island USA' proves we're used to being watched
If you want to understand how constantly carrying a camera in your pocket has affected the way we think, behave, and fall in love, watch "Love Island USA." On Tuesday, the 26th (!!!) episode of season seven aired on Peacock, meaning the original cast members have been secluded in an open-air Fiji villa for about one month. Based on how the show typically progresses, by this time, there should be several strong connections between the islanders, couples for the viewers to root for and, eventually, to vote for as joint winners of a $100,000 cash prize. Instead, a common refrain among viewers online is that, at this point, no one deserves the money. Calls for the producers to " cut the cameras" and " delete the whole cast" abound. This season has made a negative impression for various reasons, chief among them being an apparent lack of sincerity. The islanders seem hyper-aware of their role as entertainers and competitors, much too preoccupied with how they're being perceived by an invisible audience to be truly honest and vulnerable with each other. Can we blame them? It's not only that cameras are pointed at the islanders from every angle, in every nook and cranny of the villa, during every minute of the day — it's that reality TV has reached the point where viable cast members are already accustomed to those exact conditions. It's painfully clear that living in an age of constant surveillance has taken its toll on these twentysomethings. This season, the cast's ages have ranged from 21 (Vanna) to 29 (Zak), though most hover in the 23-27 range. Their lives have been defined by the advent and proliferation of smartphones; the rise of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok; and with these gadgets and platforms, a new kind of celebrity known as the "influencer." These days, some genre of content creator is one of the most commonly cited dream jobs for Gen Alpha kids. Speaking as someone who came of age in a post-9/11 world, who happily forked over my personal data to Mark Zuckerberg when I had yet to hit puberty, my generation's expectation of privacy ceased to exist pretty quickly. But when a person grows up idolizing those who found fame by broadcasting their personal lives, the value of privacy is also lost. Meanwhile, the expectation to perform is more intense than ever. Even beyond the villa, it feels like there are spectators everywhere we go — with the way social media trends leak into real life and how people have normalized filming strangers and themselves in the hopes of going viral. Amaya Espinal is one of the few islanders not afraid to show real emotion Inside the villa, this expectation is dialed up to maximum levels. With the exception of Amaya Espinal — who is so raw and sincere that her willingness to express emotion has been repeatedly mocked by her castmates — the Gen Zers on "Love Island" seem to be putting up a front because they probably are; it comes as naturally to them as posing for a photo or curating a dating app profile. This inevitably makes it difficult for the islanders to forge genuine intimacy, especially in the fires of reality TV. As April Eldemire, a licensed marriage and family therapist, previously told Business Insider's Julia Pugachevsky, vulnerability and open communication are keys to a lasting relationship. "You have to go in with open eyes," she said. However, this doesn't necessarily make the islanders "fake." It makes them products of an environment that billionaires and tech companies created — and a tragic mirror for the rest of us.

Belgium's Prince Emmanuel, 19, revealed to have secret music career as DJ Vyntrix
The Fresh Prince of Bel-gium! Belgium's Prince Emmanuel has quietly launched a successful career as a disc jockey under the stage name DJ Vyntrix. The 19-year-old, who is the youngest son of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, has been spinning decks in his free time — and even released a handful of dance tracks in recent weeks, local outlet Het Laatste Nieuws reports. Advertisement 5 Belgium's Prince Emmanuel has quietly launched a successful career as a DJ under the stage name DJ Vyntrix. BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images Emmanuel's DJ Instagram account has surged past 10,000 followers since his secret career came to light. Last month, the young royal surprised fans with two track drops, releasing upbeat tune 'Rio' on June 16, followed by the aptly-named track, 'Palace.' Advertisement The songs credit Emmanuel de Saxe as the composer, which is a nod to Emmanuel's full name Emmanuel of Saxe-Coburg — as well as his hidden talent as a saxophonist. The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, was recently able to showcase his musical offerings during a summer garden party the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg hosted at Berg Castle. 5 The 19-year-old, who is the youngest son of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, has been spinning decks in his free time. @ The Grand Duke Henri has been throwing a series of fun soirees ahead of his abdication in October. His eldest son, Guillaume, will take over the throne. Advertisement The Belgian royals boast a close friendship with Luxembourg's royal family. Grand Duke Henri's mother, Josephine-Charlotte, was the sister of Emmanuel's grandfather, King Albert II of Belgium. 5 The young royal has released a handful of dance tracks in recent weeks. @ Emmanuel, for his part, spent a lot of his childhood surrounded by his Luxembourgish relatives. Advertisement Outside of his musical interests, the teen — who is fluent in French, Dutch, and English — boasts an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, which is comparable to a combination of demanding coursework and AP exams. The prince learned Dutch at the Eureka School in Leuven, Belgium. After successfully completing the course, he is now 'following a language and sports training at an academy abroad,' according to the royal website. 'Emmanuel loves nature and practices the following sports: skiing, tennis, windsurfing and running. He also plays the saxophone,' the site adds. 5 King Philippe and Queen Mathilde with their four children: Princess Eleonore, Prince Gabriel, Princess Elisabeth and Prince Emmanuel. Getty Images Indeed, the young royal appears to have taken on a particular interest in sports, having enrolled in a special program at a Spanish soccer academy. Last year, the teen spent time in Spain training to compete at the highest level of men's professional soccer, known as La Liga or the Primera División, HLN reported. And it looks as though brains run in the family, as Emmanuel's older sister, Princess Elisabeth, is currently enrolled at Harvard University. Advertisement The 23-year-old royal has just wrapped up her first year at the Ivy League school — and recently faced uncertainty after getting caught in the crossfire of President Trump's showdown with the prestigious Ivy League college. Elisabeth, who also goes by the title of Duchess of Brabant in her home country, was at the risk of being sent back to Belgium as part of Trump's crackdown on international students, which was blocked by a federal judge last month. 5 The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, is fluent in French, Dutch, and English. Getty Images Advertisement The princess is the heir to the Belgian throne, being the eldest of four children born to King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. Before enrolling at Harvard, Elisabeth earned a history and politics degree from the University of Oxford in England.
