Celebrity couple Doug Kramer and Cheska Garcia penned a heartfelt message as their eldest daughter Kendra celebrated her 13th birthday today, June 25.

In an Instagram post, Doug and Cheska looked back at the past 13 years of Kendra's life from a baby with a "larger than life" personality to a "more reserved" teenager.

They wrote, "Our dearest @kramer.kendra, you're officially a teenager now. Seemed like yesterday you were that chubby baby whose personality was larger than life, very loud, unbashful, full of spunk and so playful."

"The apple of everyone's eye! You loved to sing and dance and it's nice to see that those things haven't changed! We still remember you running and crying after Papa when leaving for training. Then coming home and seeing you dressed up like mommy, with cheek tint, lipstick, and high heels you didn't want to stop using! Your school even made a special rule about banning 3 yr olds and wearing high heels!"

They continued, "Though you're more reserved these days, it's nice to see that your witty punchlines and charisma remain. You make everyone laugh with your cleverness and easy-going personality. Your charm is like no other baby."

"And now here we are. 13! Mommy and Daddy have so much advice and guidance to give you. But even at this young age, you have already formed your convictions, your nonnegotiables, your priorities, and your love for Christ and family.

"You're such a blessing to Scarlett and Gavin. God made you into the best big sister for them. Annoying them, ordering them around, but showing so much love to them it overpowers the first 2.

"You're such a blessing to Mommy and I. No words will ever be enough to describe our love for you. We're proud of you! PROUD! We're so excited for what the future holds for you. Mommy and I are your biggest fans."

In the end, the couple advised Kendra to take her time and enjoy being a teenager.

They ended, "Up next, road from 13 to 18 for you. Take your time sweetheart. Enjoy your teenage years! You don't need to be perfect all the time, give room to grow, learn, loosen up and relax."

"So from Papa and Mama, We love you unconditionally!"
