Joanna Gaines has inspired millions with her resourceful and crafty approach to home renovation – she has built a massive home renovation empire because of it – and now her youngest kid seems to be taking after her and her husband, Chip Gaines.

Though the couple are notoriously private when it comes to their five kids, Drake, eighteen, Ella Rose, 16, Duke, 14, Emmie Kay, 12, and Crew, four, as spring starts to bloom in their Waco, Texas home, she couldn't help but highlight Crew's favorite, and timely passtime: gardening!

While her kids make little to no appearances on her social media page, the youngest of the Gaines kids' green thumb has been on full display as of late.

Joanna has been sharing updates on how her stunning garden is coming along as the weather gets warmer and warmer, and nobody is enjoying it more than little Crew.

Back in February, the star shared a slew of photos of the tot enjoying the blooming daffodils, anemones, and tulips in his mom's garden, which captured him kneeling on the gravel to smell them, and even plucking some for a little arrangement.

"Crew is very happy to report that the wait is finally over and the daffodils, anemones, and tulips have all started to come up!" the mom-of-five wrote at the time.

She added: "He loves to 'pet and smell' them. We can't wait for the spring garden to be in full bloom."

Later, in early March, she shared an adorable video of just how much the blooming garden had inspired Crew, writing: "The little artist is feeling quite inspired by the daffodils," alongside a clip of him sitting in front of a long garden bed, painting his floral view.

Now that their garden is officially in full bloom, Crew gets to enjoy it even more so, and in Joanna's latest video with him, he's excitedly walking by all of the newly flourished plants and flowers, caressing them and is even heard saying: "I love you, baby leaves!"

The Magnolia Network founder wrote in the caption: "When we got back from our snow vacation, everything had BLOOMED in the garden. Crew could not contain his excitement about all our new flower friends."
