In it, Kris, 67, shared footage of Kourtney from over the years, beginning from when she was a baby.

The video kicked off with Kris and her late husband, Robert Kardashian bringing their eldest child home from the hospital at three days old.

It then continued with sweet videos of the Poosh founder growing up alongside her three siblings: Kim, 42, Khloe, 38, and Rob, 36, and later with her half-siblings, Kylie, 25, and Kendall Jenner, 26.

As the clip went on, it showed more recent tapings of Kourtney with her three kids: Mason, 13; Penelope, 10; and Reign, seven, who she shares with her ex-Scott Disick, 39.

It concluded with a clip of Kourtney on her wedding day when she tied the knot with her husband, Travis Barker, 47, in Portofino, Italy, last year.

Kris boasted about her daughter in her lengthy caption: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful first born child @kourtneykardash!!! It truly feels like yesterday that you were born. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by… I can remember every precious, incredible milestone, and how you came along that day and stole our hearts.

“You are such an incredible blessing and made all my dreams of becoming a mommy come true. Thank you for being the most incredible and amazing daughter, mommy, auntie, sister, wife and friend… you are beautiful inside and out! You are smart, talented, kind, creative, generous, loving, and are the best confidant and design advisor!

“You are the best to go to Disneyland with and you are the best shopping buddy! You are the best mom and I’m so proud of you each and every day. I thank God he chose me to be your mommy and I love you more than you will ever know. Mommy xo.”

Kourtney replied to her mother’s sweet words: “I love you mommy, with two teary-eyed emojis and a red heart emoji.

TWINNING

While others gushed over the touching video in the comments, many couldn’t help but point out Kourtney’s striking resemblance to her nine-year-old niece, North.

One person wrote: “North resembles her auntie,” prompting another to reply: “Not gonna lie I was thinking that too while watching this video.”

A third echoed about Kim and her ex-husband, Kanye West’s oldest child: “I can really see North in young Kourtney.”

And a fourth agreed: “Not young Kourtney looking exactly like North,” as someone else called the youngster, “Kourt’s twin.”

Kim and Kanye, 45, are also parents to sons, Saint, seven; Psalm, three; and a daughter, Chicago, five.

COUSIN BOND

North has a very close bond with Kourtney’s daughter, Penelope, as they often spend time together.

Over the weekend, Kim surprised the pre-teens and their friends with a trip to a Katy Perry concert in Las Vegas.

The Skims founder documented the entire experience on social media, from the lavish treats offered on her $150million private jet to a meet and greet with the singer herself.

Penelope also joined Kim and her cousins for a luxurious getaway to Tokyo, Japan.

At one point, Kim captured a heart-to-heart moment between Penelope and North while traveling through the city.

In them, Penelope lay back against North as they were in the backseat of a car, looking at the latter’s cell phone.

The sisterly-like bond between the famous cousins was evident, and Kim commented on it in her caption: “Besties.”

Many fans remarked that it reminded them of Kim’s strong bond with her sisters, Kourtney and Khloe.

Even Khloe’s BFF Khadijah Haqq McCray, 40, labeled Penelope and North the new Kourtney and Kim.
