LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hilary Duff is celebrating her son, Luca Cruz's 12th birthday.

The Teen Choice Award winner celebrated her child's memorable occasion with a sweet Instagram post that showed a collection of videos of Cruz that she captured over the years.

The heartfelt clip started with a shot of Cruz, whom Duff shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie, at a table, then him making a funny face and sticking his tongue out while in a car. The 'How I Met Your Father' actress makes an appearance too, smiling in some sunglasses as she wraps an arm around him. 

Many notable moments and accomplishments from Cruz's life are also captured in the montage, including his doing a high jump, playing basketball, acting on stage during a school play, learning how to play the piano, and winning a medal for sports.
