Meanwhile, former professional wakeboarder Chandler Powell beamed: “After waiting for you to arrive for the last 9 months, finally meeting you has been the best moment of my life. You have a big life ahead of you and no matter what, you will be surrounded by a whole lot of love. Thank you for gracing your beautiful mother and me on our wedding anniversary, so excited to have you home❤️.”
Reflecting on her first week of motherhood, Bindi said it was “filled with sweet snuggles and infinite love”.
Now she’s been a mum for over a year, we can safely say Bindi has taken to parenthood like a duck to water and is loving every minute of it.
Bindi reveals beautiful the reasoning behind her daughter’s four names, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell.
She explained that Grace was the name of her great-grandmother and the name runs in Chandler’s family as well.
Bindi went on to explain, “Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad.”
Bindi’s parents, Steve and Terri Irwin started a charity named Wildlife Warriors so the name, ‘Warrior’ is symbolic of that.
“I think about how much meaning and love was poured into naming the most important part of our lives, our gorgeous Grace.”
To celebrate Bindi and Chandler’s parenthood journey, we’re opening up the Irwin family album and looking at every single adorable photo of Grace.

“Grace’s PURE HAPPINESS every time she gets to pat a koala. May we all get to experience this much joy in our lives. ❤️,” Bindi wrote on Instagram.
“Grace Warrior, If one day you come across this post – I want you to know that being your mama is the BEST. And I love you with all my heart, forever. I have loved every adventure we’ve shared and I can’t wait for many more to come,” Bindi said in a tribute to her daughter. We’re not crying, you are.

Every night the family take a walk around Australia Zoo, sometimes with Uncle Robert in tow.

Born on her parents’ one-year wedding anniversary, March 25th, Bindi explained of her daughter’s sentimental name: “Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s. Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior. Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad. There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed.”
Bindi’s little brother Robert Irwin is a total natural when it comes to his uncle duties.
“Let the uncle adventures begin! Love you so much, Grace ❤️,” Rob beamed of his new niece.
