Isabela was born on February 13, 2020, in Brazil. From her facial expression, one could speculate that she was acutely aware of the challenging times she was entering. A pandemic was sweeping across the globe, deeply affecting the lives of millions of people. So, how much has she changed since her unforgettable birth photo?
The "angry" baby is nearing her 4th birthday
Isabela's parents could have never predicted that such an innocuous photo would become an internet sensation. People online fell for the "angry" baby, who seemed to honestly express her raw emotions.
Capitalizing on the picture's popularity, Isabela's mother set up an Instagram profile for her daughter. Through this, we have been able to see Isabela's development. As she nears her fourth birthday, the "angry" newborn is nowhere to be seen.
There are countless photos of her smiling on social media. She is a joyous child who loves to play and occasionally decks herself out in fun costumes from cartoons. Additionally, she occasionally takes up child modeling.
Her birth photo went global
As the COVID-19 pandemic erupted globally at the end of 2019, none foresaw its duration. It impacted us in such a way that we refrained from leaving our homes and even avoided gatherings with our family and friends.
At the time, Daiane Barbosa was pregnant. By mid-February, doctors decided to perform a cesarean section. The overjoyed parents hired a professional photographer to capture the birth of their daughter, little knowing that one of these photos would garner worldwide attention.
Upon Isabela's birth, she seemingly displayed her disapproval. Almost instantly, the little girl expressed her displeasure to the doctors handling her. The serious look she aimed at them, coupled with her grave expression, served as her introduction to the world.
The photo swiftly became a meme. Many netizens quipped that the baby was aware of what awaited her in the world post-birth, a world that, amidst a pandemic, did not appear overly positive.
