Audriana Giudice Looks More Grown Up Than Ever on Her First Day of Middle School

It's already been a big month for Teresa and Joe Giudice's youngest daughter, Audriana. After turning 11 years old last week, Audriana officially started middle school on September 21.

Of course, Teresa was there to document the occasion by taking several photos of Audriana on her first day of sixth grade and sharing them on Instagram. The collection of pics shows Audriana standing in front of her house looking comfy, cool, and casual in her first day of school outfit of a blue T-shirt, gray leggings, and white sneakers. The last photo in the set of three shows Audriana in the car getting ready to go to school wearing a black face mask.

Audriana definitely looks all grown up and ready to tackle the new school year ahead.

Dad Joe also sent his love to his youngest from Italy. "Miss you soooo much," Joe gushed in the comments to the post, along with five red heart emojis, a red rose emoji, and a heart eyes emoji.

Audriana graduated elementary school with a drive-through ceremony due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in June. "Congratulations to my baby who’s not a baby at all anymore! I [am so] proud of you [and] how hard you work at everything! I know you hate all the videos and pictures I take but that’s just because I don’t want to miss a thing!!" Teresa said of Audriana's graduation in a post on Instagram on June 22. "You are so absolutely perfect [and] I can’t wait to see what you do!!! Love you to the moon [and] back!!"

Joe also shared his excitement for Audriana moving on to the next grade in a post on Instagram on June 18. "Congratulations to my daughter! You light up our life with your smile!" Joe said of Audriana in the post. "You've made us so proud over the years. Daddy [loves] you."

Audriana is the youngest of Teresa and Joe's four daughters, which also includes Gia, 19, Gabriella, who turns 16 in October, and Milania, 14.

Joe also reflected on his little girl growing up in a post celebrating Audriana's 11th birthday on September 14. "You will be my little girl forever. Today I teared up, remembering how much joy you brought to us," Joe shared. "You came at the right time when our family needed you the most and for that I will always be grateful. I have to say YOU all don’t know this but I am challenged by you girls to always be better. You all encourage me to fight harder. Your life has given me breath in so many ways. You teach me the importance of love and I am thankful for that gift."

"Thank you for always being patient with me. Thank you for always loving me so unconditionally. Thank you for all your kisses and hugs [I] still remember and miss them," Joe continued. "Thank you for exceeding every expectation in school, dance, and for just being you."

Joe concluded the post, "Baby girl, I vow to show you I will always be here and love you."

Teresa also commemorated Audriana's big birthday with an Instagram post featuring a video slideshow of photos of her daughter through the years as well as a touching message. “Happy birthday Audriana!! I love being your mom. You are such a thoughtful, strong, dedicated daughter and I’m so proud of you everyday!” Teresa wrote in a post on September 14. “You are so kind to everyone and have such love for animals and people alike. Thanks for being my baby! I love you to the moon and back my sweet baby girl!”
