The NBA player, 32, shared an adorable set of photos with his sonTatum— whom he shares withKhloé Kardashian— along with a sweet message dedicated to his son on his first birthday.
The first post that Thompson has madeon Instagramfeaturing his youngest son was certainly a happy one. The NBA player sported a huge grin on his face as he carried his son, who appeared equally as jolly, in his arms. Father and son wore shades, with Thompson donning black ones to match his sweater and Tatum wearing beige ones to match his brown onesie.
The pair could be seen laughing at something off-camera in one snap and in another, Thompson sweetly stared at his son who reached up to touch his face.

“Tatum!! Happy birthday my son!,” Thompson wrote alongside the photos. “You are a reminder of what life represents to me.”
“You have taught me every loss comes a lesson and you are my gift,” he continued. “You are my reminder of all of God’s messages. You are the reason that I began my story.”
Thompson also addressed “mistakes” in the sweet post, but noted that it is possible to start over.
“The mistakes along the way are lessons not failures. There is no expiration date to reinventing yourself. Tatum, your sweet soul reminds me of God’s grace. You are a future king my son and I am so blessed to be your DaDa!,” he said concluding the post.
