Back with her Booboo! After missing so much time with her daughter while she was in prison, Amber Portwood is making sure every minute they have together now is a special one. Earlier this week, the Teen Mom alum shared two new pictures of herself and little Leah via Twitter.
In one photo, Portwood’s vivacious 5-year-old is seen dancing in a white sundress, her long ponytail swinging behind her. “Booboo dancing to city and colour…introducing her to good music early…love,” the MTV reality star, 24, captioned the sweet snap on July 22.
Alongside another shot, this one of mom and daughter together, she wrote, “Me and leah just hanging out 🙂 love my booboo…have a great night everyone sending love always.” The picture shows Portwood kissing her little girl’s cheek, as Leah sticks her tongue out at the camera.
Things seem to be going well for the star since her release from prison last November — but it definitely took some time for her to reconnect with her family. In the MTV special Being Amber earlier this year, Portwood broke down in sobs after realizing how much time she missed with her only child.
“I feel so f—ing bad. I left her for so long,” she said, crying. “I know why she’s acting the way she is. She’s afraid that I’m gonna f—ing leave her again. I just f—ing hate everything I did. It was all the drugs and s–t. It was all I did. All I did was get f—ed up.”
These days, she’s much more stable. She even wrote a tell-all, Never Too Late, set to be released next month by Post Hill Press.
