365 days ago Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s bundle of joy said hello to the world around her. And ever since, she’s been showing us up with stylish threads, famous friends and constant globe-trotting. Where were you when North West was born? Has your life felt different ever since? It should.

Unlike Beyoncé and Jay Z, who’ve only recently started to increase little Blue Ivy Carter’s exposure, North has been a consistent presence on Instagram since last summer. The couple waited a few weeks until Kanye officially showed off his baby girl on his mother-in-law’s now-canceled daytime talk show, Kris (RIP). Since then, photos of North have appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as well as inside the pages of Vogue, helping her complete the bucket lists of both young fashionistas and middle-aged women everywhere. Through her parents’ connections and work schedules, North already has an inked-up passport, traveling from Paris to Florence to Austria with pit stops in New York and Los Angeles any day of the week. I’m not jealous — I promise! — I’m just wondering what she does on those international flights to pass the time. Ah, to be young again.

She’s chic, worldly and well-connected. Celebrate Baby North’s big day, and all the reasons she’s accomplished more than you have, with the gallery above.

She may glamorous, but will she grow up to be a performer like her dad? Can she escape the plans of Grandma Kris? See our friends at The Gossip Table weigh in on Nori’s future:
