20 Sweet Throwback Photos Of Steve Irwin With His Daughter Bindi To Make You Smile

At the 2002 premiere of Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, Steve Irwin held his daughter Bindi up above his head. Already supporting her.

Apparently he was able to hold both of the women he loved in his arms at the same time at the Australia premiere of his movie.

The Irwins rode around on an elephant in 2002 at the Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course premiere.

In 2005, 7-year-old Bindi clearly loved her dad as she planted a kiss on his cheek in Uluru, Australia.

Bindi Irwin thanked her parents for making the decision to have her on her 22nd birthday in July, and from the looks on their faces I think they were pretty pleased with that decision as well.

Bindi Irwin got more than a love of animals from her dad... apparently they were both fans of smoothies, as evidenced by this adorable flashback selfie she shared on Instagram.

Bindi Irwin captioned this sweet photo of herself as a baby with her dad, "You will always be my superhero."

As with most photos Bindi Irwin shares of herself with her dad, the theme of animal love, as well as family ties, is strong. Here they pose with her aunt and uncle.

Steve Irwin and his wife Terri welcomed their son Robert in December 2003, and the family looks truly delighted with the addition.

Bindi Irwin thanked her parents on Earth Day for teaching her "that we are all connected and that we must work together to ensure a bright future for the next generations."

The day before Bindi Irwin married Chandler Powell on March 25, she shared a post referring to her dad as her "guiding light" and noted he's "always with me."

Bindi Irwin apparently loved to get ice cream on her dad's face as a little girl, and she shared a video of the memory that makes her smile.

In February, Bindi Irwin celebrated her dad's birthday by doing all of the things that might bring her closer to him. "I hugged Mum for you and told her how much we love her. Robert and I went on a hike through the mountains you cherished. I watched one of your documentaries with Chandler and shared stories about you." All these years later, and she still understands him.

Growing up at a zoo means getting comfortable with animals, even as a toddler Bindi was all good with a massive snake getting in on a family hug.

Even as a baby Bindi Irwin was comfortable with snakes.

It's a good thing the whole Irwin family, even baby Robert, looked good in khakis because that's pretty much their uniform.

Bindi poses with the dog Sue that she's named after with her mom and dad. She doesn't even seem offended.

Robert Irwin was just 3 years old when his dad died, but Bindi is certain he would make his dad proud. She wrote an emotional post about the fact that Robert would walk her down the aisle in her father's place, and go ahead and sob now.

Last June, Bindi Irwin wrote a message to her father that read, "Thank you for always teaching me to stand up for what I believe in. I’m incredibly blessed to be your daughter and I love you so much." His blessings keep on shining down on her and their whole family.
