Awwww!

Beyoncé's little sister and fellow singer Solange turned 31 Saturday.

"Happy Birthday my beautiful baby girl❤️31 years ago today you entered this world (when YOU got good and damned ready to come) !10 days late! We were all in love!!!" she wrote.

I admire your courage , Boldness, intelligence , beauty , refusal to conform to others definition of (traditional beauty , your kindness, loyalty, love of family , great mom skills, fashion sense , work ethic , activism. I could go on."

Solange has a 13-year-old son, Daniel, from a previous marriage.

Tina also shared a heartwarming story that gives insight into how Solange was as a child.

"The Asst. principle called me when you were in the 6th grade and said you started a petition to discipline a teacher because she continuously allowed a student to harass and disrupt the class and keep the other kids from learning!" Tina said. "She said you were disruptive and too grown,  at which i said 'go Solange' I was as proud as I could be! I told her so. You were always lite years ahead of your time. We are always here and got your back !! I love you with all my heart!!!"

Tina also shared Saturday a throwback video showing her and Beyoncé, 35, lifting up Solange playfully on the set of Saturday Night Live last year, when she performed on the show. Solange smiles and protests, "I'm 30 years old!" Tina said at the time that they "have been picking her up like this since she was 10 yrs old."

"Happy birthday my baby Girl Solange Knowles Fergurson❤️ now you are 31 and we are going to pick you up again when we see you!" Tina wrote Saturday. "Because in Mariah's voice 'you will always be my baby' in this this case OUR baby."

Beyoncé has not posted anything public to Solange. The singer, who recently welcomed twins with husband Jay Z, has been MIA for weeks.

Neither they nor Tina nor Solange has made any mention of the babies, while Bey's dad Mathew Knowles confirmed their arrival last weekend in an Instagram post that Tina liked.
