We literally can't believe that Archie Harrison is already over 6 months old. That's right -- 6 months. Already! Not only does it feel like he's growing up too fast, but it feels like the year has gone by in a blink. It seems like only yesterday that the royal family announced his arrival -- and now he's grown in his two front teeth! There's no doubt about it: Meghan Markle must be one proud momma. Especially considering that she's a new mom, it really seems like the duchess has this whole "mom" thing down-pat.

How? Well, let's cover the basics.

First of all, she's honest about her experience. She doesn't just put her nose up and pretend that everything's easy just because she's the Duchess of Sussex. When asked about being a new mom in a recent documentary, she earnestly replied with, "Not many people have asked if I'm okay. But it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes." She didn't hesitate to confirm that it's been a struggle as well. Considering how the media surrounding Meghan has been known to be unkind to her, we're here to point out that Meghan is doing an amazing job. Archie is one happy, healthy baby, with some seriously great role models to look up to! Plus, with Prince Harry by her side, things are only going to get better.

Meghan is one badass momma, who's been through more trials than the average new mom has to deal with. Here are all the reasons she's already nailing motherhood!

Archie has already been to so many wonderful places -- and met many wonderful people! Who else can say that their earliest adventure was meeting Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Africa?

Melding cultural identities under a shared roof, it creates a space to feel a sense of normalcy – in its simplest form, the universal need to connect, nurture, and commune through food, through crisis or joy – something we can all relate to." The Duchess of Sussex is supporting a new charity cookbook, which celebrates the power of cooking to bring people together – visit the link in our bio or our IGTV channel to watch the full film #CookTogether.

When a baby is hungry, that takes priority. Meghan has faced some royal drama from leaving royal engagements to breastfeed him, which goes to show how relentless mommy shamers are.

Fun fact: Meghan Markle chose organic, vegan paint for Archie's nursery. Not only is he going to have an organic diet -- he's going to have organic everything.

Yes, it's a royal baby. But Meghan and Harry have made it abundantly clear that they want Archie to have as normal a life as possible. The spotlight should be his decision!
