He is staring straight into the camera, showing off his tear-streaked face as he is photographed trying to crawl out of his mother's arms.

Teigen groaned in a follow-up tweet, \"Then this happened!!! On my PHONE of course,\" sharing a picture-perfect moment of a dapper-looking Miles -- dressed in his holiday outfit -- calmly leaning against the family sofa.

Other mothers of young kids were quick to commiserate with Teigen and share stories of their respective family photo fails.

One such mom admitted that one of her three young kids dramatically cried throughout the brief photo session, which made for a rather awkward Christmas card one year.

\"Kids don’t care that you’ve spent actual money for these pictures...,\" another fan said, sharing photos of her two children throwing tantrums during her respective shoot.
