Kaitlyn Cardwell is Anna Cardwell's eldest daughter, and fans of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" were introduced to her from early on. Her birth announcement happened in Season 1 of the series, and she's mostly grown up in front of the cameras, which is why some people are invested in her life.
In 2016, Anna revealed her daughter had surgery to remove an extra thumb. She spoke to Us Weekly about the decision. "The doctor told me that she did very, very well," she said. "[At first] she was like, 'No, Mommy, I'm going to miss my little finger.' I said, 'When you get older, people might pick on you. You don't know that.' She was like, 'Well then, Ma, you can get on to them and go back and pick at them.'" Kaitlyn later changed her mind and committed to the procedure, which was successful.
Kaitlyn is heading into her preteens now, and Anna is incredibly proud. For her tenth birthday in 2022, she celebrated her daughter with a touching tribute on Instagram. "Y'all help me wish this crazy and silly and smart girl a happy 10th bday. Omg y'all I have a 10 year old lord help me, but if it wasn't for her, I would be a mother she is the smartest and sassiest little girl I know, and I am so proud of her," she wrote.
