Jamie Lynn Spears celebrated a major milestone on Thursday, November 14, posting a proud carousel of photos to Instagram as her daughter Maddie officially signed with Southern Miss for softball.

Another snap captured Spears in full cheer mode, grinning in the black-and-gold tee beside her daughter at the signing table.
Maddie held up a tiny school portrait from her younger years, taken around the time of the 2017 ATV accident that nearly killed her.
“I did have an accident,” the 17-year-old said in an August YouTube video, adding that she’s been “injury-prone” her entire life. “I was in a coma, and I came back to life, and I’m very blessed.”
