Though Knowles wanted them to share a birthday, she said her granddaughter "decided to come when you were good and damn ready" like her "auntie Solo" (Solange Knowles). Blue Ivy was born three days later on Jan. 7, 2012.
"Knowing you and your personality now, I realize that you needed your own day because you were such a queen and you are so very special!" she added.
Knowles then praised her granddaughter for her many talents. "You can sing, dance, play basketball, play volleyball, paint, draw, sculpt, sew, write poetry, write songs, create, act, play the piano! I could go on and on. Because there's really nothing that you can't do," she wrote.

Knowles signed the post "Grandma T."
