And smile! Kim Kardashian shares new snap of giggling little Nori (and this one's the cutest yet)

Kim Kardashian has just posted a new snap of her impossibly cute bundle of joy.

The 33-year-old reality star shared the beaming photo of North, who turned six months old on Sunday, on her Instagram page.

She accompanied the picture with the simple, but touching message: 'Smile.

                           
                         

Kim has only shared a handful of photos of North, affectionately known as Nori, since she was born in June; her fiance Kanye West is more private about their child and even declared before her birth that she is not 'America's  baby'.

Meanwhile, Kim was spotted out with North in Beverly Hills on Monday on a shopping trip with her sister Kourtney, and her baby Penelope, 17 months.

During a Q&A earlier in the morning, Kim announced she will have her own Christmas card with Kanye West and baby North in 2014.

         

   

Kim and her famous family are known for their annual holiday cards, but she has revealed she and Kanye may opt for their own greeting next year.

Asked during a Twitter Q&A this morning if she would send out her own Christmas card featuring her husband-to-be and daughter, Kim said: 'We won't be doing it this year. this year we got some good ideas and gonna brainstorm for next year, tradition is everything This family card was so fun (sic).'

Kanye and North didn't join the Kardashians in this year's traditional Christmas card, which features Bruce and Kris Jenner, the Kardashian sisters - Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie - and Kourtney's two children, Penelope and Mason.

                               

In a stark contrast to last year's Christmas card - which included the entire Kardashian family, their partners and pets - Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick, Khloe's soon-be ex-husband Lamar Odom and sibling Rob Kardashian were all absent from the festive shoot this year.

The initial decision to feature only the women of the family was made by famed photographer David Chappelle - who shot the festive photo against a dramatic tabloid inspired background - but Kourtney refused to leave her three-year-old son Mason out of the shoot. 

Bruce, who recently split from Kris, also insisted he remained part of the photo.
