Now, at the age of three, Aleksandra Dimitreivski has taken the TikTok world by storm with about 855,000 followers.
"I started doing daily affirmations with her and she was doing it really passionately and I thought it would be so cute to film and put it on TikTok," Sofia said.
"One of the first ones that went viral right now has 5 million views. Our biggest one though would have to be one with 55 million views."
Although all four of the Dimitrievski family members feature in the TikToks, the tiny toddler seems to be the star of the show.
"Aleks is the main one on TikTok though, she is so little I think she has the biggest impact."
The dimifamily's empowering TikToks have more to them than just the overwhelming cuteness.
"The reason why we do this is to help people with mental health and feel good about themselves and help children feel happier," the mother of two said.
"My brother suffered from a mental illness and took his own life twelve years ago."
Aleksandra is named after Sofia's brother Aleksandar and she says she can see a lot of him in her daughter.
"We do it for him, we just want people to be happy."
