US weekly magazine reports that 39-year-old Witherspoon happily posted the photo, with a caption that just overflows with happiness for her daughter.
"Wow! My sweet girl turns 16 today!" Witherspoon wrote in the caption. "I am so blessed to have such a kind, compassionate, brilliant, artistic, all-around wonderful daughter who makes me a better person everyday."
The photo is a split, showing a younger Ava on the left, and then on the right as a teenager.
Ava is the eldest of Reese and former husband Ryan Phillippe's kids. They also have an 11-year-old son named Deacon.
Entertainment Online reports that Reese and Ava have been posting several pictures of them lately. In April, prior to the premiere of Hot Pursuit, they posted a photo where Ava is seen with blue hair and a white lace dress while being embraced by her mom.

"Me and my girl ready for #HotPursuit premiere! @avaphillippe," wrote the proud mom.
Later, while in a trip to Italy in June, the mom posted another photo where Ava can be seen sporting her natural blonde hair, while wearing a white lace dress as well. She is seen posing with her mom and between them is the legendary designer, Valentino.

People reports that Ava is not the only lookalike that mom Reese Witherspoon has.

Reese's mom Betty also looks like her, making Ava the third in the generation to look the same.
The entertainment site also reports that Witherspoon said that despite her busy schedule, her top priority is still being a mother.
"There are some sacrifices you make, and it hurts your heart sometimes, but my kids tell me they're proud of what I've accomplished, and that just means everything," Witherspoon told Southern Living in its September issue. "I grew up with a working mom, and I have so much respect for the things she did as a nurse and a teacher. I would never begrudge her that."
