Fergie's son showed off his style in the third shot as he wore green sweatpants, a black T-shirt, black sneakers, and black sunglasses with a serious look on his face.
She included a shot of her little boy dressed in a Batman costume riding a bat mobile, and smiling alongside friends after soccer practice.
The singer also added another silly picture of Axl playing with a friend and one final black-and-white portrait of him showing off his sweet smile.
The child looked like the spitting image of his parents in the collection of pictures.

Fergie captioned her post: "To my caring, funny, outgoing, loving, smart, talkative, creative super hero enthusiast. Happy 10th birthday punky!!! I love you Axl Jack."
Fans and friends flooded the comments section with well wishes to the little boy.
NOT MEANT FOR MARRIAGE
Fergie and Josh tied the knot in 2009 and the couple welcomed their only child four years later.
But by 2017, the famous spouses announced that they were parting ways.
In a statement released to People, they said: "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year.
"To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public.
"We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family."
The performer later told Wendy Williams about the split: “It wasn’t my plan. I wanted to stay together forever.”
However, she seemed to be on good terms with Josh, saying she still has "so much love" for her ex-husband following their split.
She once said: "We're great friends, Josh and I, there's so much love that we have for each other.
"We really like each other, we have fun with each other. We're just not a romantic couple anymore."
The entertainer previously said: "We are still Axl's parents through and through, and our families- each other's families, the cousins, my nieces and nephews- it's all the same. So that's the only thing that's changed."
The two finalized their divorce in 2019.
JOSH'S NEW LOVE
Then in January 2022, Josh announced his engagement to his girlfriend Audra Diane Mari.
The Transformers star took to his Instagram to share the news with fans alongside a photo of him and Audra on a beach.
In the snap, Josh held a crumpled piece of paper that read: "Audra Diane Mari, will you marry me?"
Audra was seen standing behind him smiling and pointing as her soon-to-be husband did the same.
Josh captioned it: "It’s on!! She found a message in a bottle that washed ashore and said YES!!"
People filled the comments section with praise for the couple.
One person wrote: "Congratulations! Many blessings on your marriage!" while another added, "Cute!"
Another chimed in: "I knew this was coming!!! So awesome... Congratulations!!!"
The Safe Haven star and the former Miss North Dakota winner, 29, are believed to have been dating since 2019.
A source previously told ET: "Josh and Audra met through mutual friends and get along really well.
"The two have a great time together and are on the same page about what they want their future to be."
