Celebrity moms probably have a difficult time deciding when, if ever, is the right time to introduce their newborn baby to the public. On the one hand, they know paparazzi will eventually snap that money shot as they are leaving their homes for a doctor appointment -- it's inevitable. Some smart celebs make the choice to take matters into their own hands and release baby photos when they feel it's the right time.
Alyssa Milano is one smart cookie. The Mistressses actress took to Instagram following the birth of her daughter Elizabella Dylan Bugliari and posted the most adorable first public baby photo we've seen in a long time. It's a bit unusual -- but just perfect.
Alyssa made sure to include her son Milo, 3, in the precious shot and posted the following beside it: "Milo meets his baby sister for the first time." But, as you'll see, she left a few things out:
Oh my goodness -- how cute is this?! All we get are hands and teeny feet but the message is clear: Milo is going to be an amazing, protective big brother.
I love how Alyssa has protected her family's privacy by excluding Milo and Elizabella's faces from the shot -- yet she still manages to give people a glimpse into her sweet new world. When I gave birth to my first baby, I became obsessed with capturing her tiny toes on camera -- don't ask me why. There was something so intimate about those photos -- I still look back at them and smile.
Since Alyssa has posted full-length shots of Milo on her Instagram, there's no doubt she'll do the same with her daughter. But she's got time for all of that and, for now, this first glance at Elizabella is just wonderful.
Do you like Alyssa's photo? Do you have any creative photos of your babies?
