Looks like Sebastian gives his seal of approval! “Did my hair today and this was my son’s reaction… I think he likes it,” Malin Akerman captioned a photo of her 3-week-old son shared on her Instagram account Tuesday.
The Children’s Hospital star, 34, and husband Roberto Zincone‘s baby boy arrived on April 16.
“My husband and I welcomed our beautiful, healthy baby boy to this world this morning! Biggest joy of my life!!!” she said at the time, adding three days later, “Exhausted … but loving every moment of being a new mom!”

Who’s the boss of Alyssa Milano‘s heart? None other than her little man, 20-month-old son Milo Thomas.
“You think you know what love is before you have [kids]. Then you have the baby and it completely shatters whatever concept of [what] love was before you met them,” the actress told PEOPLE at Saturday’s Huggies Snug & Dry and Baby2Baby‘s Mother’s Day Garden Party event in Beverly Hills.
The first-time mom has been soaking up all the time she can with her son, subsequently putting the task of shedding her pregnancy pounds to the back burner. “I was very kind to myself and gave myself a lot of time. No pressure,” she says.
“I find any sort of weight loss is about eating less and moving more, so I just did that and took my time.”
When hit songwriter and former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi and husband Mike McCuddy welcomed son Greyson James Carroll via gestational surrogate in January, it was a dream come true for the couple following five years of heartbreaking fertility issues.
But that’s only part of her story.
Two years ago, the music publisher learned she was a carrier for the BRCA2 gene mutation, which is linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
Then last December, after consulting with her doctor and “mentally preparing myself for the worst-case scenario,” explains DioGuardi, she underwent surgery to remove her uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes — a move medical experts say greatly reduces her chances of developing these cancers in the future.
Now, in hopes of educating others, DioGuardi, 42, is opening up exclusively to PEOPLE about her BRCA2 diagnosis, why she chose surgery — and life as a mom to 3-month-old Greyson.

Sharon Osbourne may be dealing with personal issues at home, but nothing brings a smile to her face faster than talking about her granddaughter Pearl Clementine, who celebrated her first birthday last Wednesday.
“We had a birthday party [on the 20th],” The Talk co-host tells PEOPLE on the set of the show Thursday.
“Lisa and Jack have a lot of friends with one- and two-year-old babies, so they all came. Pearl had her first cupcake — just a little bit of a vanilla one. She went insane — it was unbelievable to see it. She was shaking with excitement.”
The milestones continue for the little one, who is the first grandchild for Sharon.
“She took three steps on her birthday — it was just amazing,” the proud grandmother tells PEOPLE, before adding that there may be more children to come.

It’s all babies, all the time for Jessica Simpson lately.
Just weeks after celebrating the impending birth of her son with a Tom Sawyer-themed baby shower, the Fashion Star mentor, 32, shifted gears from blue to pink and threw her daughter a fair-themed party Sunday to mark Maxwell Drew‘s first birthday.
Held in the backyard of the family’s Hidden Hills home, around 50 guests enjoyed face-painting, coloring tables, beach balls and a children’s band. Food stations were set up around the party, featuring hot dogs, grilled cheese, tacos, fresh fruit, lemonade and candy.
“Maxwell had a great time! Everyone was in great spirits,” a source tells PEOPLE. “All of her grandparents were there. She loved listening to the band and seeing the other babies!”

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
