One month after welcoming daughter Kaia Lily to the world, Kristen Doute is showing off her beautiful baby girl.
The Valley star shared some sweet photos on Instagram of her bright-eyed baby girl, who arrived in June.
She captioned the adorable photo, “[a] daily dose of Kaia cuteness.”
Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick welcomed baby Kaia earlier this year
The Vanderpump Rules alum and her fiancé Luke Broderick announced the arrival of their baby girl on June 13. At that time, Kristen posted a photo on Instagram showing her holding Kaia’s tiny hand in her own. She captioned the post, “We’ve never known a love like this until you.”
Concurrently, she told Us Weekly that their daughter’s name had a special meaning to them. The name symbolized a tribute to Hawaii, where Kristen and Luke got engaged. “Kaia” means “sea” in Hawaiian.
“We knew we wanted our baby name to have something to do [with] … water,” Kristen explained. “Lillies are my favorite flower. They’re associated with new beginnings, beauty … The name Lily indicates a ‘gentle and compassionate nature, suggesting a kind and caring personality.’”
Back in April, Kristen told People that they settled on their baby’s name months prior to her birth. “She has been named since before we got pregnant,” the James Mae founder revealed. “Of course, we had to revisit the name and make sure it [felt] right, and it did.”
Furthermore, Kristen shared that they were already calling her by name before she was born, “especially Luke in the beginning.”
Meanwhile, Kristen has moved into protective mommy mode, determined to guard her tiny daughter from germs and illness. “My baby is under a month old & this goes for family & friends,” she wrote on Instagram last month. “Don’t kiss my baby. Don’t touch her face. If you were out of town, at a party, have even a TICKLE in your throat – don’t come over. Get that TDAP shot, baby! If i’m cool with you holding her, i’ll let you know so please don’t ask and make it weird … Babies are small & germs are big.”
The Valley airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
