Schwarzenegger Pratt shares her two daughters and son Ford, whom she welcomed this past November, with husband Chris Pratt. She is also stepmom to Pratt’s son Jack, 13, whom the actor shares with ex-wife Anna Faris.
In September, the mom of three spoke with PEOPLE and shared an update on her littlest one’s major milestones.
“He seems to be getting his teeth much faster,” said Schwarzenegger Pratt. “He’s moving and grooving. He’s crawling, trying to keep up with his sisters.”
“He’s having teeth that are on a crazy teething tear right now,” she added. “It makes for a lot of emotions and just exciting times. But he’s definitely the coolest, happiest baby ever, so I’m really, really grateful.”
She went on to say that her kids, especially her daughters, “love playing with him,” adding it feels similar to her family dynamic.
“They love playing with him and they love having him now at meal time with them,” said Schwarzenegger Pratt. “It’s really sweet to be able to watch their interactions as siblings and just to see how much his two big sisters love him and dote on him.”
She added, “It feels very familiar to me with the birth order being so similar to me and my family with my brother.”
This past summer, Schwarzenegger Pratt posted a heartfelt tribute to her older daughter, Lyla Maria, on Aug. 6. The author shared a photo of herself carrying her daughter in her arms as she planted a kiss on her cheek.
“Happy 5th birthday to my sweet girl I love you more than words can say 🩷,” she captioned her sweet celebratory post. Pratt, 46, also commemorated his daughter’s birthday with a collage on his Instagram Stories.
The Parks and Recreation alum added six images of Lyla, three of which included her hugging her younger sister, Eloise. He also added two adorable images of Lyla and himself together, one of which included Lyla sitting on his shoulders, while the other captured the father and daughter holding hands.
He captioned the Instagram Stories: “I can’t believe my baby girl is 5!! Time really does fly. I love you, Lyla!”
