"Natalie Portman looked every inch the proud mother as she hugged baby Aleph close yesterday in Santa Monica.
The Oscar winning actress wrapped her arms around her little bundle of joy, who she carried on her front in a baby sling.
Aleph wore blue trousers and light blue socks, while Natalie wore a conservative black and white polka dot blouse, black slacks, and Converse shoes.

The Israeli-born stunner is quite a fan of polka dots, having showed off her svelte post-pregnancy figure in a red vintage polka-dot Christian Dior gown at last week's Academy Awards ceremony.
Natalie and rumoured husband Benjamin Millepied were taking their son to a Jewish temple in the Santa Monica area of Los Angeles.
Although the couple have not confirmed their marriage, the pair both sported wedding bands as they brought Aleph to a synagogue.
Natalie and Benjamin first sparked rumours they had tied the knot in secret when they were both seen wearing rings at the Oscars.
This year they appeared to be each wearing a silver band on their respective ring fingers to walk the red carpet arm in arm at the awards ceremony.
The couple fell in love while making Black Swan and announced their engagement and pregnancy in December 2010.
