Katherine Schwarzenegger ‘excited’ for her daughter’s first Christmas

The 31-year-old author and her husband Chris Pratt welcomed their daughter Lyla into the world in August, and can’t wait for the four-month-old tot to celebrate her first ever Christmas later this month.

Katherine told People magazine: “Just being able to experience her first Christmas is exciting, of course, and just being together as a family. This is a really unique holiday season, so being safe is the number one priority and, of course, just enjoying Christmas morning for the first time for her is going to be really awesome.”

Meanwhile, the beauty recently said getting to experience her baby daughter first Christmas will be “a big silver lining of joy and light” amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Alongside a picture of a baby ornament with “First Christmas” on it, which she received from her sister Christina, Katherine wrote on Instagram: “While this Holiday season will look different for us all, this little ornament my sister Christina got us, and the experience of our daughters first Christmas is a big silver lining of joy and light for me. 2020 has been a crazy year, it’s not what any of us expected; it’s been filled with a lot of challenging times and unpredictable twists and turns. It has also been a year of immense joy for those of us who have welcomed life into the world. Being pregnant in a pandemic and having a baby too, was not how I expected my pregnancy and becoming a mother to go, but i couldn’t be more thrilled and grateful to have my little Lyla Maria in my life and to be able to be her mom. Shout out to all the people who had babies this year, became pregnant, are pregnant, or are trying to get pregnant. It’s a wild time to embark on this journey of motherhood and I see you! (sic)”

Lyla is the first child for Katherine and Chris, although the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ actor is already father to eight-year-old son Jack, whom he has with his ex-wife Anna Faris.
