On Friday, the Aquaman star, 35, marked her baby girl Oonagh Paige's six-month birthday by sharing a sweet mother-daughter photograph on her Instagram.

The picture shows Heard, clad in a knitted sweater that coordinated with her daughter's striped overalls, sitting in an armchair as she happily lifted the newborn onto her lap.

"The six best months of my life, the first six months of hers 💕," she wrote in the caption.

Heard first introduced the world to her child in July, when she shared the happy news that she became a mom alongside a photo of herself cuddling with the infant.

"I'm so excited to share this news with you. Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way," she wrote on her Instagram at the time.

"I hope we arrive at a point in which it's normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib," Heard continued. "A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone's business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this."
