Emma Roberts is loving life with her baby boy.

On Sunday, the actress, 30, gave fans a rare glimpse at her 4-month-old son, Rhodes Robert, as she celebrated her first Mother's Day as a new mom.

The Scream Queens star, who welcomed her first baby with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund in December, posted an affectionate shot of her cuddling with Rhodes while standing on a back patio.

In the adorable picture, Roberts holds Rhodes close to her face as the pair sweetly touch noses. The baby boy is wrapped in a cream blanket and wearing a tan beanie while Roberts wears a pair of red sunglasses and a white off-the-shoulder dress.

"Happy Mother's Day 🌼," she captioned the photo.

"It's not something you'll always feel like you're getting right, but you will get better every day. When in doubt, just love your child and yourself," Roberts said during a conversation with Jamie Lee Curtis.

Curtis also asked who Roberts most admires, to which the new mom replied, "My mom, especially after having a baby. I kiss the ground she walks on!"

Roberts told Cosmopolitan for the magazine's December issue that she originally wanted to be married and have children by age 24.

"At 16, I thought, 'By the time I'm 24, I'll be married with kids,' " she said at the time. "And then I was 24 and I was like, 'Remember when I said I would be married with kids by now?' ... It sounds cheesy, but the moment that I stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant."
