"To the world, you are a mother...To our family, you are the world...We both love you honey 🍯," Davies wrote alongside pictures of the mother-daughter duo.
Shay sweetly replied, "You both are my 🌎 and I'm so thankful for you! I love you honey"
The reality star first announced her pregnancy with Davies in October 2020 after previously suffering a miscarriage in June.
When sharing the news of baby Summer's arrival, Shay opened up about being diagnosed with "preeclampsia, which has now turned into HELLP syndrome" after the birth.
"Almost 24 hours after being induced, my blood pressure was extremely elevated. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, which has now turned into HELLP syndrome. My doctor said I was lucky, and we caught this just in time to treat as it's very unusual to be caught so late, in postpartum," Shay wrote.
"Until this morning I was on a magnesium drip that made me extremely lethargic and flu-like, shivering uncontrollably to the point where I felt like I was seizing. Having not caught this condition in time, that would have been likely. I am still being monitored closely for elevated liver enzymes and low blood platelets and not sure how much longer we will be here."
She added, "Thank you to everyone who has reached out and sent their love and thank you to the amazing staff here at Cedars-Sinai. We are definitely feeling all the feels and just so excited to be Summer's parents!!!"
