Prior to her baby girl's arrival, the Crikey! It's the Irwins star revealed to The Bump why Terri decided to go by that name.

"My extraordinary mama is my best friend and I know that she is going to be such an amazing grandmother," Bindi said at the time. "We spent a long time searching for grandma names that also had an animal link. We decided that she's going to be called 'Bunny.'"

"When she was growing up in Oregon her neighbor down the street was always called 'Bunny.' It only just dawned on us that it wasn't her name, but rather what everyone called her since she was a grandmother figure to the entire neighborhood," she added.

Bindi and husband Chandler Powell welcomed baby Grace into the world on March 25, one year after the two tied the knot.

In June, the couple opened up to PEOPLE about adjusting to parenthood for the first time.

"When we first got her home, it's as if she's always been with us," Bindi said. "It's a really strange feeling when you can't remember what your life was like before this beautiful little person. I never knew love like this before."

Powell added, "It was surreal bringing her home and knowing that that's our baby. It's amazing how you can go without sleep and still think this little thing is the most magical thing in the world."
