Tarek & Heather Rae El Moussa celebrated their first Easter with their baby boy, Tristan Jay in the most entertaining way!
The couple has continued to enjoy every moment they can with their nearly three-month-old baby boy, partaking in multiple activities during the long weekend, according to a recent social media update. Meanwhile, Tarek's other kids — Taylor Reese and Brayden James — spent the special time with his ex-wife Christina Hall and her husband, Joshua, in Tennessee.
Tarek & Heather Rae El Moussa's Newborn Marks His First Easter
Tarek and Heather marked the first Easter celebration with their son in what appeared to be a green-colored swimming pool. In photos shared by Heather on Sunday, the baby boy is seen sporting a green wide-brimmed hat and blue swimming trunks.
His father matched the tot with his blue shorts, while his mother donned a brown one-piece that highlighted her cleavage and a visor hat. Both parents added dark sunglasses as they smiled at the camera and held their baby in the pool.
Although all three El Moussas have smiles on in the first slide, the atmosphere seemed a bit more serious in the next, with Tristan getting ready to let out a howl. In the third image, the doting parents looked at their bundle of joy with love while Tarek put his arms around his wife's waist. Explaining the unforgettable moment, Heather wrote in the caption:
"Tristan's first dip in the pool and he's our little swimmer boy. A lot of firsts happening this past week! First time in a new environment, first Easter, first time in the pool and he's doing so good. He's such a chill happy baby boy."
The post has already accrued over 69k likes, with hundreds more stepping into the comment section to air their thoughts, with one commenter applauding the mother-of-one for making "motherhood exciting" while being "an inspiration to a lot of mother's out there. An influencer."
A second person asked her to "keep it up," and a third lauded, "Aww so precious!!!!! He's literally the cutest." Amid the outpour of love, a few people showed concern that Tristan was already taking dives in the pool.
One such netizen advised Heather to "take it easy" on the youngin because he "is not age appropriate to be in a pool," with the hope that "he doesn't get sick." In response, the 35-year-old explained, "it's our private pool, it was heated, he was in there for 10 minutes and right after he had a fresh bath."
Speaking of baths, the "Selling Sunset" star recently teamed up with her beau to give their son a family bath. Per The Blast, the "Love in the Time of Machines" actress shared a series of snaps, leading with the one that highlighted the moment she planted a kiss on the adorable child's temple.
In the next slide, the blonde beauty is seen smiling as she cradles her son's head while Tarek rinses off his body. Once they rounded up the occasion, Heather swaddled Tristan in a natural-toned blanket, placing him on her chest.
The post has received over 150k likes and hundreds of comments praising the twosome for their "amazing" parenting.
The Former Playboy Playmate Opens Up About Her Motherhood Experience
Last month, The Blast observed that Heather made a candid post about her motherhood experience in the weeks following the arrival of Tristan. The reality star had taken to her Instagram Story, where she posted a picture of her wearing a shiny gray bathrobe and a black inner top.
Her bare face told a story of tiredness as she rested her temple on one of her hands. Across the image, "The Flipping El Moussas" star penned, "I'm as tired as I look. Sleep with a newborn isn't sleep… it's checking them every few minutes, every noise, every movement…"
In a previous Story, the doting mom had disclosed how difficult it was for Tristan to latch on and feed due to his health issues, including a lip tie, tongue tie, and jaundice. Luckily, she and Tarek had caught the challenges on time and were rectifying them.
Despite that, Heather recalled having "many tearful nights in the beginning" due to her being awake at "3 am trying to feed him," — an exercise that ended with her feeling "so defeated."
