The touching footage, accompanied by the caption "Gotcha!" and a trio of lighthearted emojis, depicted the doting father moving gracefully around the room. At the same time, their bundle of joy sought comfort nestled against his chest, undisturbed by the vibrant melody playing in the background.

In an adorable display of coordinated fashion, baby Leo wore a cute black onesie, while the sports enthusiast sported black underpants paired with an army-green shirt and white stockings.

In a joyous celebration of her newfound role as a mother, Palmer marked her first Mother's Day in a truly unforgettable manner with a breathtaking array of photos showcasing her timeless beauty.

Taking to Instagram, she shared snaps dressed in a chic black mini dress paired with an oversized black-and-white jacket and pointed-toe white pumps. The "Lightyear" voice actress's perfectly drawn brows, full lashes, and mesmerizing eyeshadow enhanced her radiant face as she lovingly cradled Leodis, who mirrored her in an adorable all-black onesie and socks.

Palmer's short tresses were expertly styled into voluminous, glamorous curls reminiscent of the captivating allure of old Hollywood. Opting for minimal jewelry, she left her neck bare as she penned in the caption, "Happy Mother's Day to a MUVAAAAA."

In another two-set series, the Primetime Emmy Award-winning star exuded allure as she showcased her curves in a figure-hugging white dress featuring delicate straps and a plunging neckline, accentuating her bosom.
