Just a day ago, Teigen showed off the newborn’s face for the first time on her Instagram. The model, who has been documenting her postpartum recovery on social media, uploaded a close-up snap of her daughter on Tuesday, January 24.

She captioned the heartwarming image: "look at u out here lookin' like a baby."
Teigen had also previously given a glimpse of her newborn baby alongside her older siblings on Thursday, January 19 with a sweet photo. She captioned the post, revealing the name of the newborn: "She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens - the house is bustling and our family could not be happier. Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c-section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes - we feel it all!"
According to People, the proud father confirmed the news of their baby's birth only hours after the delivery while chatting with a crowd during a private concert on Friday, January 13. "What a blessed day," he said, adding that he "didn't get a lot of sleep" but he felt "energized" after spending "a lot of time" at the hospital.
