In January the #bronde beauty spoke to People magazine about what becoming a mom means to her. “I don’t feel like it’s amassive change, I’ve always felt like a mama,” she said. “This isthe happiest time of my life, and I could say that everyday. I often feel like‘I can’t believe I’m experiencing this.’”

The Gossip Girl star, who has been filming her new movie All I See is You in Thailand, joinsthe ranks of other celebrity moms like Kourtney Kardashian, Kristen Bell, JaimeKing, and Gisele Bundchen, who have taken to their social media accounts tocrush the stigma that comes with breastfeeding children in public.

Although Blake and 38-year-old Ryan havenot debuted their daughter's face, little James has made plenty of appearanceson her parents social media accounts. One of the most notable was the Father’s Day poston her page, that showed her Deadpool husband holding her in a babycarrier. The image happened to generate backlash from fans who felt the new dad was carryingJames incorrectly.

“The baby’s not properlysecured in the vessel I’m wearing there,” Ryan told NBC's Today. “I’m afirst time dad, and that is not the first mistake I’ve made. I can guaranteeyou it won’t be the last.”

Ryan also couldn't help but gush over his ladies, who he left in Thailand, when he appeared on Live! With Kelly and Michael for his film Self/less. "She's great, man. She's great," he told Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan of their daughter. "They [Blake and James] are in Bangkok right now. I just got back. That is the worst jetlag on Earth because it's the exact opposite."
