“Yesterday we celebrated my Havie baby as she turned 1️⃣1️⃣ ????,” Alba wrote on Instagram. “I am so proud of the beautiful human this leo ?angel is ? an old soul, able to see through all the ish, the most kind, intelligent, happy, positive human ? Haven, nothing is out of your reach – you can do anything you set your mind to as long as you keep following your ♥️ and trusting your gut. I got your back forever kiddo – keep doing your thing, I’m here cheering you on ? your power lies in your kind heart, sweet nature and perseverance.”
Last year Alba opened up about how a therapist was helping her effectively communicate with her oldest daughter, Honor. “[Honor] really felt empowered to find her voice, speak her voice, and own her opinions,” she said in a conversation with Katherine Schwarzenegger. “She was like, ‘You need to spend more time with me alone without Haven around.’ That was a big one…‘You need to treat me like I’m me and she’s her. You can’t mush us together.’ I have to say, I kind of still struggle with that.”
