Jessica Alba is a proud mother and has taken to the micro blogging website Twitter to show off her "lil' lovely" daughter Honor Marie.

After a trip to London to promote her new film Valentine's Day last week, the Hollywood beauty was clearly loving being back home with her daughter.

Alba posted many pictures of the 20-month-old on Twitter, taken on a family day at her Los Angeles residence.

One frame shows Honor trying on a pair of black-rimmed specs while sitting on her mother's knee. Alongside the picture, Jessica wrote, "My lil lovely cute as a button".

Another snap shows the toddler in the backyard wearing a T-shirt that reads 'My heart belongs to Ellen DeGeneres'. Jessica's message read, "Cutest Valentine's Day photo. Thanks to The Ellen Show 4 providing the wardrobe."

Her new romcom Valentine's Day earned USD 52.4 million in it's opening weekend in the US, easily grabbing the No 1 spot. Alba stars alongside an A-list cast in the film, including Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Jessica Biel.
