For the first time, Marian Rivera brings her seven-month-old daughter Zia to the presscon of Johnson's Baby Bath and Lotion at Market! Market! activity center earlier today, July 5.
In an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), the Kapuso actress revealed that she was a bit nervous since her husband Dingdong Dantes didn’t make it in time for Baby Zia’s first public appearance.
“Siguro ako, as a mom ni Zia, medyo nate-tense ako. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko,” Marian said.
“Kasi bago umalis ng bahay, ako yung nag-ayos sa kanya, e. Ako yung nagpaligo. Pinadede ko muna bago ako umalis.
“Kasi si Dong [Dingdong], hindi siya nakaabot kasi nasa London siya.
"So makakauwi siya mamaya pang 6 p.m. yata. Nagi-guilty nga siya na wala siya. Sabi niya, ‘Tignan mo binili ko pa si Zia ng yellow dress.’”
But as it turned out, Marian had nothing to worry since Baby Zia breezed through the presscon without a glitch!
PEP rounds up the things we loved about the DongYan baby in her first public appearance:
1. She looked oh-so adorbs!
Don't you just wanna hug and shower her with kisses?
Those chubby cheeks, we want to pinch them.

2. She was not a crybaby.
Some babies are easily overwhelmed by huge crowd, but definitely not Baby Zia.
She seemed unruffled by the loud cheers of the audience who were excited to see her for the first time.

3. She was very prim and proper.
Baby Zia didn’t make a fuss when the burst of confetti began to fall on stage. She just quietly looked around and observed the crowd.

4. She was matchy matchy with Mommy.
Baby Zia wore a yellow eyelet dress with matching headband and girly socks. She looked so put together just like her mom who opted for a white halter top and yellow midi skirt.

5. She’s a future heartbreaker.
There's no denying the fact that Baby Zia looks a cross between her mom and dad.
With such beautiful parents, you can just imagine how gorgeous Baby Zia will be when she grows up!
