Stacy Keibler took to her personal blog [1] on Monday to share the first photo of her daughter, Ava Grace Pobre, who was born in August [2]. In an entry titled "Blessings," Stacy included the adorable snap while writing a heartfelt post about the arrival of her little one, saying, "Life can be unpredictable. You feel one way, and then . . . boom! You need to entirely change your perspective. That is certainly what happened to me this past year. Until I started dating Jared, the idea of being married and having a family was never on my radar. I was just hoping that the right love would find me." She added, "Ava has graced us with such joy, such light and such love — we never saw it coming. She is our special little lady, and I couldn't be more thankful for how she has opened my heart."

It's been a whirlwind year for Stacy, who married Jared back in March [3], less than a year after her surprising split from George Clooney [4]. It's the first time we've gotten a glimpse of little Ava since her birth over the Summer, though we did see lots of Stacy's baby bump during multiple outings throughout her pregnancy, including a bikini-clad beach day [5] in Mexico in May. Stacy isn't the only celebrity who became a mom this year — see all the stars who welcomed bundles of joy in 2014 [6].
