Her note for her child was sweet.
‘This yummy Birdie is 11 months today!!! I can’t even believe how fast time goes, but when I think about it, I’m like: “Good Lord I have done so much in a year!!!” Ha #BIRDIEMAE,’ wrote Jessica in the caption.
She shares Birdie and her elder two children, seven-year-old daughter Maxwell and six-year-old son Ace, with her second husband Eric Johnson.
She also praised her father.
‘My entire life all I have ever wanted is to be the brightest light that you ignited within me to shine so that others could be guided into their own personal transcending greatness of being,’ she wrote alongside a picture of them.

‘Thank you for always guiding me with love, leadership, and compassion to the unimaginable achievement of infinite dreams,’ she continued.
‘There is nothing in life I am not strong enough for because of your ability to believe the truest purpose is always within reach. Dad, you are my heartbeat and all that I am will forever be held by your love. Happy Birthday!!! I love you,’ Jessica concluded.
In her hit new memoir Open Book, Jessica recalled that her father Joe brought a male model she had never met to her 2014 wedding to Eric.

‘I reminded myself that I needed to accept my father for who he was as he worked it out in real-time,’ wrote Jessica of Joe, an ex-pastor.
Just before giving her away during her first wedding to Nick Lachey, Joe asked: ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’
She replied: ‘Dad, I’m walking down this aisle and getting married. You’re giving me away. You have to. I’ll always be your little girl, but you have to do this for me.’

Jessica neglected to obtain a prenuptial agreement, so when she and Nick finally got divorced in 2006 she lost $12 million.
Her parents Tina and Joe split up in 2012 – and he informed Jessica of the separation while she was in the hospital to deliver Maxwell.
Although Jessica ‘resented’ her father around the time of the divorce, which was finalized in 2013, they have patched up their relationship.
