Charlize Theron’s son Jackson has made his public debut! The first photos of the star’s adopted baby boy have arrived, taken at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris on Tuesday.

The adoption of Jackson from South Africa, where the actress was born and raised, was announced on Mar. 14 without any previous word Charlize Theron was in the process of becoming a mom having been made public. The little boy is now 6-months-old.

“It’s been amazing, the amount of emails and congratulations,” the 36-year-old said of public reaction to her adoption news. “Everyone’s just been so lovely — it’s been really nice.”

“I didn’t think I would be a fan of the swaddling, but the swaddling’s pretty amazing,” she went on to say of the go-to soothing technique she’s come to love. “It sort of looks a bit like a straitjacket — you’re like, ‘Is this child abuse?’ — but for some reason they just love it.”
