While promoting her partnership with HelloFresh, Keke detailed the holiday tradition she aims to establish with her son.

“I love the idea of doing ornaments for every year of [Leo’s] first, second, third, fifth, whatever Christmases,” she told Us Weekly. “But then also the idea that it’s something that can be a namesake within our family. That’s something I’m excited for.”

The actress continued, “Maybe it can even become a tradition … each year, that you do a new custom one to mark his age and his growth and that it’s something that he can also pass down and do with his children. I think that that’s actually a tradition that we’ll probably continue.”

Keke also shared the progress Leo has made as he approaches his first birthday.

“He’s been rocking back and forth, so that’s a really cool thing,” she said. “And he’s been kind of — not crawling, crawling, but sliding. So it’s like he’s just about to crawl. He also has a budding tooth at the bottom that’s getting ready to come. So I’m very excited about that.”
