Next she shared a snap of herself and Ocean at the beach with the Give Them Lala author wearing a bandeau top and jeans and her toddler in a red and white hibiscus print outfit.
The next video clip is of Lala patiently trying to explain to her daughter that, yes, her name is Lala but she’s also ‘Mama.’
Ocean says: ‘You’re Lala and Mama,’ as she snacks on a piece of fruit, adding: ‘Its so funny.’
The next image is an adorable photo of Ocean in a hot pink onesie sitting on the floor in front of an array of colorful building blocks.
The podcast host also shared a photo of herself snuggling with her daughter. They are both wearing tank tops and the little girl’s nose is scrunched up adorably.
The final video in the post shows Lala giving Ocean swimming lessons in the pool of their apartment complex.
The video starts off with the toddler swimming a short distance away from her mother towards the edge of the pool.
Ocean walked around the pool lounger to stand on the edge of the pool. Her mother encouraged her to jump in and swim to her.
She looked darling as she motioned for her mother to come closer to her so that she would feel safer.
Once Lala was an acceptable distance away, Ocean jumped in and swam the short distance on her own.
The final photo in the post shows the cute little girl in leopard print pajamas. She is smiling as she shows off her blue manicure.

Lala first shared a photo of herself wearing the black bikini and sparkling, see-through miniskirt look she wore to the Valley Brat clothing brand party earlier this week.
She captioned the series of snaps and videos: ‘A little bit of life lately. I brought my bum out for the @valleybrat.la party.’
Earlier in the day, Lala dropped the latest episode of her podcast and shared her thoughts of Bethenny Frankel’s controversial interview with VPR’s Raquel Leviss.
First, she branded Leviss’ decision to quit the show following her affair with Tom Sandoval a ‘travesty’ and accused Frankel of manipulating and ‘exploiting’ the star.
She said: ‘It is a travesty that she didn’t end up coming back. She should have come back. I think she would have been very surprised. And instead she went and did this [podcast with Bethenny] and she was manipulated yet again.
‘There were things that she was then saying that were not perspective. It was a flat out lie and I can’t imagine you believe what you are saying.’
She blasted Leviss’ claim she was called ‘reality TV ratings gold’ by herself Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly, saying: ‘That never happened. Raquel that night after she said, “It’s a good thing you don’t have a man,” went to her bedroom.
‘She went to sleep and the next morning when she comes into our room and feels embarrassed is the first time we had seen her. There was no we came into her room and told her she was reality TV ratings gold. This never happened and this isn’t perspective. This is fact. No one every said this to you.
Discussing the controversial podcast, she said: ‘I saw this all the time that there are going to be moments where our voice is all we have. We have all been able to go on a platform — whether it is our own or someone else’s — to share our side of any story.
‘Raquel absolutely has that right and I am happy that she finally got to take advantage of a giant platform to tell her story. I only saw clips and what I gathered from it is Bethenny completely exploited that girl yet again.’
Slamming Leviss for sleeping with Sandoval behind Ariana Madix’s back, she said: ‘I don’t think that reality TV is for everyone. It is a very intense environment. If you are not mentally tough as f**k, it can break you. It definitely can.
‘Now to say that Raquel was a victim of something, I don’t know. What I do know is you made a decision to sleep with your best friend’s partner of 10 years.
‘You didn’t need to do that. No one was forcing you to do it and no one asked you to do that. It felt like Bethenny was really trying to push her in a certain direction.’
