Lana shared her own photo on Sunday of her mother holding her new granddaughter (and partial namesake!). “Happy Mother’s Day to my momma! @monielutgert hanging last week with baby girl-Serafina Simone,” Lana captioned the shot. “Love you mama and thanks for showing me what it takes to be an awesome mother!!! 💖💖💖”

The couple celebrated their baby girl’s impending arrival by throwing a “Baby Bash” in April. As Maniscalco told PEOPLE, “We thought it would be boring to throw a baby shower.”
At the time, the parents-to-be already knew they were expecting a daughter — “We are planners, so we wanted to get a jump-start on purchasing clothes and preparing the nursery,” Maniscalco said — but were keeping the name under wraps until her birth.
“I’m looking forward to the baby squeezing my finger and [me] squeezing her chubby legs,” he told PEOPLE, adding that the duo would be bringing their little one on the road for his shows.
