The star and her husband, Josh Smith, welcomed daughter Ava Jolie on 16 August (15), and they have taken to Facebook.com to share the first photos of their bundle of joy.

In the shots, little Ava is asleep on a pink blanket, with one snap featuring her wearing tiny angel wings.

Peck added the caption, "Josh & I got to welcome our precious little Ava in to the world on Sunday night... We are both so in love with her and in awe of this beautiful moment!!!"

Ava's arrival comes a month early, as Peck previously revealed her due date was 14 September - the new mum's 37th birthday.

Peck and Smith, a production assistant on U2's current tour, wed last year (14).
