Smile for mommy! Kim Kardashian dotes on her baby girl North during family getaway with fiancé Kanye West

After weeks of keeping her baby girl under wraps, Kim Kardashian seems more comfortable about showing her off now.
For the second time in two days, the 33-year-old reality star was seen cradling her 20-week-old daughter North in her arms while on holiday in Santa Barbara, California with her fiance Kanye West.
Kim was having a precious mother-daughter moment on Friday in an idyllic garden setting, and she was so enamoured with her little one that she hadn't bothered to put on any make-up or style her hair.

Her focus was on entertaining North, and Kim didn't seem to care how silly she looked if it brought a smile to the baby's cherubic face.
Kim kissed her baby's chubby cheek and swayed her in her loving arms.
At one point Kim hoisted North into the air and exaggerated her expressions, but it took a bit of convincing to get the baby in a happy mood.

Down please: North didn't look too sure about the height

When North started whimpering, Kim cradled her to her chest and softly stroked her back.
North sported tufts of black hair on her head and was warmly clad in a beige sweater and white onesie.
Once North's crankiness had subsided, Kim offered her a little giraffe toy, which seemed to do the trick.

Kim was perfectly content while looking slightly rumpled in a thick beige coat and with her blonde-streaked hair spilling across her shoulders.  
On Thursday, Kim also revealed her little North as she enjoyed a relaxing lunch with Kanye, 36.
On that occasion, the new mother held her daughter close while looking sporty in an athletic track suit and wearing minimal make-up.

Up until then, the doting parents have taken pains to conceal the baby under blankets in a covered pram.
Earlier on Thursday, the couple was seen walking to the eatery with Kim holding the baby and Kanye pushing the stroller.
Kim and Kanye welcomed North on June 15, and took their relationship a step further by getting engaged on October 21, Kim’s 33rd birthday.

While Kanye was spending time with his family, his lawyer was in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday to enter a plea for the rapper.
On Kanye's behalf, attorney Blair Berk pleaded not guilty of misdemeanour battery and attempted grand theft in a case filed over a scuffle with a celebrity photographer earlier this year.
