Precious cargo: January Jones took her two-week-old son, Xander Dane Jones, to visit a friend on Tuesday afternoon in Santa Monica, California
Mad Men actress January Jones was spotted with her new son Xander Dane for the very first time publicly today.
The new mum also debuted her slim post-pregnancy figure, just two weeks after giving birth to the baby boy.
Dressed for comfort in black trousers, a neutral-colored top and matching boots, the 33-year-old kept a tight grip on her two-week-old as she carried him from the car into her friend's house in Santa Monica, California.
Welcome back: This is the first time January has been photographed publicly since she gave birth earlier this month
While this is the first time the newborn has been photographed in public, January made sure to protect his face from the cameras by covering him up in a blue and white blanket.
The actress also kept a close watch over the precious cargo, before she took him out of the car.
Slimmed down: January already appears to have lost most of the baby weight
After January gave birth on September 13, 2011, many thought the father's identity would finally be revealed.
But the baby daddy mystery continued, as the Mad Men actress left the father's name off her newborn's birth certificate.
According to website TMZ.com, she left a 'big, fat blank spot' on Xander's birth certificate in the space where the father's name would normally be printed.
Protected: January covered the baby's face in a blanket to make sure his face was not photographed
TMZ obtained the document, filed Friday with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which shows January's son is named Xander Dane Jones.
The actress has so far refused to name the father of the baby.
'Mom and baby are doing great,' her representative said in a statement.
Blank: In a document obtained by TMZ, a big blank spot is seen on Xander's birth certificate, in the space where January's supposed to name the father
But January may not be a natural with children - the boy who plays her son on Mad Men recently described her as 'unapproachable' - Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is confident she'll take motherhood in her stride.
He said: 'She has wanted this very badly. She’s got a big heart and she’s been talking about having children since I met her, which is not always common with actresses.
'I think she’s going to be an amazing mother,' he said.
Dressed for comfort: January wore casual clothes and boots that matched the colour of her top
Hands on: January kept close watch over her son before she took him out of the family car
