Nicole Polizzi aka Snooki is the cover girl for People magazine this week, but she's not alone, she is showing off her cute little bundle of joy, baby Lorenzo.
People has the exclusive first photos of the reality-show star and her brand-new baby boy, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle. In the photo, Snooki is pictured cozying up with her new little man, promising an inside look "At Home with the Baby!"
The "Jersey Shore" star and fiancé Jionni LaValle, 25, welcomed their little baby boy on Aug. 26 after 24 hours of labor. Snooki told the magazine that having a baby "is a different kind of love that I never felt before."
Snooki, 24, confesses that after having a baby, everything changes, even for reality T.V.'s most famous pint-sized party girl.
"When I got pregnant, everything changed," says Polizzi, who will also appear on the final season of MTV's Jersey Shore, premiering Oct. 4. "The partying is long gone. I'm a new person."
The couple also explained how easy it was to pick a name for the little guy. Jionni was inspired by a child from his hometown. "We were going back and forth, and I just happened to think of Lorenzo... she loved it," he said. The baby's middle name, Dominic, was Snooki's late uncle's name. "I did it for my dad," she said.
Being a mom isn't getting in the way of Polizzi's career. She is currently filming the spin-off "Snooki & JWOWW" and will appear in the final season of "Jersey Shore," premiering Oct. 4 on MTV.
The morning of her son's birth, Snooki tweeted, "I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic! I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs! HE'S MY WORLD!" Snooki and Lorenzo were photographed for People in New Jersey on September 1, one day before the little man turned a week old.
