Park life: Selma Blair is back on parent duty as she takes baby

She was spotted last week taking some time out as a lady of leisure away from her baby son Arthur.
But it seems Selma Blair is at her happiest when she's back on parent duty.
The actress, 40, headed to a local Los Angeles park with her beloved tot ready to spend some quality time with him.

 

Bonding time: Selma Blair delights in taking on her mummy duties as she takes baby son Arthur to a Los Angeles park for a day out

 

Give us a kiss! The actress sat on the grass as she entertained her son by introducing him to a friend's puppy pug

The star looked delighted as she sat on the grass with her boy sitting on her lap as she gave him cuddles.
And Selma kept him perfectly entertained as she introduced him to a pal's little puppy pug.
Arthur looked ecstatic to meet his new playmate as he happily stroked its coat and ran around with the pooch.

 

Play time: Selma looked delighted as she played with both her son and the puppy in the sunshine

 

Playing ball: The star seemed ecstatic to be spending some quality time with her son as they played in the park together

Selma looked relaxed as she sat cross legged wearing her smart casual ensemble.
She opted for jeans and a baggy cram jumper which she livened up with some bright fuchsia shoes and a black trilby sun hat.
The actress looked almost barefaced as she picked up the puppy and even kissed him, much to Arthur's amusement.

 

Bemused: The actress dressed casually in jeans and bright shoes with a cream jumper as she spent the day with her beloved boy

 

Playing games: She showed she's still young at heart as she fooled around to amuse her son on the grass

 

And relax: Selma looked in her element as she let Arthur climb all over her as she lay on the ground

At one point Arthur played in a shed and looked bemused as the pup ran along by his feet.
And to keep him even more active they then played with a ball for the rest for the afternoon.
It made a change for Selma, who was last seen off parent duty lapping up her time off.
She headed out for a sunny meal with her mother Molly last week as they took in the sights of Studio City.

 

 

Playing chase: Arthur beamed as his new dog pal ran after him as they lapped up the sunny day

 

Hours of fun: Selma put her black trilby hat on as she sat cross legged on the grass and teased her boy with the little pooch

 

 

Child's play: Selma seemed to be enjoying herself just as much as she had her own turn playing ball with the dog

Not joining the pair on that occasion was Selma's 19-month-old son Arthur, whom grandmother Molly has had a helping hand in raising.
The actress split from Arthur's father Jason Bleick last September and has adapted well to life as a single mother.
Selma has been spending plenty of time with her son over the holiday period, before she embarks on her next film project.

 

Happy pair: Selma enjoyed her down time away from work while she could before her schedule picks up once more

 

Just having a rest: Selma smiled as she acted as a climbing frame for her tot during their fun afternoon together

 

Dog lover: Arthur showed he was animal friendly as he patted the pooch's head and giggled with delight as they played together

The raven-haired beauty will next be seen opposite Melanie Lynskey in forthcoming period film Four Saints - about four nurses who operate an illegal dressing station near the trenches of World War I.
She also stars alongside Charlie Sheen in his latest sitcom Anger Management.
