Heather RaeandTarek El Moussa’s little guy is having fun under the sea!

On Monday, the couple shared a jointInstagrampost featuring a carousel of photos from an underwater-themed party for son Tristan’s first birthday. Heather, 36, carries her son and poses next to husband Tarek, 42, who cradles the back of their son’s head in one sweet shot.

Tristan can be seen sitting next to his blue cake, which is decorated with seaweed, coral and goldfish. His older siblings Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8 — who Tarek shares with ex-wifeChristina Hall— were also at the party, which featured blue, green and gold balloons, as well as blue cupcakes.

“Tristan’s ONEder the sea 🌊 🐠🦈 🐳 birthday party was perfect in every way. Our hearts are so full. 🥹☺️,” the proud mom wrote in her caption.

“Wanted to do a little roundup of some of our favorite moments from his party but also ICYMI- we originally had planned on throwing a bigger birthday for him & it got completely out of control and we ended up deciding to pivot and do a very intimate party at our own house.”

At the end of January, theFlipping El Moussasstarscelebrated their son Tristan as he turned one year old, sharing a gallery of photos to their Instagrams. In the snaps, Tarek rested Tristan on his lap, holding him upright while the little boy looked at the camera.

Heather lifted her son in another photo and captured her newly minted one-year-old as he crawled around on the ground.
