On Tuesday, the Assistant to the President and First Daughter Ivanka Trump shared a photo with her new nephew Luke.
Eric 'Luke' Trump was born 12 September and is the son of Ivanka's younger brother Eric, and his wife Lara.
In the caption, Trump said cuddling her nephew was:
...the best part of an otherwise incredible day!
