Hailie Jade is celebrating a Christmas like no other — turning 30 and watching her son Elliot experience his very first holiday. No spotlight, no spectacle, just matching plaid pajamas, a glowing Christmas tree, and a quiet moment between mother and son. “Thirty, flirty and surviving,” Hailie wrote, a playful nod to the early days of motherhood. It’s a milestone that makes many realize the little girl Eminem once protected from the spotlight is now stepping into a role her father once knew well — becoming a parent, quietly and on her own terms.

This Christmas is full of new traditions for Hailie Jade Scott.

The Just a Little Shady podcast host and influencer, 30, took to Instagram to share glimpses of her son Elliot Marshall’s first Christmas, marking a special moment for her and husband, Evan McClintock.

In the sweet photos, Scott could be seen wearing matching plaid pajamas with her baby son Elliot as the two looked at a glittering Christmas tree together. Elliot had his arm around his mom and wore a Santa hat in the photo.

Other shots show the little one among his presents under the tree, picking them up to play. “Thirty, festive, and surviving — the merriest Christmas yet 🎄❤️,” Scott, who is also celebrating her 30th birthday on Christmas, wrote in her caption.

Last month, a source told PEOPLE that Scott and McClintock’s first baby continues to bring them joy as he marks new milestones.

“Elliot just hit that really exciting stage where he’s curious about everything. He’s reaching for things and trying to move around on his own,” the source said. “It’s adorable to watch him explore, and Hailie is soaking up every moment.”

The insider added that the influencer “still can’t believe she’s a mom” at times. “It almost seems too good to be true,” the source continued. “She and Evan are so looking forward to celebrating their first holiday season as a family. They couldn’t be happier.”

The proud mom announced her son’s arrival in April when she shared a photo of Elliot on Instagram. A sign with his full name and birthdate revealed that the influencer named her child after her Grammy-winning father, whose real name is Marshall Mathers.

A few months after she welcomed Elliot, Scott opened up to PEOPLE exclusively in June about the challenges of raising her son in the spotlight, similar to how her own father, Eminem, raised her when she was young.

“Having been in the spotlight for so long, I’ve learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,” Scott told PEOPLE exclusively.

“Over time, I’ve come to understand the struggle my father faced — wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids,” she admitted at the time.

Since giving birth to her son, the social media star said she relates to her father as a parent now that she’s experienced it for herself.

“I feel the same way now,” she told PEOPLE of her mixed feelings about raising a baby amid fame. “I want to share the proud, joyful moments that mean a lot to me, especially as a parent, but I’m also intentional about keeping certain parts of our lives just for us.”
