Jessica Alba: 'Honor Is The Love of My Life'

When Jessica Alba attended the Keep A Child Alive 5th Annual Black Ball last Thursday, all she could talk about was her 5-month-old daughter, Honor!

"Everything is cute, everything is fun," the actress told PEOPLE, "including the explosive diarrhea – the best ever."

Jessica credits little Honor with bringing her closer than ever to her husband, Cash Warren, saying that motherhood "brings family together. It brings friends together. It makes every decision that you make that much more important."

Jessica is now eagerly awaiting her daughter's first word, saying, "I think she accidentally says 'Mama' when she's crying," says Alba. "But I don't know if it is on purpose yet."

Before first words, however, may come something most parents long for from the moment they bring the baby home - the time when they start sleeping through the night!

"It depends on what you think sleeping through the night is," says Alba. "She gets a few bottles a night, yes. But she doesn't wake up and want to hang out.

All in all, Jessica is in an extremely happy place - all thanks to her daughter. "She's the love of my life. The love is profound. She gives everything more meaning."
