All grown up! Matilda Ledger looks even more like late dad Heath as she marks her 11th birthday with mom Michelle Williams
It seems like just yesterday the Hollywood stars' welcomed their little girl not the world and feels just like yesterday that the world had to say goodbye to her father.
Matilda Ledger is hurtling towards her teenage years and could not look more like her dad Heath with a sprinkling of mom Michelle Williams on top.
Matilda and her 36-year-old mother went for an early morning walk in Brooklyn, New York, to grab some treats for the no-so-little girl to take to school and share with her friends.

Walking along in the Red Hook area with their dog, it was impossible not to see Heath Ledger in his daughter.
Matilda's eyes brown eye were like staring into the late actor's and her cheeky grin was the perfect blend of the Aussie star's and her mother's sweet smile.
It was also very evident on Friday that it will not be long before the now 11-year-old towers over her mom.
The 11-year-old was just two years old when her father passed away.

When Matilda was four, the star told Vogue: 'Every time I really miss him and wonder where he’s gone, I just look at her.'
The actress said Heath, because he was loved by so many, is always with them.
'Matilda can know her dad in so many ways, and so many of his friends who will be able to tell her stories. His friends, his family – they were a big part of his life, and they will be a big part of her life.'
Matilda is the only child of Michelle and Heath, who fell in love while working together on their film Brokeback Mountain.
The pair started dating in 2004 and welcomed their daughter in October of the following year.
Michelle and Heath ended their relationship in September 2007, four months before he died at the age of 28 from cardiac arrest brought on by prescription drug intoxication.
