She enjoyed a family celebration as she toasted her youngest child's first birthday on Tuesday.

And Zoe Saldana kept her adorable son Zen close to her as she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday to catch a flight.

The actress, 39, was make-up free as she strolled through the terminal with her little man protectively strapped to her chest.

The Avatar star kept casual and comfortable for her flight, wearing a white patterned shirt, baggy ripped jeans and black leather lace-up boots.

The mother-of-three wore her raven locks scraped back from her face and accessorized with thick-rimmed red specs.

Carrying a black coat and bag in one hand, Zoe maneuvered through security with her little boy strapped to her chest in a baby carrier.

Although the actress looked cool, calm and collected, she took to her Instagram page to reveal she was feeling a little frazzled.

Alongside a video of she and Zen with twins Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, three, running around by her feet, she admitted she was 'feeling sorry for myself'.

Zoe wrote: 'Can I be my own #wcw today? Feeling really sorry for myself right now and need the boost! #travelingwithkids #workingmom #workingbeforechristmas/'

On Tuesday, the actress and her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, celebrated little Zen's first birthday.

Posting a heartwarming message on her Instagram page, it marked the first time she has shared their son's official birthday and middle names.

The image showed Zen Anton Hilario being kissed on the head tenderly by one of his twin brothers.

'Happy Birthday Zen Anton Hilario,' she told her 2 million Instagram followers. 'You came into our lives in the most 'zen' way, and today you still continue to be our little Yogi baby.

'Your Joie de Vie keeps all of us wrapped around your little finger. Your brothers are the most blessed big brothers in the world. Your brothers are the most blessed big brothers in the world.

'Thank you for choosing us to guide you through your first life years, we are honored. Zen Zen, the world will be as worthy of you as any child in this world. We will work towards that purpose every day.

'You are seen, loved, respected and protected by everyone that knows you. God Bless you baby boy!'

Doting parents: Zoe and Marco are also proud parents to twins Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, three, and they announced the arrival of Zen in February via Instagram

Zen's surprise arrival was announced by the couple - who married in London in June 2013 after a whirlwind three-month romance - on February 13 via Instagram.

The mom-of-three said in an interview with People that the couple are being 'very meticulous' about how they discuss the way they completed their family, until their youngest son is older.

She explained: 'When we’re there, when the time comes and our third baby is a little older, and all the forces that helped us have him with us are comfortable, then we will share it because we know it would be very positive and inspiring to many families that are looking to complete themselves and are not able to do it in the conventional way.

'Seeking alternative ways to start a family should be encouraged, should be empowered and I think we should spread that education, that information out there, when the time is right.'

Zoe is currently shooting the highly anticipated sequel to Avatar.
