Alicia Silverstone is filled with admiration for how her son Bear is growing up. The 46-year-old Clueless actress recently celebrated her son's 12th birthday by sharing a series of photos from the past few years on Instagram.
"Happy Birthday to my Bear Blu. I know he won't see this because he doesn't have social media, but I wanted to celebrate him in honor of his bday," the proud mom wrote, adding: "I can't believe he's 12."
Last year, Alicia and Bear were featured in PETA's "Good as Hell" campaign, which encourages people to stop consuming animal products and adopt a vegan diet.
In the campaign video, Silverstone wore a shirt that read, "GO Vegan," while Bear stood next to her in a black shirt featuring a red stop sign with the words "STOP eating animals."

During the conversation, Alicia revealed that she and Bear, whom she shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, still sleep together.
She explained that her parenting style is about "following nature."

A few years back Alicia also admitted that she still takes baths with her son.

"My son and I take baths together, and when he's not with me, I take a bath and that really feels nourishing and comforting."
She further shared that she has been focused on finding activities to do with Bear, including bouncing on the mini trampoline, dancing or jump roping.
