DREW Barrymore has shown off her adorable daughter Frankie for the first time.

The 39-year-old actress appears on the cover of the latest edition of People magazine holding the gorgeous baby girl she and husband Will Kopelman welcomed on April 22.

The actress says her recovery was quicker during than after her first pregnancy with elder daughter Olive, 20 months.

“I knew that I have two kids to take care of now and just kicked my own butt to get back into the swing of things immediately,” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.

She says the biggest challenge is trying to split her time between her two children.

“They’re awake and asleep at different times, or awake at the same time, and it’s a juggling act a little bit.”

Barrymore, who is an only child herself said her own tumultuous childhood influenced what she saw as most important for her kids.

She wanted Olive “to have a sibling, because I really would have liked that in my life,” she says. “And always being on time, being there when I say I’m going to be there. Creating a real stable home. I know when my daughter wants to swing higher and jump into the pool and all of these things, she feels safe. To make your kids feel safe is everything.”

She said the pair get on well. “Olive loves Frankie and just wants to hang out with her all the time,” she adds. “She wants to feed her. She’s super into it. That’s now. I’m sure things will ebb and flow.”

Barrymore next appears in Blended alongside Adam Sandler, but admitted she wasn’t sure she still wanted to be an actress after Olive’s birth.

“I didn’t think I could go back to work, honestly. I didn’t want to be away from my kids and it just wasn’t the priority,” she says. “With Adam, he makes everything really safe because he really creates an environment where kids can come and be a part of it. It was a really big lesson for me.”
