Kim Kardashian shares pic of 'angel' North West

KIM Kardashian has shared a rare picture of her baby daughter North West.

Kardashian posted the photo, only the second image of the four-month-old bub, to her Instagram with the caption: "I missed waking up with my little angel", after retuing to Los Angeles after attending Paris Fashion Week.

The adorable image shows a tightly swaddled North, who seems to have inherited her mum’s eyes, laying on a cosy white blanket.

Kardashian was reunited with North after a whirlwind trip to Paris this week with rapper boyfriend Kanye West.

Despite their separation, North was never far from her mum’s mind, with Kardashian sporting a "Nori" necklace with her daughter’s nickname, and flashing North's photo on her smartphone screensaver.

While in Paris, Kardashian showed off her trimmer figure and took in Paris Fashion Week Shows with fashion fan West by her side.

And even though North didn't attend Paris Fashion Week, she's still set to get an amazing designer wardrobe, after Kardashian and West were showered with gifts from the world's top designers, including a leather dress from Alexander Wang, a cute pink Lanvin dress, snakeskin sneakers from Celine and a Bambi shirt from West's close friend, Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci.

The Instagram pic is only the second public photo of North West, after proud father Kanye showed off her photo during a guest appearance on Kris Jenner's now-cancelled talk show in August.
