Duckworth and Maile arrived and officially cast their vote (they vote "no," for the record) before soaking up some love from Duckworth's peers.
The vote to allow children under one on the floor, including for breastfeeding, was unanimously passed on Wednesday after Duckworth introduced the resolution earlier this week. Duckworth is the first sitting U.S. senator to give birth while in office.
Earlier Thursday, Duckworth pondered whether Maile's outfits would meet senate floor rules but here's guessing no one was going to crack down too hard on a two-week old baby.

In case you needed a reminder, Duckworth is a certifiable badass. While serving in Iraq in 2004, she was co-piloting a Black Hawk helicopter when it was struck by insurgent fire, mangling both her legs (resulting in double amputation) and severely injuring her right arm. She would later be awarded a Purple Heart.
In November 2012, Duckworth was elected to Congress representing Illinois' 8th district, the first woman with a disability to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, the first Thailand-born person elected to Congress, and the first Asian-American from Illinois elected to Congress. She won re-election in 2014 before running for -- and winning -- her current senate seat in 2016.
And, so, Duckworth continues to set firsts and inspire, overcoming odds and outdated norms.
