Halle was spotted buying baby clothes
The 'Perfect Stranger' actress reportedly spent an hour browsing at trendy Los Angeles baby boutique Bel-Bambini before purchasing a selection of items for a baby girl.
Halle, 40, who is dating 31-year-old model Gabriel Aubry, left the exclusive shop with a pink, organic romper-suit, a kimono tee made from soybean fibres, a cute butterfly backpack and a Swarovski crystal-encrusted hotlips pacifier.
The Oscar-winning star, who has made no secret of her desire to have a baby, recently set herself a deadline to get pregnant by the end of the year.
She revealed: "Having children is my next big project. I'm planning on becoming pregnant by the end of the year - it's my age, it's only natural."
Halle insists she and Gabriel are prepared to adopt if they are unable to conceive naturally.
She added: "If it can't happen naturally, Gabriel and I will adopt."
Halle had previously vowed to get pregnant before she turned 40 last August.
She told US chat show host Oprah Winfrey: "If there's no serious man in my life when I get to that age, whoever I'm dating at the time, I'll say, 'Hey, would you like to have a baby?' "
