I’m declaring yesterday to be Retroactive Celebrity Hive-Mind Day. Several celebrities officially announced their pregnancies (which we already knew about, and I’ll do that post in a minute) and several celebrity moms did nice photo-ops with their babies. This is the baby post. The Baby Post To End All Baby Posts! This is the baby post which will leave your ovaries swirling and crying. Or something. If you’re anything like me, baby photos are as close as you want to come to actual babies.
Let’s start things off with fan-favorite Harper Seven Beckham, who was with her mom Victoria in Manhattan for New York Fashion Week. Posh’s label was widely acclaimed, but Harper is all “talk to the hand”.
Next up: Sienna Miller and baby Marlowe in NYC as well. Marlowe is a brunette! And she looks more like Tom Sturridge than Sienna I think.
And finally Charlize Theron and baby Jackson. He’s only like 13 or 14 months old I think. He’s big for his age, right? Another long, leggy baby. I LOVE his baby-flannel.

That first pic of VB makes me kinda sad. The baby looks like its all too much. The poor thing looks frightened.
I agree. This is what is so bothersome about the Beckhams. They are just as famewhorish as any reality star and they appear to have no qualms about dragging their kids into it.
Yup. Fashion week is no place for a child, let alone a toddler. I know it’s become a bit of a cliche that Posh carts that kid around as though she were an accessory, but it’s hard to see it any other way. And it’s notable that she never did that for any of her three sons. If Posh can’t bear to be parted from her precious daughter for 2 seconds, then she could easily have taken time off ‘work’ for a year or two. Touting the kid around fashion shows may make for good photos ops, but I doubt it’s what little Harper 7 would like to be doing.
@ Christina: Yeah, they don’t really care all that much about keeping the kids out of the public eye, it’s true.
However, when her sons were this little, she didn’t have the fashion career. With the first two, she pretty much just stayed home for a bit and has admitted that it drove her crazy after a few months. You may think she should choose between career and spending time with her girl but I say whatever works for her/them. Think about the Beckhams what you will, they seem to be very loving parents. Would I do it the same way? No idea.
I’m certainly not saying VB should give up her, ahem, ‘career’ to be a full-time mother – although she’s certainly wealthy enough to do so, so whatever work she does is purely done out of choice. And it’s not like she’s working 9-5 and then having to do a long commute, so she doesn’t really have to choose between working and spending time with her kids, the way most parents do.
My point is that there’s really no need for her to take her child to an adult event like a fashion show. It’s certainly not in the child’s interest, that’s for sure. So if the child is looking frightened or upset, her mother is to be blamed for taking her somewhere completely unsuitable for a young child.
I understand that Fashion Week is maybe not the greatest place for a child but one, nobody knows if she’s really upset. These 2-3 pics of a toddler making a face don’t tell us anything. She could be hungry or cranky and it’s not necessarily because of where she is. Two, VB doesn’t have to work, no. But she has every right to and shouldn’t have to choose just because she has money. A commute or a 9-5 job aren’t the only reasons to be stressed. Sure, she could get a nanny no problem but as if we wouldn’t judge her for it. “She doesn’t have to work! Why have another baby if you get a nanny because you’d rather work?” She can’t win. Maybe her husband should give up his career? It’s ending anyway.
I’m just saying, judging her purely based on the fact that she leads a life we can’t relate to is – in my opinion – uncalled for. Her kids don’t know anything else, they might be totally fine with everything.
fghdfjksgf I am on this weird baby kick. It’s awful. I just want to hold a baby. Or a puppy. Or a kitten. Hopefully this will pass soon- definitely can’t have one for years.
Well, I *really* want to go to the movies to see Side Effects. Wanna come baby sit my 9 month old? She’s super duper cute, so you will get some baby want out and I will get some TIME ALONE. Win win 😉
Ahahaha! I can imagine alone time is pretty valuable after having them. I just need my friends to start having them so I can get it out of my system and then hand them back over to their moms 🙂
I will, I will!!! Love babies, and I’m a great skutcher. Plus I sing and play stupid games. They give me the side eye but I think they actually like it. 🙂
Come take care of mine so I can study! I had a test on the nervous system yesterday and my son was NOT happy about having to entertain himself.
He pissed all over my $250 textbook.
I promise he won’t piss on you though.
As long as you play with him!
Charlize should keep her hair short. Meanwhile, Sienna needs a comb.
And yes, the babies are all precious.
Sienna looks rough.
Funny, my first thought when I saw Sienna wasn’t rough, I think she still looks kind of cute. Just very Hipster Bohemian with the attitude of, “Whatevs, Darling, I’ll just throw on my fur, grab your Missoni blanket, and we are good to go.”
yea, siena looks laid back bohemian which is her style….she’s effortless, IMO.
she’s like kate moss; she may not look hot all the time, but style wise, she knows how to dress, even when it’s kind of messy-somehow, it/she still looks good!
I think english fashion is just more interesting…..and not as one note, as far as actors and celebs. [okay, katie price exception]
Tom and Sienna’s baby is a doll. She does look more like her dad.
Cheeks!! All of them, so adorable!
H7 looks like her Dad so much, the facial expression is uncanny.
Marlowe looks like her Dad too so cute!
Jackson looks like…his Dad (by default). 😀
But the 2 baby celebs who make me melt are Flynn Bloom and Marcel Canet.
Well, technically, he could look like his birth mother. Who knows.
Hence the “by default” choice followed by the smiley darling…
Yes! Where is baby Flynn? H7 and Flynn def need a playdate ASAP.
Blah blah blah, babies are cute, blah blah blah.
That being said, who will tell me who makes the purse Charlize is carrying, please? I’m sure it’s very famous and very expensive, but I have no clue. Anyone know?
Looks to me like its either Celine or Mulberry.
Thank you! Off to Google….
It’s a Proenza Schouler “PS 13″…it’s gorgeous and yes, extremely expensive!

Well dannnnng. That is expensive. Thanks for the link – maybe it will make it’s way to my husband’s inbox. I’m worth it!!! Well, maybe.
Don’t you watch Bones? Babies are cute. It’s a biological imperative.
Ohmygosh. Marlowe is the cutest!! LOVE that dark hair!
Jackson looks like he has some personality. I’m digging those chubby cheeks on him, too!
CT just NEVER looks less than perfect, does she? She’s so friggin fantastic.
Little Jackson Theron is such a little man. Ugh! Cuteness!!!
Shouldn’t pick favorites I know but loving me some Harper Seven and Jackson Theron. Love their kiddie personalities. Adorable.
omg Marlowe is beyond adorable! And I love Jackson’s facial expressions.
I need Victoria’s coat. I think I’ve seen her wear it before – it’s incredible!
GAH. It’s not fair that CT is THAT hot with short hair. The babies are all super cute. <3
Gaaaah, I love H7! I’m not a baby person (and am on the verge of closing up shop, reproduction-wise) but seriously, she is too adorable! She has her dad’s frowny-expression, I love it. And Charlize’s boy is so cute, I think he’ll be one lovely tall man, if his height now is anything to go by.
Poor Harper..she looks so frustrated in these shots..and justifiably so! The cameras need to back off a bit, I mean even just 10 more feet away would be better.
Unrelated, Sienna looks like a messy Blake Lively here.
Alternatively, her mother could do what other working mums do and leave her child with a nanny (or her father) while she’s at work. Posh knows perfectly well that the place is going to be heaving with paps – it is Fashion Week after all – and goes ahead and inflicts it on her daughter nonetheless.
And then everyone would be screaming that she doesn’t spend any time with her daughter. Personally, I think the paparazzi need to back up a few feet and give them more space. With the exception of walking in and out of the venue, she isn’t being mobbed by them all the time. I don’t think it’s fair that she would have to leave her child behind just because of scum paparazzi in between work and the car. She obviously wants to introduce what “mommy does” to H7 while she is young, and I think that is far more commendable than just passing her baby off to a nanny.
Sorry, but people taking photos of well-known figures at a major event like New York Fashion Week are not ‘scum paparazzi’. Everyone who attends these events knows and expects that photographers will be there, and in fact they (VB most of all) would be pretty annoyed if they weren’t there – how else to get free publicity for their fashion lines?
Harper is an infant. She has no concept of ‘what mummy does’ (not sure I do either, come to think of it!) Her mother chooses to drag her along to events where she knows very well she’s going to be the focus of attention. I’m sure plenty of the other designers and fashionistas have kids too, but they don’t feel the need to cart them around for the cameras. And there’s no evidence from these pics that the photographers are not at a respectable distance away. But at event full of noise, crowds and bright lights simply isn’t a suitable place for a baby, and if her mother chooses to take her there, it is she who bears the responsibility.
For real they don’t have to get that close! We all know they have super crazy lenses that can shoot from very far away yet they have to get THAT close when she leaves a building? Not necessary. If they weren’t that close H7 wouldn’t be so frightened.
yay to a H7 post!!!
she’s still my fave. that’s right gurl, give ’em that baby girl powah ‘talk to the hand’…love it! plus, her boots totally rock. i’ll take those in a 10 please. 😀
Charlize’s little man is super cute! i’m am totally lovin’ her mommy-style and ‘Sweet November’ cut. she’s got such a versatile head shape…going back and forth from shaved to long locks ain’t a thang for her. dopeness. 😉
Dammit, I can’t stop seeing Justin Beiber when I see Charlize now! Damn whoever first made that connection and posted about it! 🙁
She still looks fierce though. lol
Also, the only time I want to reproduce is when there’s a sexy man holding a child. Oh my unf.
SHUT UP!!!!! GAH!!!!!!!
I can never unsee that ever again!
I am chuffed to bits to know I am not the only who on occasion put mismatch [albeit clean] socks on my small folk when I can’t locate pairs. I don’t care if they don’t match up, cleanliness is the most important message I want to impart.
Diana. I think that the socks match it is just the heel of the sock that is riding up. But I get what your saying, I am over 30 and that is still my mindset with socks.
Oh.. now that I had a good look you are correct.
Over 30 you say? Now you have made me feel comfortable admitting that I do it to the kids because I’ve done it as long as I’ve been dressing myself. I find two socks if they are about the same size however not the same color AT ALL but the are clean I put them on and I rock them hard.
I wish Charlize was my mommy. Giggedy.
I think all babies are cute, but I really hate the implication that celeb babies are the cutest. With very few exceptions, they are no more cute or beautiful than all the babies out there. And what really bums me out is the “baby as accessory,” where the kids are decked out in thousands of dollars worth of clothes because mommy and daddy are a tad insecure.
Sorry, my rant for the day!
I agree completely. Nobody would be fawning over these kids if their parents were teachers or shop assistants.
Raises hand. I fawn over every chubby baby like I do H7. Also love handsome babies with formed personalities like Jackson Theron. I have been known to stop parents on the street to fawn over their kiddies. In a non creepy way of course 😀
I’m all over any baby whose mother is OK with it! Grocery store, shopping mall, bathroom, hell, I don’t care. Babies are cute. Play peek-a-boo with one. You’ll have them hysterical. And not in a bad way. 🙂
I have a gf who doesn’t like babies (I think they scare her). She had a friend over with the most adorable 7 month old. I was skutching, flinging, peek-a-boo-ing my heart out. And the baby was having fun, and so was his mother because she got to sit down. And my friend was goggle eyed. I’d always told her I love babies but she’d never seen me with one.
My babies get fawned over all the time. People are always trying to give them stuff and grocery shopping takes extra long with them. I think all babies get fawned over and people make a big deal about them being “the cutest ever!” But I’m not famous so no articles are written about mine.
it cracks me up that H7 has a perpetual scowl – just like her mommy … cute babies…
It’s so nice to see babies that are properly dressed for the weather! They are all adorable!!
Oh, I wish Kaiser had included Flynn Kerr-Bloom (I doubt he’s hyphenated but I like how it sounds).
Harper’s starting to look a bit more like David. I think it’s the squint?
Cute babies! I especially like Jackson’s flannel and Adidas, adorable. Charlize is a goddess. Sienna needs a shower. She looks like a homeless fur hag. Posh looks…like Posh.
Sienna looks dirty and gross. And seeing that it looks really cold in the photo, maybe she could actually put a coat and mitts on that baby instead of a sweater and some lame blanket. It really irks me to see parents walking around in fur coats and their kids in next to nothing. Like, do you not think your child feels the cold???
It looks as if the baby has a long sleeved shirt as well as a jacket on plus a blanket. Perhaps they just got out of the car? You’re not supposed to put your babies in big puffy jackets in a car seat.
Adorable!!! I need to find that plaid for my lovely nephew!!!!!!!
Sienna looks great! Love the boho thing on her.
HARPER IS THE CUTEST THING EVER. PERIOD.
I just want her to stay this way forever!!
Marlowe has a happy, intelligent, curious look on her face. Sienna looks great to me too. But, I like a messy hair look. And they both seem appropriately dressed.
Jackson Theron looks like he could be Louis Bullock’s cousin.
H7 and MS are both cute too.
Why is Victoria shielding her face from the flashes of the cameras, when she should instead be doing this to H7!!. That’s why H7 has the frown on her face – it’s because of all the flashes going on around them!
I would guess so that she can see where she is going and not trip? That would be even worse. Remember when Britney tripped holding one of her kids?
Yeah, I get that, but common sense would be that she not carry her daughter out like a handbag. Why not let the nanny take her out? It’s all so the paps can get a picture!
I don’t know anyone who hold their handbag that way. I feel like celebs mom can’t win. If she let the nanny hold the baby then it would be “she’s a hands-off Mom” but is she does hold the baby then it’s for photo op purposes. Why can’t she just be a woman holding her child?? Which is essentially what she is.
Knew I shouldn’t have clicked this! They are all so damn cute! *melts*
The babies are all super cute but Sienna girl can we talk?
This post is missing SJP’s adorable twins.
The cheeks on Jackson are sooooo pinchable! Adorbz!
I love Harper 7’s tights and boots.
I never, ever thought I would say this, but if I didn’t know that that was Charlize, I would have thought that was a Daddy and his kid (from behind). Yikes.
Harper Seven looks soo much like her dad! She’s so cute! 🙂 All those babies are adorable! Awwwww!!!!
All the moms and babies are looking really good!
Harper is gorgeous!
