Little Harlow is gorgeous, she’s a blend of daddy, Joel and mommy, Nicole. Now who would have thought that Nicole would be such a devoted mother?

Nicole told People magazine that “She [Harlow] gives life a whole new meaning and a whole new purpose,” adding that she’s ready to “move on” from her days as a wild child”

Yes, kids do change us, don’t they? Responsibilities, bills and more bills and more bills. All right that’s just the bad side of things, they are sooo worth it too. Or I forgot to mention the diapers!
