Nicole Richie And Joel Madden On Parenthood

No matter how many mushy quotes on parenthood we hear from celebs, I still can't get enough...I LOVE hearing stars talk about their babies!  Nicole Richie and Joel Madden recently talked about how Harlow's doing and what it's like watching her grow up.

Nicole on more kids:

"If it happens, it happens."

Nicole on Harlow growing up:

"She is pulling herself up standing ... we don't have to burp her anymore."

Joel on Harlow's conversation skills:

She says 'mama' and 'dada.' She says 'dada' when she wants to play. Wants to laugh. And 'mama' is everything else. When we walk into a place, she waves to everyone."

Nicole on the paparazzi:

"My priority is to make her unaware. She's eight months now. I can't put her in the infant seat and cover her. She'd definitely know something's going on ... she wants to experience life and, as a mother, that's important."

And finally Joel says that being a parent,

"opens your eyes. Every child I look at reminds me of my child. And every mother I see reminds me of Nicole."

In case you're wondering, they are still continuing their work with the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation.  If you want to support them, they have a texting program going on:

Their new initiative: Encouraging people to text "child" to 9-0999 ($5 will be donated to a children’s charity they sponsor).

These two seem like they are in a really great place with their lives right now!
