Valentina Pinault Plays Peekaboo!

Bauer Griffin

Valentina Paloma Pinault grabs ahold during a game of peekaboo with a bodyguard and Salma Hayek on Monday. Salma, 42, was standing outside the car and popped up and down, entertaining her 16-month-old daughter, who looked to see where mom went!

While appearing on Letterman recently, Salma shared a bit about her little sleepwalker — Valentina is a “force of nature,” mom explains. “I don’t know what she’s going to say next. I don’t try to force her into words…although I do wish she could say ‘thank you’ instead of ‘WATER!’ [Valentina]’s like a dictator in the house. She’s bossy.”

Valentina is Salma’s daughter with former fiancé François-Henri Pinault.

Mayim Bialik Returning to Acting For Family

Adrian Varnedoe/Pacific Coast News

In the 1990′s former child star Mayim Bialik walked away from her celebrity and instead into the classrooms of UCLA. Since receiving her Ph.D in neuroscience last year, the 33-year-old mother of two has been writing for several organizations that raise funds for mental retardation research – but she’s contemplating a return to acting, after all. Mayim tells Entertainment Tonight,

“I am actually auditioning and sticking a toe back into the industry. I am very happy I got my degree and I worked very hard on my theses, but in terms of having kids and the family life we have, academia right now is not where I can go.”

Mayim — whose show Blossom was broadcast from 1991-1995 — and husband Michael Stone are parents to sons Miles, 3, and Frederick Heschel, 5-months.

Keri Russell and River Bundle Up

INF

River Russell Deary stays well-wrapped — in a hat, sweater, wool coat and Ugg boots — while being toted by Keri Russell through their snowy Brooklyn, NY neighborhood on Tuesday.

River, 19 months, is the first child for Keri and carpenter husband Shane Deary. The little one loves to read — but not entire books, says mom.

“We do read [him] books, and he has his favorites, but right now it’s very much like ‘Read this one, read this one. We read the first two pages, then he’s like, ‘And now this one.’ I’m like, ‘But we haven’t gotten to the best part! Let me finish.’ It’s a lot of that.”

Norah O'Donnell Having 'So Much Fun' With Three Kids Under Two

MSNBC

During a recent appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, journalist Norah O’Donnell raved about life with her 19-month-old twins Grace and Henry and their new baby sister Riley Norah, 6-months. Admitting that she’s getting “very little sleep,” Norah nonetheless says that “they’re good babies” and that being a mom is “so much fun.”

Perhaps out of necessity, Norah and her husband Geoff Tracy appear to be keeping a good sense of humor about their growing brood! Norah shared,

“My husband was giving a speech to some students at Georgetown, and he said to these students “I have three kids under 2, and yes, all with the same woman.”

When asked whether she has help, Norah said “absolutely” — adding “grandparents are great!”
