Baby girl is on the move! Mother-of-three Angie Harmon is preparing to move past the stationary stage with her daughter Emery Hope, 11 months this week, as she reveals that her youngest is quickly approaching her latest milestone: walking.
“She is crawling now and she literally pulls herself up on everything,” the actress tells Us Weekly.
Emery’s tentative steps are quite the sight to see! Calling the learning process “hilarious,” Angie admits Emery bears resemblance to a well-known cartoon figure.
“She just loves to stand there, but it’s a bit like watching the Michelin tire man because she’s just sort of wobbling and there is fat all over the place.”
Angie — who is slated to star in TNT’s Rizzoli — and her husband Jason Sehorn are also parents to daughters Finley Faith, 6, and Avery Grace, 4.

Play dates aren’t just beneficial for kids — they’re also an opportunity for stay-at-home moms to interact and exchange ideas and tips about child-rearing, marriage and everything in between. For working moms, these crucial mom-to-mom heart-to-hearts are often hard to come by. With that void in mind, Mamapedia launched earlier this year.
Boasting more than 2 million users – including Minnie Driver, mom to 14-month-old Henry Story — the site has clearly struck a chord. Celebrity Baby Blog recently interviewed founder Artie Wu who said inclusiveness has been the biggest key to Mamapedia’s success.
“If you set up a community where moms don’t feel like they’re going to be judged, they ask their questions,” he explains. “That’s the biggest priority for us.”

Nothing reshuffles priorities quite like motherhood, and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz wouldn’t have it any other way. Proud to be a “really young mom” to Bronx Mowgli, turning 1 this week — her first child with husband Pete Wentz – the 25-year-old actress and singer tells the December issue of Women’s Health that career now comes second to family.
“Pete and Bronx come first,” she explains. “It has humbled me.”
“I believe in letting life happen. There’s good, there’s bad, and then there’s great. If you learn from those things, you grow. I’ve really done a lot for 25, and there’s still a lot to come.”
There were no jitters about pregnancy, a state of being Ashlee says she never felt compelled to “second-guess.” Quite the opposite, being an expectant mother was “the most calm I’d ever been in my life,” she reveals.
That sense of serenity extended to her approach to shedding the 50 pounds she gained while pregnant, something which — by her own account — happened with relative ease, with the help of a personal trainer. “I wasn’t in a rush to get back to this body for anyone else,” she insists. “It was more like, ‘I wanna look good [for me]. I wanna feel good.’”
Her secret weapon? Baby boy himself! “[I do] Bronx Pilates,” she explains. “And these [points to her biceps] are from holding him. He’s in my arms all the time.”
While exercise might have come naturally to Ashlee, diet was another matter entirely, and a home-delivery meal service often left her feeling unsatisfied. “It was hard, because I’m an eater,” she admits. “If I want a grilled cheese sandwich, I’ll eat a grilled cheese sandwich.”
Proclaiming that she “likes curves” — noting that she “had E’s!” during the five months she breastfed her son — and “what defines sexy is not someone’s weight,” Ashlee is quick to point out that her husband accepts her for who she is, no matter the size.
“Pete isn’t worried about stretch marks. He always makes me feel sexy.”
