The Year of the Baby!
HEIDI, SEAL & JOHAN
Born: Nov. 22 Weight: 8 lbs., 11 oz. "It's never boring or quiet in our home, but we are truly blessed to have three healthy children," supermodel Klum, 33, says about the new member of her brood with 43-year-old husband Seal – son Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel (who joins brother Henry, 1, and sister Leni, 2). "This is what Seal and I have always wanted: a home filled with children's laughter."
MADONNA & DAVID
Custody Granted On: Oct. 12 "I was drawn to his face, something about him," the singer told Today about first meeting 15-month-old David Banda in Malawi. Once Madonna, 48, and husband Guy Ritchie took him home (the adoption won't be finalized until next year), she found out what that something was: "He's very flirtatious, and he's hysterically funny."
MARISKA & AUGUST
Born: June 28 Weight: 10 lbs., 9 oz. Not only did Hargitay, 42, lose her baby weight in no time flat, but the first-time mom also quickly mastered changing son August Miklos Friedrich's diapers. "(Husband) Peter (Hermann) is like, 'You change him and he doesn't even cry.' I was the ninja warrior of diapering!"
GWEN & KINGSTON
Born: May 26 Weight: 7 lbs., 8 oz. After the birth of her first child with husband Gavin Rossdale, the busy singer-designer, 37, put her own spin on the whole balance thing. "I don't go off to work without him," she told the Los Angeles Times about son Kingston James McGregor. "He makes everything so much fun."
JOELY & TRUE
Born: Feb. 2 Weight: 7 lbs., 12 oz. Actress Fisher, 39, wasn't afraid of an audience – even when giving birth to daughter True Harlow (with cinematographer husband Chris Duddy). Surrounded by eight family members and friends, "I didn't feel at all self-conscious," says Fisher, who endured six hours of labor without an epidural. "I felt like a superhero."
BROOKE & GRIER
Born: April 18 Weight: 7 lbs., 1 oz. With no signs of postpartum depression the second time around, 41-year-old Shields – who documented her struggle in her 2005 memoir Down Came the Rain – says family life with husband Chris Henchy (their daughter Grier Hammond joins Rowan Francis, 3) "is as close to Norman Rockwell as possible."
ANGELA, COURTNEY, SLATER & BRONWYN
Born: Jan. 27 Weight: Slater Josiah, 5 lbs., 2 oz.; Bronwyn Golden, 6 lbs., 2 oz. It's constant motion for parents Angela Bassett, 48, and Courtney B. Vance, 46, whose twins – son Slater (left) and daughter Bronwyn – were born via a surrogate. "If I can put some clothes on by 5 p.m., it's quite an accomplishment," says Bassett, who still tracks bottles and changes in a spreadsheet.
GWYNETH & MOSES
Born: April 8 Weight: 8 lbs., 4 oz. From the Garden of Eden to the Old Testament: Apple's little brother got his name from a 2003 Coldplay song ("Like Moses had power over the sea/ So you've got power over me") that daddy Chris Martin dedicated to Paltrow, 34.
ADAM & SADIE
Born: May 6 Sandler, 40, and his wife Jackie reached a milestone with the birth of daughter Sadie Madison. True to form, the funnyman couldn't help but greet her arrival with his characteristic humor. "Sandler had a kid," he wrote on his Web site. "Kid is healthy. Wife is healthy. He's still a moron, and that's all that counts."
KATIE, TOM & SURI
Born: April 18 Weight: 7 lbs., 7 oz. "She looks like Tom," Holmes, 28, told Vanity Fair, where the littlest Cruise made her big debut in October. And Suri has inherited her 44-year-old dad's exuberance too: At her parents' Italian wedding in November, "It was quiet and then Suri cooed loudly," says one guest. "It was so sweet." As is Suri. "She's the miracle of our life," Holmes said.
