Unable to reach their favorite toy, ask for a diaper change, or just change positions for a new view of their world, most babies are quick to learn the simple, fast way to communicate with their parents: crying. For Kung Fu Panda star Jack Black it is no different with his youngest son, 5-month old Thomas David. Calling Thomas "fantastic" and "very cute," the 39-year-old actor admits that the baby keeps him on his toes!
"He has learned that if he cries, I come running. Unfortunately, he learned that trick early on, and is using it to great effect!"
In addition to Thomas, Jack also has son Samuel Jason, 2, with wife Tanya Haden Black.

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher has made no secret of the fact that he lived a life filled with drugs when he was younger, but now that he is father to Anais, 8 ½, and Donovan Rory MacDonald, 13 months, they are a thing of the past. "It’s not cool to be into drugs when you’ve
got children, no matter which way you look at it," the 41-year-old rocker notes."You have a
responsibility to see them grow up, and then you have a responsibility
for them to see you as a role model." No matter what happens in life, Noel just wants his kids to know that they were his top priority.
"I don’t want my kids to grow up and think I
was never there, physically or mentally. I want them to see me as … as
just plain old dad."
Anais’ mother is Meg Matthews and Donovan’s is Noel’s girlfriend Sara MacDonald.

Have you ever wondered what celebrity chefs make for their children? For Giada De Laurentiis, she relies on foods from her childhood to help inspire her when cooking for 7 ½-month-old daughter Jade Marie. After an interview with Express Night Out, Giada shared that, "As soon as we get home, I’m going to make pastina [pasta shaped like baby stars] with butter and Parmesan. It’s what I ate as a baby." The Today contributor is currently traveling to help promote her cookbook Giada’s Kitchen: New Italian Favorites and Jade and husband Todd Thompson are right there alongside her.
"I have lots of help, especially from my husband … I’m working out less, and my social
life has taken a backseat. That’s OK. Between work and Jade, there’s no
place I’d rather be."

For years, Dallas Cowboy DeMarcus Ware and his wife Taniqua dreamed of having a baby. When they were unable, they turned to adoption — and haven’t looked back since. Their daughter Marley, 5 ½-months, has completely changed the 26-year-old linebacker’s perspective on life. Says DeMarcus,
You are so happy because you have a little bundle of joy in your life. I even find myself going to Wal-Mart looking for little toys. When I’m going grocery shopping looking for food, I’m getting baby food instead of food for myself.
Marley’s adoption unfolded over a series of weeks under bittersweet circumstances, for the Wares were still reeling from Taniqua’s second miscarriage — which followed the stillbirth of the couple’s son Omar in 2006. “Everything happened so fast,” Taniqua says, “the timing of it all definitely shows she was meant to be ours.” DeMarcus, who was raised in a single parent household, […]

With her children starring in box office hits and growing up with two famous parents, Jada Pinkett Smith is determined to not let the Hollywood scene lead her kids down the wrong path. Admitting she probably would not have survived as a young celebrity herself, Jada claims that “it would blow your mind” to know “the things I have to talk to my children about at such a young age.”
As the hip-hop industry becomes more influential and movie roles continue to stereotype women, Jada wants to ensure families aren’t swayed by these messages — especially young boys. She says, “I think as mothers, with the music and the media out there, we really have to sit our boys down and tell them, ‘That is not okay.’” When it comes to 7-year-old Willow Camille Reign, the 36-year-old mom admits to having “to constantly reassure my daughter that she is beautiful.” As […]
