And baby makes three

There is something about this photo that is just so beautiful. I mean, of course there's a little newborn baby, and that's beautiful. But something more.

Here are a few more photos of Nicole, Joel and little Harlow Winter and also a piece of the interview from the upcoming People Magazine that features this new family on the cover.

Who was the first to cry?
Nicole: I cried right away.
Joel: Right when she came out, you know that cry that’s like an internal cry where you shake a little bit? [To Harlow] You made me cry!

How did you pick the name?
Nicole: We couldn’t agree. I wanted a hippie name and he wanted a more Biblical name.
Joel: I really like Jean Harlow the actress, and she likes Shalom Harlow the model. Harlow’s cool because it feels like a classic name.
Nicole: And no one has it.
Joel: Winter was so serene and quiet and that’s how she is.
Nicole: I always liked the name Kate, but I knew I’d never name my kid that because it was just too plain.
Do you have help at home?
Joel: We don’t have a nanny. We have our moms. They’ve helped us a lot.
Nicole: And we have to give credit to Benji [Joel’s twins brother]. He lives six houses down. He babysits, like really babysits.
Joel: There was a day when I’d been at work all day and Nicole hadn’t left the house for 48 hours, and I was like, “Let’s go to a restaurant down the street,” and Benj was with the baby. Then someone said they read somewhere we were out all the time. It’s crazy. You leave the house for one hour and eveyone’s like, “She’s out! She’s leaving the baby!”

Has Harlow met Paris Hilton?
Nicole: Yeah. They went to the Ivy. Just kidding. I have to say, all of my friends, their demeanor completely changes when they’re around the baby. When they come in the house they’re really mellow and careful and sweet with her. And when you’re with a baby, you don’t think, like, “Oh, I’m this person.” She spits up on you and throws up on you and goes to the bathroom and passes gas.

On nursing:
Nicole: There’s just so much I can’t eat because she’s sensitive. I eat really bland [food] — chicken noodle soup, vegetables, fish. I had to cut out milk, no tomatoes, no lettuce. You think you have to cut everything out when you’re pregnant, but you really have to cut everything out when you’re breastfeeding
