'12
I told you so! As soon as I saw the Twit-pic of Jessica Simpson’s rack over the weekend, I knew this was coming. Jessica tweeted a photo of her daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson, yesterday – it’s the baby’s first Twit-pic. Maxwell is about eight weeks old. So… that’s pretty good, considering. If you use Hilary Duff as a baseline of “mothers incessantly Twit-pic’ing their babies,” Jessica is doing okay. And I’m assuming this is the first of many, many Twit-pics of the baby.
As for Maxwell… she looks like a baby. A cute, chubby baby with brown hair and brown eyes… right? I’m guessing that Jessica will try to convince us that Maxi is a dirty blonde, but I’m pretty sure Jessica gave birth to a natural brunette. She probably doesn’t mind. Too much. I do think Maxi is super-cute, and she got her mother’s “WTF is going on?” expression – pure genetics.
We haven’t seen Maxi since Jessica debuted her on the cover of People in mid-May. There have been no candid photo-ops, no secondary photo releases to any other tabloids. I do wonder how Jessica is going to play this whole motherhood angle now. Will she go the Jessica Alba route and make “motherhood” central to her image now? Or will she be the same old Farty McDonalds, only now with a baby? I don’t know.

Great message to send PeeWee Farty, People Magazine. Way to make sure the kid knows she was never good enough without a healthy dose of ‘shop.

The strawberry mark will fade, so i guess they didnt feel it was necessary. She wont even have it in a few months

It could be a rash as well. My baby had a similar thing and it went away quickly. Babies get acne and milia and all sorts of rashes that appear because of the mother’s hormones in it’s system.

Yeah that’s not her birth mark. I have the exact same mark in the exact same spot in all of my baby pictures, and my birth mark is on my back. I don’t know exactly what that is but it goes away.

I dont think its a birthmark. When my sister had my niece and nephew, both babies had that red spot on their foreheads. It goes away. Its some type of acne/rash babies get from the environment change and such.

Sometimes babies get random splotches that come and go, or it could be a stork bite. Who knows? Also, I think this kid is a ginger.

ha ha, the baby seems to be giving a “WTF is a camera doing in my face” look, well baby Maxwell-get used to it cause your momma loves over-sharing..

She’s so cute! But really…People paid 800k for ONE PHOTO of baby Maxi? I expected an accompanying family-themed photo spread…just me?
But yeah, Maxi is making my favorite baby face, which boils down to “are you seriously taking pictures of me right now?”

Maxwell looks just like her daddy!

Finally someone thinking the same thing like I do. For me, the baby looks like her daddy more than her mom. And still a cutie baby, too.

Almost all babies look like their daddies when they are born. Its a evolutionary thing; back in caveman times if baby looks like daddy, then the daddy is much more likely to provide for baby

Yes, this. Most babies do look like their fathers and continue to as small children, until they’re about 4 years old.
My own children looked like Xerox copies of my husband and his sister until they were about that age, then my son started to look more like me. My daughter has always looked like my husband and his twin. You put her between my sister-in-law and me, and no one would guess the kid was mine.

If the baby’s hair is like my 2 kids it will change to blonde as she gets older. Both my boys are blond now but came out much darker. Cute regardless though.

See my youngest nephew was born with a ton of jet black hair (like his mom) which he kept til he was almost one. Then it all fell out and grew in a light honey blond (like his dad). He’s 4 now and he’s holding onto blond!

She is precious – those lips! She will become even prettier over the coming months, surely both mom and baby.

Adorable baby. She looks ginger to me.

She’s got her mama’s brown eyes. But that look reminds me of a “deer in the headlights” look. Poor baby!
As far as her hair, it’s probably going to run the gamut. I was born with thick dark hair; it was dark blonde when I was a toddler/child; and it got steadily darker as I got older. (Mine’s now dark brown, with some natural auburn and light brown highlights.)
All 3 of my kids’ hair changed, too.

Me too….Born a ginger, then changed to white-blonde kid, now dirty dishwater.
My sister was born with full-on thick, BLACK hair, it fell out and she’s been natural blonde ever since.
I should google, but I’m sure the mothers here can tell me…there’s a name for that temporary baby hair, right? I remember in college learning that the hair is a kind of natural lubricant….it’s meant facilitate birth, then fall out– and foretells nothing about what color adult hair will be.

I was born with thick black hair and now its thick and dark brown. Never went blonde and my dad is blonde. Hair is weird.

I’m sure she will pimp her baby to stay relevant just like alba. So annoying

OMG, that baby has Angelina Joli lips. It’s going to be interesting to see her in a few months. I don’t think you can tell from very early pictures what a baby looks like until they lose the newborn puffiness.

I like what appears to be bottles of booze and a wine glass in the background. Keepin’ it classy!

It’s bittersweet and a bit alpha omega to coincidentally learn of both Nora Ephron’s passing and to see the first photo of a stork bitten Maxwell Drew.

Er, first Twit-pic. Also it’s funny how babies can look like wizened old people sometimes.

It’s called a stork bite. Sometimes they fade & other times they don’t. My baby has some on the back Of his neck that his pediatrician said wouldn’t fade.
That baby has some huge lips! Jessica and Eric’s aren’t that big. I am guessing she will probably grow into them.
A lot of babies have hair that falls out and comes in lighter. It’s really kind of weird, I wonder why that happens.

Isa – Right you are about the stork bite. When they occur on the face they are usually gone by 18 months. They tend to be permanent when they are on the back of the neck.

Looks a lot like her mum to me. And I’m thinking that baby has a touch of ginger in that hair shade (can even see it on the People cover pic).
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Hmmm, I don’t see the ginger. It looks like pretty plain brown to me. Who knows what her hair will look like in a year or two or five or ten, though.
I don’t find this baby to be particularly cute.

I should lower my expectations for this mag, but really? An almost 35 year murder case solved is a sidebar story and some one hit wonder hick gets the cover. Jeez.
