Miranda Kerr and my favorite celebrity baby, Flynn Kerr-Bloom, were out and about in NYC over the weekend. I seriously love this baby. He’s adorable, and he’s always so smiley and happy. He must be the most easy-going kid in the world. Judging from the photos, I think when Miranda put him in his stroller, she tried to cover him up with her leopard-print blanket, but Flynn lifted it up so he could smile and wave at the paparazzi. Because this kid’s already a star.

Previously, I’ve heard some people say that Flynn looks like his dad, but before these photos, I didn’t really see Orlando Bloom in him at all. Now I do – he really does look like Orly when he smiles. So cute.

Also – did you know that Flynn is an American citizen? He was born here. I thought it was because Miranda and Orly had just decided to split the difference between England and Australia, but Miranda claims in a new interview that they’re still deciding where they want to live:

Miranda Kerr admits it will be “hard” to decide where she raises her family. The Australian model has a 10-month-old son, Flynn, with British husband Orlando Bloom, and while they are happy to travel the world while the American-born tot is young, she knows they will have to eventually pick a country to settle down in.

She said: “When Orlando is working, I make sure I’m not working. So whenever he has to go to New Zealand, where he’s currently filming ‘The Hobbit’, Flynn and I go with him, too. Then, when I’m working, he makes sure he’s off — so there’s always at least one of us with Flynn.”

“It’s great that we have these few years when we can travel before Flynn has to go to school. I don’t know yet where I’d like him to go to school, though. It’s going to be hard to choose — he has three passports: British, Australian and American. ‘Officially’ he’s American, which both of us find amazing.”

However, Miranda, 28, knows where she wants to spend Flynn’s first Christmas — in her native Australia.

Miranda — who has homes in Australia, England and the U.S. — told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “I manage to get back to Australia at least a couple of times a year to see my family. I’m hoping the three of us will be able to spend Flynn’s first Christmas there. Orlando and I are just trying to work out our schedules right now.”

Ah, to be jet-set and to have a baby with three passports. Yikes. Just settle in America. We love dimples.

As you may remember, Flynn Kerr-Bloom is my current favorite celebrity baby. He just has such a great face, and Flynn is HUGE. He was born big and he continues to be a big, lovely, chubby baby. I find that I like Flynn so much, my affection for ricochets off of him and affects my feelings for Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom too. I never used to care about Orly and Miranda at all, but now I find myself liking them enormously. Babies do strange things to people. Anyway, here are some photos of Miranda and Flynn from this weekend in NYC. Flynn in a little ski hat! Adorable. He has such a great face. Miranda’s little legs look too skinny to me, but maybe it’s just an optical illusion because Flynn is so giant. Miranda recently spoke to Us Weekly about baby’s first Christmas and what Orly gave her as a gift one time:

Miranda Kerr hit the jackpot with two great guys: hubby Orlando Bloom and their 10-month-old son Flynn.

“[Flynn's] crawling now. He has eight teeth!” she told Us Weekly on Monday at her Halloween party at Catch in NYC.

So has teething turned Flynn cranky? “No, he’s a very happy boy!” Kerr, 28, gushed. “[I'm] very lucky.”

“[He likes] when I sing to him,” she told Us, then sang, “‘Be-bop-a-lula, he’s my baby!’ He likes that.”

The first-time mom says Flynn’s first holiday season is going to be “so exciting.”

Her favorite part of Christmastime? “I love putting little things in the stockings!” she said. “[Also] I love to cook… I cook everything! I love cooking roasts, like roast chicken and vegetables especially over the holidays.”

When it comes to gift-giving, the supermodel and her hubby, 34, are into quality over quantity. “One of the most thoughtful things [was] when Orlando and I had written all these love letters to each other. Then one year, he had them framed for me, like all the little notes!” she said. “It was very cute.”

And although Kerr’s career is hotter than ever, her main focus is family life with Bloom, who she married in 2010, and baby Flynn.

“My priority is to be with [Flynn],” she told Sydney’s Herald Sun last month. “So I am very selective with [the jobs] I do.”

[From Us Weekly]

Orly framed their love letters. Damn, Orly. He really flat-out adores Miranda, doesn’t he? Like, he’s not even one of those guys who tries to act all cool and like, “My lady is special, but I’m badass so I’ll act like I’m over it.” Orly loves Miranda so much, he’s just a flat-out dork with her. They’re super-cute with each other. It’s sweet.

Miranda Kerr covers the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia, and these are some of the photos from the shoot, as well as some of the behind-the-scenes photos, courtesy of Bazaar’s slideshow here. The shoot is also notable because Miranda flashed her post-pregnancy bum – go here to see it. She looks great! In the interview, Miranda discusses baby Flynn, and posing nude and how she’s confident. As I’ve said before, I’ve really started to like Miranda. I consider her the anti-Gisele – Gisele is all about patronizing non-mothers and mothers alike with wide generalizations and judgments. Miranda seems more like a “this is my experience, other ladies have other experiences” kind of person. Here are some highlights:

Kerr on her happiness: “I’d say what makes me happy is having this little man. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by those I love and we are in a natural environment … It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Becoming a mother puts everything into perspective. You become more comfortable in your own skin.”

On balance: “I always say life is about balance, not about depriving yourself. If you want something then I encourage you to have it. When you deprive yourself, you naturally crave it more.”

On possibly trying to become an actress: “If someone approached me and it sounded interesting, I wouldn’t be opposed to it, but it’s not something I think about.”

Miranda also says that she’s still breastfeeding Flynn, who is now ten months old. While Miranda had a rather triumphant return to the catwalk for Paris Fashion Week (she walked in several of the biggest shows), she talked about the push-pull of breastfeeding while working: “I’m still breastfeeding so I have to express milk and send it back to him, and then try and see him on my breaks. I was up for hours last night as he’s teething. And when he’s crying, he just wants Mommy! It’s such hard work.” She also said the Orly Bloom “loves it! But seriously, he’s very hands on. I really couldn’t ask for a better dad.” And she couldn’t ask for a better husband either – Orly adores the hell out of her.

A few days ago, Miranda Kerr wore a swimsuit on a runway for the first time since giving birth to my favorite celebrity baby of the moment, Flynn Kerr-Bloom. Flynn is seven months old, and as you can see from these photos of the David Jones show in Sydney two days ago, Miranda is still breast-feeding. I mean, that’s what it looks like to me. Her boobs didn’t look like that before. According to Us Weekly, when Miranda came onto the catwalk in this swimsuit, the audience gasped and everyone applauded her (and her boobs, and her post-pregnancy figure). People are acting like Miranda JUST snapped back recently, when really she looked runway-ready just a few months (or, minutes) after giving birth. By the way, this wasn’t Miranda’s first runway since giving birth – she did the Balenciaga show in March, but she was covered up then.

Miranda told the Sydney Herald-Sun that she was jittery before the show: “I am a little nervous about getting back on the runway after just having a baby seven months ago in a swimsuit. But you know, I have been doing my squats and I started Pilates as well as my usual yoga routine.” I’ll say.

In addition to the runway photos, we also have new photos of Miranda and Flynn! I love this kid so much. He’s so chubby and gorgeous. Miranda talked about him in the Herald-Sun interview too, saying “He is on a good routine now so we will keep it that way. He is a charmer. I am breast feeding and pumping. When I am at work I am pumping, I feel like a milk maid, but it is worth it.” She also described Flynn as “a little flirt” – which I can totally see. He looks like the happiest baby ever.

Here are some new photos of Miranda Kerr and her adorable baby Flynn in LA over the weekend. For my money, I tend to think Flynn is one of the cutest of all of the celebrity babies. I know it’s not a competition and all babies are beautiful, etc, but Flynn is a little star to me – he just looks so happy and connected to his mom, and he seems like such a docile, easy-going, chubby little guy. I love him!

Anyway, Miranda did a new interview (video at the bottom) with an Australian TV show, Sunday Night, and there are some interesting quotes from the piece. Some of the quotes are similar to her interview last week, but there is some new stuff, and Miranda seems like a sweetheart.

Miranda on her natural childbirth: “I had made the decision to not have any drugs, no epidural, nothing. Each to their own. I’m crazy for doing that! A lot of my friends who have had epidurals have said, ‘Oh (labor) was so great’.” Asked if her resolve wavered at any point during the labor, she admitted: “I remember looking at Orlando and saying ‘Oh honey.’ And he said, ‘Give me the epidural! Seriously, if you don’t want it I’ll take it because right now I’m dying watching you go through this pain’. I didn’t realize (Flynn) was going to be such a big baby.”

It wasn’t love at first sight with Orly: “I think it was his persistence,. Maybe he wanted me because he thought he couldn’t have me. I was reluctant – not about him, but the idea of that (him being a movie star).”

On having more children: “I always thought I would have three. Right now I’m just trying to enjoy Flynn. They say the first three years are the most important, so I want to make sure that he gets the attention and the nurturing and love that he really needs. so we’ll see what happens.”

[From The Mail]

Haha, she didn’t fall for Orly right away. Good for her for not sugar-coating it. I’ve always believed that Orly is WAY more into Miranda than she is with him. Not that Miranda doesn’t love him – I think she does. But I think Orly is just utterly devoted to her, and he walks around feeling like the luckiest guy in the world because she married him and had his baby.

Here’s the video of the interview:

I’ve made fun of Miranda Kerr in the past for thinking that quartz crystals can somehow pass their energy to water. She’s not the brightest bulb, but she’s very sweet. She really endeared herself to me with two new interviews in her native Australia, with the Daily Telegraph and with Australian In Style. She talks about her natural birth experience, a boyfriend who died when she was a teen, and the fact that she has help with her baby with Orlando Bloom, but doesn’t have a nanny per se. The most widely repeated quote is where she said she felt like she was going to die when she had her son, Flynn, in January. The baby was almost 10 pounds and it sounds like no one knew how big he was going to be until he came out.

On her birth experience
“I’ve never been through so much pain, but I was totally present the entire time, focusing on my breath and meditating,” she says. “I kept thinking, how do women do this? But if other women have done this, I can do it, too. I was determined.

“I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body. I felt as if I was looking down on myself – the pain was so intense. Then he came out and we met, and it was the best thing. I think once you go through something like that, nothing else fazes you – it puts everything into perspective.” Kerr later revealed to US talk show host Conan O’Brien that she wouldn’t let Bloom leave the room while she was in labour, even making him pee in a bottle.

“Orlando was by my side the whole time,” she smiles. “I couldn’t have done it without him. Just to have his support was a really wonderful experience.”

On naming her son after a boyfriend who died as a teen
Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom was (in part) named after Kerr’s first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, who died in a tragic car accident when he was a teenager. In her book Treasure Yourself, she wrote of that time: “Chris’ death taught me that the people who touch your life are always with you. It taught me that I have the choice to be grateful for the time I had with him instead of dwelling on losing him.”

“Chris and I had been dating for two years,” she says today. “After he died, I wrote him a letter that said I hoped to name my first child after him in some way. I told Orlando and he was the one who said he’d be happy to do that. Orlando’s a good guy.”

On raising Flynn with Orlando’s help
“It’s whoever has their hands free. When I’m not working we don’t have a nanny. Some nights we have a lady who comes in to help out but he [Flynn] is getting better at sleeping now, so not as often. And if I need to get on a plane for one day of work, I pump my milk and put it into the freezer for Orlando.”

At least she’s being honest about what she went through and isn’t minimizing it, like Gisele, who claimed that childbirth didn’t hurt “in the slightest.”

I had my son in a birth center without medication, and I’m mentioning this as background and do not consider it a bragging right. It wasn’t particularly brave on my part, because it was a fear of hospitals and doctors that led me to make that choice. The labor itself wasn’t that bad as I did hypnosis ahead of time and had a recorded session playing on a CD. The pushing was a bitch, and I remember it being much harder than I expected. (Maybe since I had dropped out of the Bradley birthing classes before we got to that part.)

Basically everyone’s birth experience is different, it’s a personal choice and I’m mentioning mine because I don’t want people to assume that it’s intolerable or impossible to have a child outside the hospital. It definitely was uncomfortable, and I might opt for meds if I ever have another one. (If there’s some situation where I can get meds and don’t have to be in the damn hospital.) When I got to see my baby though, it was so worth it. It sounds like Miranda feels the same and like she has a very solid relationship with Orly. They’re adorable together and Flynn is just so cute!

On another note, did you see these pictures of Orlando’s ex Kate Bosworth hugging up on him? It’s clear Miranda has nothing to worry about.

Photos below are from The Daily Telegraph, where there are more. She’s gorgeous but I feel like we’ve seen these before. In Style photo via Sydney Morning Herald.

These photos of Miranda Kerr and her six-month-old son Flynn at LAX on July 4 prove several things all at once:

1. Miranda is still breastfeeding. I mean… my goodness.

2. Miranda + Orly Bloom = adorable babies.

3. Baby Flynn is ridiculously cute, amazingly chubby, absolutely gorgeous and he seems deliriously happy.

4. Baby Flynn doesn’t like shoes. I didn’t either when I was a baby! Some babies just don’t care for shoes.

5. Getting Miranda Kerr pregnant is the best, most interesting thing Orlando Bloom has ever done. Sorry, LOTR-lovers. It’s true.

Meanwhile, Miranda covers the new issue of Australian Cosmo, and the only interesting thing was Miranda’s confession that she’s been drinking Tahitian “Noni juice” since she was 14 years old – it’s some sort of obscure Asian fruit drink.

Going back to Orly – have you guys seen the trailer for The Three Musketeers? Orly is… um… er… his hair! Oh, bless his heart.

My goodness, someone is still nursing! I’ve never been a big Miranda Kerr fan (as a model, you know, she never really did it for me), but I really enjoyed her pregnancy and she’s grown on me significantly. I now have warm feelings for both Orlando Bloom and Miranda – they seem like really happy, excited first-time parents who are completely in love with each other and their baby Flynn. Anyway, these are some newish photos of Miranda’s boobs (and little else) at the premiere of Orly’s new film, The Good Doctor. The premiere was Friday night, so Miranda and Orly seemed to make into a date night. Orly looks beyond thrilled to have a wife like Miranda (or her boobs, what have you).

Like most new dads Orlando Bloom is proud of his 3-month-old son Flynn.

“He’s my boy, he’s amazing,” the actor told reporters before the premiere of The Good Doctor at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Friday.

Bloom also explained how his life has changed since his son’s arrival on Jan 6.

“Everything you know, all the things that you thought were important, drift into the background,” Bloom, 34, said. “And even things that were important really come to the fore and he’s one of them.”

Saving some compliments for Flynn’s mother, Bloom said it felt “wonderful” to have Miranda Kerr by his side at the premiere. “She’s gorgeous,” he said of his wife of nine months, who recently showed off an unbelievable post-baby body at a bikini photo shoot.

The actor also had a movie to promote, telling reporters, “I get to play a doctor who falls in love with a patient, which is a big no-no.”

Yes, Miranda’s post-pregnancy body is insane. Genetics and hard work, probably. And breast-feeding. Good for them! As for Orly and this film… eh. I guess it’s good for him that he’s still getting work. He’s not really relevant, he’s not a good actor, and he’s not even that pretty these days. But… I suspect he’s a lot happier these days. So maybe Miranda will let him be a stay-at-home house-husband.

I have to admit, I’ve never, ever, EVER seen anything with Orlando Bloom. Even back when he was relevant, circa 2002, I was never into him. He just seemed so fancy and silly. BUT… I like the new Orly. This new Orlando is steadily growing on me. This version is a devoted husband to his wife, Miranda Kerr, and he’s a new father to baby Flynn Kerr-Bloom, and he just seems like this is the happiest he’s ever been. Like, he just looks as if he completely adores being in the company of his wife and son. It’s so cute. And I think it’s real – he’s not that good of an actor, you know? He just loves his life right now.

Anyway, these are new photos of Orly, Miranda and Flynn exiting de Gaulle airport in Paris this morning. I love that even when Flynn is in Miranda’s arms, Orly still has his hand out to support Flynn’s neck. Or is he trying to make sure the photographers don’t get a shot of Flynn? I don’t know. Miranda looks great too – she’s the one who is way more relaxed.

Apparently, they’re in town for Paris Fashion Week. Do you think Miranda will walk a runaway or two? I doubt it. She’s probably just there to put in some appearances beside the catwalk.

New parents Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are known for their environmental activism. Orlando is involved with both UNICEF and Global Green, while Miranda has her own line of organic beauty products and gave birth to son Flynn without pain medications.

So it makes sense that the nursery for Flynn would be “green,” as in eco-friendly. But Mirlando have taken it a step further — the nursery is literally green.

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom have spent the past few months renovating their home to make room for their new baby boy, Flynn!

“Miranda and Orlando have spent weeks decorating Flynn’s nursery, child-proofing and making it completely eco-friendly,” a source tells In Touch. “They painted it a pale green, and his mattress, blankets and clothes are all organic!”

[In Touch, print edition, February 7, 2011]

Orlando has taken a lengthy break from big Hollywood movies, playing supporting roles in independent films like Main Street and Sympathy for Delicious instead. But he will be back in blockbusters like The Three Musketeers (as the bad guy) and hopefully The Hobbit. He was also just announced as the lead in The Laureate, playing poet Robert Graves.

With her interest in health and beauty, Miranda should be back in bikinis for Victoria’s Secret soon too.

Their passion for the earth and interest in Buddhism are why these two seem to be a good match, and it’s nice to see them raising their son in the same way. But the Orly-loonie part of me is glad Orlando will be back on the big screen, especially as Legolas.
