Hilary Duff’s seven-month-old daughter Banks is loose! The little cutey is crawling, which means she’s getting into anything on her level, including a few places her mom – and the dog – might not want her. Hilary posted a video to Instagram about Banks investigating her mom’s green juice with the same hand she’d just fisted a mound of dirt and then moved on to play in the dog’s water bowl.
On Wednesday, Hilary Duff shared hilarious new clips of her 7-month-old daughter exploring their house — including her mom’s green juice and their dog’s water bowl.
The Younger star, 31, shared the videos to her Instagram Story. In one of the first clips, Duff films Banks crawling around outside, wearing a big, black bow in her hair. The baby girl, whom she shares with fiancé Matthew Koma, crawls towards Duff’s drink as the mom says, “What do you see? You see my green juice!”
Banks then sticks her hand directly into the liquid, causing Duff to say with a laugh, “You just put your hand in dirt and now you just put your dirt hand in my green juice!”
But the fun didn’t stop there. In subsequent clips, Duff showed Banks happily splashing around in their dog’s water bowl.
“Second babies love germs,”
Us provided the clip of Banks creating art with the dog’s water but warning – NSFW for adorable partial baby butt:
So, first off – yes, babies love germs. They love anything that makes their parents gasp and shout “Ohmigawd don’t touch that!” I think they just like to see adults running at them with a panicked look on their faces. Secondly, I can’t really fault Banks, I’m inclined to splash about in bodies of water when I pass them too. That’s just therapy. If I’m next to a pool, I’ll stick my toe in when I can get away with it. Same applies to the green juice, but people find it less charming when you shove your toe in their $12 kale smoothie. I’m sure mom-shamers will come out of the woodwork now. I, on the other hand, choose to view this as Banks first art installation. Years from now I will say, “I was fan before anyone even knew her work.”
Speaking of classic Hilary videos, when Buzzfeed interviewed the cast of Younger, we learned that Nico Tortella spends a good portion of his day sending Hilary memes that involve her. But the real joy was when Hilary referenced her own favorite meme of herself, the Me on a First Date one:
Hilary recreated it to the delight of her cast mates (and Twitter). It’s really cute:

I know I said I was tapping out for season six of Younger, but when I head Charles Michael Davis’ Zane was back, I went ahead and watched the first episode. I wasn’t crazy about it, but the sneak peek teaser has my interest so I’m probably good for at least half the season. We’ll see.

Lol at “art installation.’ Lately my IG feed is filled with kittens and it occurs to me now that kittens and human babies aren’t all that different. So cute.
I don’t follow her work but I have to say those glasses ads she does are annoying. That’s all I got.
I can’t wait to hear all the mommy shaming about this one. /s
Ha, right? Some germs a good for you! It’s helps immunity.
Germs are good for babies; they build tolerance and help populate the gut with micro-flora.
I firmly agree the kids I see the most are the ones that belong to hand sanitizer families.
Also, please stop using hand sanitizer it creates stronger germs. Just wash your hands and leave the full sanitation to medical professionals.
I worked in a hospital and we were told to sanitize our hands before entering a patient’s room and upon leaving. If sanitizer “creates stronger germs” why are hospital workers told to lather their hands in it for their entire 12 hour shifts…in a hospital setting…where there are sick people(some with very weak immune systems)? I have heard that alcohol based hand sanitizers do not in fact create stronger germs. It’s all that anti-bacterial soap that’s doing the damage from what I was told.
I’m not in the medical profession but almost every. other. woman in my family is and they same the same as @ME — it’s antibacterial soap which is the problem, not hand sanitizer. It’s not great for your skin (b/c of alcohol) and it doesn’t beat actual warm water, soap, and time to wash properly. But it’s better than nothing, and I imagine it’s peace of mind in the moment for parents of kids too small to keep their fingers out gross places and them immediately into their mouths.
Hand sanitizer does nothing for fecal germs. Using it after using a port-o-potty does almost nothing. People are better off vigorously rubbing hands under water, drying off with a paper towel, then using sanitizer on dry hands if no soap is available. Or hand wipes.
As a mother of 2 and part time babysitter I can verify that nothing is funner than a dish of dog water. Plenty of my friends say the same thing. It hasn’t killed any of them yet.
Love this. I have a hilarious/gross photo of my one year old with a mouthful of dry dog food. She looks so incredibly delighted with herself and it is hilarious. It makes me both laugh and gag. Kids are gross.
This reminds me of a comment I read on a similar photo on dogshaming.com. The woman said her younger brother ate dog food all the time as a kid and now is a doctor! LOL!
I guess I’ll be that person. I’m not mom-shaming as lots of people don’t know it and it’s not common knowledge, but dog saliva/dog water is really bad for humans. Yes, kids and adults with healthy immune systems benefit from some exposure to mild germs, but hands should always be washed with regular soap and water after using the bathroom, before eating, after sneezing/nose blowing, and after touching animals or their food and water dishes.
Contact with dog dishes and saliva have resulted in meningitis and encephalitis in people. Don’t wash dog dishes in the dishwasher with your dishes. Don’t put your dog dishes on your kitchen countertop. I know there will be a rash of people saying they’ve done it all of their lives and never had a problem, etc…but why take the risk?
