Harper Seven Beckham – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Sun, 17 Jul 2011 17:28:55 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Harper Seven Beckham Makes Her Media Debut on Twitter and Facebook http://198.46.88.49/living/kids/harper-seven-beckham-makes-her-media-debut-on-twitter-and-facebook http://198.46.88.49/living/kids/harper-seven-beckham-makes-her-media-debut-on-twitter-and-facebook#respond Sun, 17 Jul 2011 17:28:48 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=20550 Pre-arrival, rumors were that David and Victoria Beckham‘s first daughter, Harper Seven, would be crawling around in custom red-soled Loubooties, burping up on couture blankets, eating  off of silver spoons and giving Suri Cruise a run for her money as the most extravagant tot in the Hollywood sandbox.

Fortunately, little Harper’s first photos seem to indicate a slightly more relatable childhood start.

Mom tweeted a picture of dad and daughter, and proud papa David Beckham responded on Facebook with a picture of his two girls catching a nap.

And most surprising is baby Harper looking like a baby! No mink onesies, diamond studded rattles, tiny handbags or baby wigs . Maybe they’re out of range on these shots, but aside from looking like they’ve lucked out with a baby who sleeps – and allows mom to nap – the photos are wonderfully normal. More designers are putting out children’s lines these days, so we could be mistaken, but the blanket and hat Harper wears in her closeup with dad look like (gasp) standard issue baby basics.

We also learned that Harper’s name did not, in fact, come due to some kind of arrangement with Harper’s Bazaar for debut photos, but from Victoria’s admiration for “To Kill a Mockingbird” author Harper Lee. {Daily Mail}

And just in case the favorite jersey number as a name thing weren’t indication enough that David Beckham is pretty excited to have another girl in the house, he laced up a pair of pink and white soccer shoes with all four of his children’s names embroidered on them for his latest game.

David and Victoria Welcome Harper Seven Beckham, Who May Follow In Suri Cruise’s Footsteps http://198.46.88.49/living/kids/david-and-victoria-welcome-harper-seven-beckham-who-may-follow-in-suri-cruises-footsteps http://198.46.88.49/living/kids/david-and-victoria-welcome-harper-seven-beckham-who-may-follow-in-suri-cruises-footsteps#comments Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:58:24 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=20461

Our family photos don't look like this either

 

Over the weekend, the fashion designer formerly known as Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) gave birth to a 7 lb. 10 oz. baby girl named Harper Seven. She joins unusually named siblings Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, but is Victoria and David Beckham‘s first girl.

There’s no word on where Harper came from – though it seems perfect for selling exclusive baby picture rights to Harper’s Bazaar – but Seven is for David Beckham’s old Manchester United jersey number. Or, the Beckhams are big Erykah Badu fans (she has a son named Seven).

Either way, we’re sure Suri Cruise is going to have some fierce competition for best dressed toddler in a few months. The Daily Mail reported that little Harper has a pair of custom made, red-soled Louboutin baby booties waiting for her and a mini closet  full of designer onesies, but the story has since gone missing (you can still read a hilarious recap at DListed). Which means it’s not certain that Harper Beckham will be next in our awkward stages of girlhood trend watch, but when your pre-arrival photos look like this

it’s pretty much a given that stepping up the glamour is a requirement, even if you can’t actually walk.
