Nicole Richie mugged it up with her daughter for this Friday’s issue of People Magazine. In the accompanying interview, Nicole and baby-daddy Joel Madden discuss life since the birth of daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden nine months ago.

Nicole: “Harlow’s a delicate soul. She studies people. She’s very coy. People say that she and I make the same expressions. But everyone says she looks like Joel.”

Joel: “I’m cool with it, as long as she doesn’t look like me in a wig when she’s 16. I like that she looks like me: it’s my get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Nicole (on maternal responsibilities): “I think my sense of self is still the same. But I don’t do things, we do things. I work around her.”

Joe: “Nicole is completely dedicated. I do whatever she tells me to do. I’m cool with that. She’s really good with the baby. I’m really good with finances. All of Harlow’s education and all that stuff, I already have planned.”

Nicole (on marriage plans): “When we get married, everyone will know. It will happen when it happens.

Joel (on having more kids): “If it could be as easy as Harlow, sure.”

Harlow is adorable, but can she read encyclopedias like Nicole Kidman’s three month old daughter, Sunday Rose? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

    That baby would look much cuter with bad neck tattoos.

    God, Harlow is adorable. I don’t think Joel Madden is remotely attractive, but, on a baby, that face works.
