Colin Farrell recently spoke to People about his son James, 10, who suffers from a rare neurogenetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome.  

“I remember the days when he couldn’t watch 10 minutes of a film because he couldn’t sit easy, but now he can,” Colin shared.

“Things like walking and talking and eating and feeding himself, all those things that so many of us naturally take for granted because they come so easily, to James, they come somewhat harder,” he said. “Everything he’s achieved in his life has come through the presence and the kind of will that is hard work. He’s a lot to be inspired by.”

"He just got potty trained!" singer Alicia Keys gushed about her 23-month-old son, Egypt (now three years old), at the 2012 VMA Awards. "Basically, [you] take them to the military!" she joked. "I took him to the military! No, it’s really just consistency and love and support and it was just amazing."

"He’s getting fat," Claire Danes laughed, during her red-carpet interview at the 2013 SAG awards last January, a little over a month after her son, Cyrus, was born. "It’s very exciting. All that time on the boob is starting to result in growth."

Of her newborn's latest milestones she said, “He’s starting to smile a little bit, and he kind of knows that I exist. That’s reassuring. That feedback is amazing."

“. . . [The twins] had a tough start,” Stephen Moyer recently said of his one-year-old twins with wife Anna Paquin. “They were early and it was touch and go there for a while, and so anything is amazing. I was just saying they are spitting up their first solid food. It’s fantastic.”

“There’s still things every now and then,” he added, “but they’re pretty great.”

And, while Anna’s eager for them to start walking, Stephen, who’s also dad to Lilac, 11, and Billy, 13, knows better. “Just wait,” he tells her. “Our lives are over once that happens!” Ha!

"I forgot to write down some of Mason’s milestones," Kourtney Kardashian said of her son, Mason, now 3. "Luckily, a lot of them were caught on camera. Now I immediately enter everything into my cell phone so I always have them, and then into the baby book.”

"They make their own beds, fold their own clothes," Camila Alves said of her two older kids, Vida, 3.5, and Levi, 5. "They get proud of being accomplished. It's not perfect, but they're into it!"
