Celebrating Celebrity Baby Birthdays — Grier Hammond Henchy
Happy Birthday Grier Hammond Henchy! You are now 2 years old!
Name: Grier Hammond Henchy
Birthday: April 18th, 2006
Famous for: Being the second daughter of actress and model, Brooke Shields, and her husband, Chris Henchy. She was conceived naturally to the shock of Brooke and Chris, as they had difficulties and underwent IVF with Rowan.
No. I didn’t have IVF. I went in to start IVF and I was already pregnant. All our jaws dropped.
Siblings: Older sister, Rowan Francis, 5 next month.
Names: Her name is pronounced "grr-ear" – but say it fast. Grier means vigilant and it’s origin is Scottish. Hammond is of old German origin, is generally masculine and means home protector.

Fun Fact:
Born at the same hospital and on the same day as Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
What they said:
Having Grier has calmed Brooke in relation to when she is no longer with her children:
I realize that they will have each other when we aren’t here anymore. And to me, that really settles my mind.
Big sister Rowan’s reaction to Grier:
[Rowan] shared her blanket with her [Grier] so that was a huge step…she put her blanket in the bassinet and said ’she might need this’.
What Grier is like!
Grier came out like "la-la-la!" with little fairies flying around her head.
Check out Brooke’s amazingly honest interview with Life Magazine.
Birth story:
Brooke delivered Grier by c-section, after a long and unsuccessful labor, having had Rowan by emergency c-section because the cord was wrapped around her neck.

One of my favorite celeb babies! It always amused me that this sweet little girl’s name means vigilant home protector (I like it though). Happy birthday Grier!

I love those photos. They look so happy. Brooke seems really put together. It’s nice to see a child star turn out so well and seemingly ‘normal’ when it comes to life & parenting.

I love her expression in the fourth picture from the bottom. She looks like she’s thinking about the paps: “Don’t you guys have anything better to do?”
Anyway, happy birthday, Grier!

I love brooke shields, and grier is cute. She looks just like her dad now, so I wonder if as she gets older she will look more like brooke, cause rowan the older she gets the more I see brooke in her looks.
