Only four and a half months into motherhood and Nicole Richie is already getting awards for it! Babytalk magazine is presenting her with their “prestigious” Golden Pacifier Award.

Why is Harlow’s mommy worthy of such an honor? Babytalk’s editor-in-chief, Lisa Moran, explains:

“Honoring Nicole Richie with a Babytalk Golden Pacifier Award might come as a surprise to some, but we felt that she deserved some recognition for her turnaround since becoming a mom.

“She’s grown up a lot since the arrival of little Harlow, and her creation of the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation has demonstrated her efforts to set a good example by shining a spotlight on important issues affecting today’s families.”

Hmmm. Well, I’ll give her this: she does seem to be the most stable of the celebutantes. I mean, Paris is skanky and Lindsay’s just a mess, so in comparison? Nicole does seem almost Mother Theresa-like. Sort of. I guess. It’s Friday–give me a break, people.
