As a little girl growing up, Katie Holmes dreamed of becoming a Hollywood actress. She idolized Julia Roberts and Audrey Hepburn. Young Katie even had a crush on her future husband. After watching Top Gun, she had no doubt in her mind that she would grow up to marry Tom Cruise. She recalled, “I very confidently said, ‘I’m going to marry him one day.’ Why not? He’ll like me. I’m fun.”

The 30 year old actress revealed in the latest issue of Glamour that being a mother to 2 ½ year old Suri “has been the most amazing experience – in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it’s the most important job in the world.”

Katie did admit that had suffered with first time nervous jitters. “During the first couple of days [with Suri], we would just sleep right next to her to make sure she was breathing. And I was constantly learning on the job, but Tom was very helpful and supportive,” Katie said.

Katie confesses that she and Tom are just a normal family. She revealed, “[We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties.” In addition to watching family movies in bed – “recently Madagascar and Cinderella for Suri” – the family even put on their own productions. “We play ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads storybooks to Suri and we all laugh.”

So what’s next for the mother who has tackled TV, the big screen and Broadway? Fashion! Katie said she is working on a clothing line for children. “My friend Jeanne Yang and I have been working together. She’s got twin girls about six years old, and we both grew up with mothers who sewed. We started about a year ago, sketching different things, trying to find comfortable clothing for our daughters that is also pretty and cute.”

Tom Cruise told People Monday night that Suri's vocabulary is "incredible". He said that he never gets sick of hearing "I love you, dada" or "I love you, mama." Almost 3 year old, Suri is growing up so quick.

Tom also went on to say "I just love every moment. We've got the teenagers and I've got the two-and-half year old and to have that I feel lucky."

Tom doesn't play favorites when it comes to his kids. He's been snapped with Suri all week, as they did NYC with mommy Katie to promote her new movie, Mad Money. But Cruise took a break to trek back to LA for the 13th birthday of son, Connor.

The father-son bonding took place at The Cut at the Beverly Wilshire hotel yesterday.

Cruise adopted Connor and Isabella, 15, during his 11-year marriage to Nicole Kidman, which ended in 2001.

Here's your weekly "awww" fix: Scientology crusader Tom Cruise and his precious little Suri, 20 months old, returning to their hotel suite on Upper East Side in New York City yesterday.

Tom and Suri have been providing moral support for mom, Kate, as she promos her new movie, Mad Money. 

He looks kinda awkward holding her, doesn't he?

Little Suri strapped on her dancing shoes again and rocked out to the music of the Spice Girls, for the second time in less than a month!

On November 20, she and her parents, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (or Kate, as Tom calls her and she now calls herself) were treated to a private concert by the group–just a fringe benefit of being buddy buddy with Posh and Becks.

Last night, the three went to LA's Staples Center to support their pals, sitting in a private booth with Becks and Posh's kid, Cruz for the 90 minute performance. Two nannies were also on hand, along with a security team, People magazine reports.

Suri cozied up between TomKat while Cruz sat on Becks' lap. Posh waved to her family and they waved back. Of course, this alerted the audience to their presence and the flashbulbs erupted.  

Suri and mom Katie Holmes are seen here at an airport in Berlin. They are saying "bye" to Grandpa Holmes while Tom Cruise is filming his new movie.

Tom Cruise is shooting a new movie Valkyrie in Germany and Katie and Suri decided to tag along. Katie Holmes and her 14-month-old daughter are sight-seeing in Tiergarten Park in Berlin on Thursday. I can't tell who Suri looks like more her mom or dad but she is still a little cutie!

On-year-old Suri Cruise will soon be a big sister, for parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly expecting their second child.

Rumors of a pregnancy started making rounds after the actress was spotted with a 'baby bump' when she and hubby Cruise joined pals David and Victoria Beckham to celebrate Real Madrid winning the La Liga title in a nail-biting match at the Bernabeu.

A source revealed that the couple are thrilled that they will soon be parents once again.

"Katie and Tom are thrilled about having another baby on the way. She is glowing with happiness," the source said.

Holmes, who gave birth to her daughter last year, recently told Entertainment Tonight that she wants to have more kids.

"Yes, definitely," she said when asked the question.

A source had also earlier revealed that Cruise had told Holmes that he wants to add another baby to their family when she's ready, and that Katie had given him her nod of approval.

If reports of Katie's pregnancy are true, then the new addition will make Cruise a dad of four. Aside from his daughter with Katie Holmes, he has two adopted kids.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes take out baby Suri for a St. Patrick's Day celebration. Tom and Suri are both spotted sporting green, while Katie carries a green handbag.

Rumors are still flying about the couple having a second child. There is speculation it might be a boy. What does this mean for Suri? There might be some competition on who's the cuter baby in the Cruise household…

According to TMZ, a TomKat confidante went shopping at the trendy Hollywood baby boutique, Petit Tresor, looking for different scenarios for a boy's nursery. He was overheard saying, "We want to be prepared for a baby boy." Interested themes included sports, nursery rhymes, cartoons, and the color blue. The shop was also given a deadline of April 15, which happens to be three days before Suri's first birthday.

Nothing says happy birthday like a baby brother!

Is it love or is Tom Cruise a psycho after all?

Katie Holmes is set to leave home and go to LA to start shooting a new movie, "Mad Money." Tom told the producers that he will be on the set everyday with Suri. According to TMZ, an insider states that Tom picked the movie for Katie because there are no love scenes or love interests. Let's keep an eye out to see if he has a love scene in his next movie.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took daughter Suri out the other day to watch her big brother's basketball game at Beverly Hills High School.

Isn't Suri a little young to drive? TomKat better put her in a car seat.

On Saturday night Katie Holmes left her daughter Suri, 10 months, at home with her sister-in-law while she attended a Giorgio Armani Prive fashion show in Beverly Hills. 

When asked about motherhood, Holmes told People, "I love it!". She also said that Suri is "doing really, really well. She's a beautiful little girl, and I feel so honored to be her mom, really."

The two enjoy "A lot of walking around," she says. "She loves just being outside right now."

The newly Mrs. Tom Cruise will be heading back to work soon. "I'm going to start a film in about a month and a half called Mad Money with Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton. I play a young girl who's part of three women who rob the Federal Reserve. It's a comedy." 

Like most moms, she says returning to work "will be another challenge but I have a wonderful, supportive husband and family, and it's another project that were going to handle together and that's part of the fun."
