See What Anna Nicole’s Daughter Dannielynn Looks Like Now

She loves Elmo, singing with Dad and shopping!

On Dannielynn’s second birthday, Larry Birkhead opens up in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, about raising Anna Nicole Smith’s little girl and shares with Us his own family album of their time together.

“When I take pictures of her she likes looking at them just like her mom did,” Birkhead tells Us.

“Some days I think she looks just like her,” he says of the tot, who who turned 2 on Sept. 7.

Still coping from the loss of Smith — who died of an accidental overdose in February 2007, just five months after Dannielynn’s birth — the doting dad admits to Us that fatherhood changed him.

“I think about life in a different way,” he reveals. “I had kidney stones and was in the hospital for a week in July. I was freaking out thinking, If something happens to me, Dannielynn is by herself. I’m all this little one has left.”

Birkhead also updates Us on Dannielynn’s surgery for strabismus (the turning of one eye) earlier this year.

“The surgery went very well,” he says. “We still patch her [eye] to make sure the eyes stay equally strong — they’re still adjusting.”

Still, she might have to undergo another surgery.

“I’m so paranoid medically with what we’ve been through,” Birkhead tells Us. “If she has a sniffle: straight to the doctors. Anna had a fever when she passed away.”

  • I don't think Dannielynn looks anything like her mother, she's the spitting image of her dad - Larry.

  • The teeth do draw attention & it looks a bit like bottle rot to me as well. It happens, doesn't say anything about his parenting skills... just wondering if it's confirmed. She is still her mama's daughter, beautiful!
