Larry Birkhead talks about being a hands-on dad
Larry Birkhead and his 9-month-old daughter Dannielynn are settling into the Los Angeles-area home of Dannielynn's late mother, Anna Nicole Smith, according to a new story in OK! magazine.  Larry -- who jokes that he's developed a "supersonic sense of smell when it comes to diapers" -- says that although he's hired a nanny, "she's just there to assist me, not to take over any parenting."

I'm really hands-on, like too hands-on with my hand on the baby, a hand on the cell phone, a hand on the diaper.

Dannielynn is a "mirror image" of Anna Nicole, according to Larry.

She has long legs and chubby little toes exactly like Anna's...It's really incredible.  And I think her lips are her mom's lips, especially when she pouts...She also gets what she wants exactly like her mom always did as soon as she'd pout.

Since relocating to Los Angeles from Kentucky, Larry said the paparazzi attention has started to become an issue for the twosome, and that their safety has -- at times -- been jeopardized.

I was a photographer and I understand they need a picture, but when they're running you off the road and you're in the car with your daughter and they're putting lenses up to the car so that it's like lightning in the car, it gets to be too much.

On Tuesday a Los Angeles judge admitted Anna Nicole's will to probate, naming Larry guardian to the estate and attorney Howard K. Stern -- who at one time claimed to be Dannielylnn's father -- executor of the will.
