She’s such a pretty little girl. I would be extremely nervous having her walk behind without even holding my hand…I’m paranoid that somebody could come up and snatch my baby.

Is Izabella Laird’s daughter with someone else, or is she Gabrielle’s biological daughter as well? I just didn’t remember her being mentioned when Brody Jo was born.

MB, Isabella is his daughter from previous relationship. She was mentioned in every article when Brody Jo was born as well. She’s his biological daughter too

LOL! I used to work at the National Zoo and most fathers walk without (1) holding their kids’ hands and (2) in front of them. It drove me NUTS because the kid, depending on his or her height, is really only looking at a collection of knees and thighs and could, as Carol fears, be snatched up because Dad isn’t really looking.

I wish I could see her without the platform flip flops to be able to tell how tall she really is. Four a 4 yr old, she looks pretty tall and, you know, “finished” instead of like a little girl immediately post-toddler years…

I think the reason so many fathers walk like Laird does, in front of their children without holding their hand is it is a biological thing like leading the pack and expecting their young to follow. Doesn’t make men any less of a father, it just seems like a biological or instinctive thing.

LOL! If she’s anything like my little pip of a four-year-old, she has absolutely no interest in holding his hand because “I’m a big girl and can do it by myself.”
