So cute! She is such a great mix of both parents.

- Brandi on

Wow! She looks so grown up in this picture!

- Lis on

she is so cute!

- Kristine on

She is beautiful! He seems to be doing a great job with her. She seems like a happy girl!

- Marci on

What a cute little girl! and how adorable does she look with all the paint on her face.

- Vicki on

Wow, she is totally Larry’s mini-me for sure!!!! She’s a cutie :)

- Veronica on

Awwww. Gosh, my heart just breaks that this little girl doesn’t have a mommy. But seems like Larry is doing a great job. And I don’t begrudge him for selling pictures to magazines at all. A lot of people would do the same if they had the opportunity to ensure their kid’s financial well-being.

- martina on

Dannielynn looks great! Did she ever end up getting that surgery Larry was talking about?

- Chelsea on

she is a beautiful girl, she looks just like anna now. Larry seems like a great dad, he is always with her.

- gianna on

to chelsea look at her eyes they are very very stright i would say yes

- melissa on

Chelsea -

Yes, DannieLynn had the eye muscle surgery. I have followed her story closely as my daughter had the same surgery just over a year ago. We also tried the patching first and it did not work & right around that time I read here that they were going through the same thing.

She’s certainly a beautiful, happy little girl – Larry seems to be doing a wonderful job.

- Amanda on

wow, I used to think she was all Anna but now I see so much of Larry in her. She’s adorable! I noticed her little fingernails are painted, in addition to her face–he seems to be doing such a great job with her and letting her be so girly-girl!

- momof4 on

Beautiful! How anyone could have ever thought Larry wasn’t her biological father is beyond me. They look identical:)

- Tiffany on

He wins father of the year in my book! He seems to be doing an incrediible job, I bet he’s even the one painting those little nails :)

- Jessica on

I was worried he was just using her during the court battle, but he seems to really love her! What a relief after such a tragedy!

- Chris on

It never ceases to amaze me how much she looks like her mother.

- Lynn on

I think she looks very much like both of her parents and it melts my heart every time I see these two together; he is obviously a devoted, loving dad and is doing a great job taking care of his little girl.

- Julie on

Dannielyn is beautiful and the spitting image of her daddy! I always noticed how her teeth looked yellowish? will this affect her adult teeth? just wondering!

- g!na on

very adorable little girl

- kimmy on

What a pretty little girl. Looks just like daddy.

- Cheri on

she looks just like her dad….. its uncanny

- Tam on

She is such a pretty little gal.

- True on

She is such a sweet little girl. It is so sad that she will never know her mother, but Larry seems to be such a great daddy. I am so happy everything turned out alright for them in the custody battle. Keep it up, Larry!

- Shannon on

g!na, teeth being yellow doesn’t indicate how healthy or unhealthy they are. My own kids had yellowish baby teeth yet were much stronger then my sister’s children who had very white teeth.

- Camilla on

Dannielynn is 99.9% Anna! I think Larry often remarks on their striking resemblance. I agree!

As far as her eyes, I really hope Larry will look into vision therapy. My sister did vision exercises to straighten her eyes (after her first and only surgery), and now her little daughter has begun vision training. It’s a time commitment, but surgery is unlikely to “teach” the eyes binocularity.

- AE on

She is soooo cute!

I’m glad Larry is her father as he seems to be doing a really good job!

She’ll grow up to be a fine young lady!

- Katherine on

I’m so glad he was the father and not Stern! I hate that Anna died but Danni is with the best person for her.

- Lola Marie on

He really has stepped up to being a great parent for Dannielynn she looks like a very happy very much loved litte girl it makes my heart feel happy

- mollie on

Beautifel little girl!!

- j on

I absolutely love Dannielynn. She is so darling & precious! She is one of my favorite celebrity babies.

- Marcia5519 on

They are soo cute…What a wonderful dad!!!

- Lanie on

He is such a wonderful father….how nice is her little life going to be with him….

- Lanie on

amanda

i can see her beautiful eyes straight. i will let you know i am 22 years old and i had that surgery performed on me when i was 1yr old. my eyes are straight now. thank the lord i look foward to seeing more pictures of her and larry! he looks like he is doing a great job as dad!

- karen on

Tiffany
My thoughts exactly! Ever since the get-go I knew he was the father because of their resemblance!
She has all of her late mama’s looks and her papa’s all rolled into one beautiful, secure, happy package!

- LB on

Camilla- I agree! Also, there’s actually a reason why naturally yellower teeth are usually strong than naturally very white teeth. From what I’ve read, when teeth are naturally very white, that usually indicates that there is a calcium deficincy. Calcium strengths teeth as well as bones, hence teeth with less calcium are going to be weaker than teeth with more. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

Gosh, she is such a beautiful little princess. I have to agree that she looks a lot like Anna, but she definitely has a lot of Larry in her. I, too, thought during the trial that Larry was just using Dannielynn as a financial pawn, but he does seem very devoted to her. I hope he brings her up well and continues to do so in more of a private setting than in Los Angeles. He seems to be exposing her to more of LA’s seen and be seen settings, which he used to be opposed to. It seemed refreshing to hear his take on having her live a private and as normal a life as possible. And many of you think it is sad she will never have known her mother and while I do agree for the most part, in all honesty, with the life Anna was living, I just can’t fathom the type of role model she would have made for Dannielynn and the exposures she would have brought to her life. This is the same woman who was putting her infant daughter on a diet to be thin!!!!! Anyways, I am so happy to see her thriving and always looking happy! Keep up the great work Larry!

- Mandy on

@ Camilla- thanks for your response. I’m glad to hear it has no effect and actually means their stronger!

- g!na on

Mandy- It was never confirmed that Anna had then-baby Dannielynn on a diet to keep her thin. It was apparently a former nanny who said that, but whether she was telling the truth or not was anyone’s guess!

I would guess it’s not true, as Dannielynn has always to be a healthy weight, even as an infat! :) I do, however, agree with the rest of what you said about Anna.

Mandy- I believe Larry and Dannielynn have moved to Kentucky. The reason they’ve been in California lately is because Larry was/is (not sure if the trial is over yet) testifing in a court case against Howard K. Stern and some of Anna’s doctors (just to clarify, the court case is a case against those people. I’m not sure whether Larry is/was testifying against them, or for them.).

Also, they may split their time between the two places. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

Kudos to Larry for the great job he is doing with Dannielynn. He has come clean and kept the public abreast of her eye situation and has said that she may need more surgery. I respect him for being so honest, unlike some celebs who hide all kinds of things…

- ama on

I agree with all of the others on this site that has all the nice things to say About Larry And Dannielyn,Yes he looks like he is doing a great job,of raising his little Anna,Yes she looks like her mother to me,she is the cutiest of all of the hollywood kids to me.

- kylady on

She looks like him. Especially the eyes. She’s beautiful and seems to be very healthy and happy. Larry seems to be doing a wonderful job. :)

- Laura on

ama- What’s wrong with celebs hiding certain things? I mean, if, for example, their child needs surgery or the celeb themself has a health problem, it’s really none of our business! Just because celebs are in the public eye doesn’t mean they have to share every part of their private lives with us!

- CelebBabyLover on

She is a gorgeous girl. I just wish her father didn’t have such a gift for finding the cameras at every available opportunity.

- noodlemonkey on

I was just on here reading about what every one is saying about Larry and Dannielyn,I wonder what they did for Thanksgiving??/Were they in Ca. or Ky??I wish them all the Best for the Holidays.
