Birkhead -- "Oooh Baby!"

The first photos have surfaced showing proud papa Larry Birkhead with his and Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn.

OK! has the exclusive shots and an interview with the L.A. based photographer, who last week was determined to be the biological father of the 7-month-old. Perhaps, you heard?!

In the mag, Birkhead reveals that just three days before Dannielynn's birth, Anna sent him an e-mail saying, "Don't fall in love again, I'd be a bit jealous." Interestingly, Birkhead states that contrary to what people may think, Anna's alleged lover, Howard K. Stern, has been "a great help" with baby D, but adds, "Howard did things for Anna that no one wanted to. I actually feel sorry for Howard."

As far as Anna's mother is concerned, Larry says Virgie's not his enemy. "If she wants to be a grandmother, she can be a grandmother, my mom wants to be a grandmother too, but I'm not going to sign a paper saying so, it's just not right." Read between the lines, please!

A custody hearing for Dannielynn is scheduled for Friday in the Bahamas. As for the photos, all proceeds from their sale will be put into a trust for Dannielynn.

76. to #14

We know bad people are in this world but I sincerely pray you improve.
This is time for celebrating. This is a time for Hope (like D-lynn's middle name).
Just because her mother did some drugs does not mean this is a bad child.
This child comes to us in innocense.

Did you have a choice as to which womb you would come out of????
THINK, PLLLLLLEEEASE. hatred breeds hatred. Young lives deserves our love and positive thinking even when learning the bad side of life. Because we present any situation with love & kindness to them is what makes them survivors, like Larry Birkhead. Do you think he became the gentleman he is by chance? No, by loving guidance. We are the adults here, please lets act like it. This is not a schoolground and we do not tolerate bullys.

77. The whole world was waiting for this Oh! so precious picture.And I also can't wait to see a pic of the whole birkhead family united outside of the compound.(Free).No body is to blame for the $$$trail except Anna, HK$ is just following her wishes.So be it if Larry gets money.At least it's not porn or filth.This whole world is just full of greed.Larry didn't get her drugs,he did put his foot down which is why she fled with her good friend and enabler, and why this 7 month ordeal and 2 dead people came to be and so the $$$ keeps happening. Howie being an intelliegent Attorney knew what he was doing and still does he just got sloppy and in debt.
On the Nannies video WOW! Dr.E signing Checks in Anna name?? Federal offence here in U.S. (illegal worker and Gibson knew? All the drugs!!?? truly a shame did they really think they were doing her a favor?Her friends?? Love? Crime(deffinitly). God Bless you Larry and little Dannielynn.This baby is really a miracle to have survived so far.

78. I will never have a will or leave a named guardian for my children. What good does it do? Everything Anna wanted to be done has been disregarded on her death. I don't understand.
Anna and Howard were happy. She left her final wishes with us, why aren't they being carried out. Why? Howard you have to keep going on this. You protected her in life and she is counting on you. When your job here is done you will be side by side again in your final resting place with her in the Bahamas, but until then you have work to do to straighten this out and only you can do it.

79. If Vergie wants custordy is are he died, give it too her, but give her joint custody with his mom and appoint a person to take over the financial trust!

80. Yes! cash in on your daughter!... you wanted fame and fortune and you got it, you greedy person. I feel sorry for the baby, greedy dad and greedy grandmother.

If she had updated her will, a lot of this would not have gone on.

82. At last...Dannielyn is with her right father! Best wishes to Larry---it was worth the fight!
He will be a good father and will provide a stable family life for her! The truth always wins! And as to Virgie Arthur---yes, she is a grandma, like Larry's own mother---so why does Virgie want custody! She herself was not a good mother to Anne Nicole...so why should she have a share in bringing up Dannielyn?

83. 69. Yes, she is a beautiful baby, but from the looks of her eyes, it looks as if she has mild fetal alcohol syndrome. I hope that's not the case, but it's likely. I hope she's reaching her milestones like they report. Time will tell how she's really affected.

You are the 5th pos I've seen that mentions the eyes. I saw the same think. Looking straight on in shots DL eyes seem Cross-eyed or something. Is that what you see? And is that a symptom of fetal alcohol syndrome?

84. God Bless you and your baby Larry. Keep Vergie at bay, and surely no joint custody. She will be a thorn in both of you and Dannilynn's side. She successfully helped mess up Anna's life, keep her at a distance. She will plant poison in a beautiful relationship of you and Dannilynn. Dad, get her a solid step-mother one who has christ in her life.

It is not logical or right to give an old person custody of a baby. If anyone should have custody, if should be an aunt or uncle. That is not done by contract, but in your living trust or your will.

To be fair, it is said to be going in a trust for Dannielynn.

87. people, i'm reading these comments and chuckling. And here's how I got there:

.......do U-guys really think because Larry is being "human" towards Howard that he is sucking up to howard???????????????????? Did larry ever give you the impression that he's dumb or that he is not a gentleman?????????????????

the man has his child, THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN HIS LIFE. In all liklihood he cannot take this child out of that house until Friday night? Now tell me something, if it were you, Would you anger someone who is sleeping in the same house with your daughter who is in no position to defend herself?

Larry is doing what he knows will keep his child safe. I guarantee you, expect another side of Larry once he touches down on American Soil with Daughter in tow!

This was already in the news before Anna died. It is very common in babies.

90. 69- Have you ever had a child with FAS? First - low birth weight and you would see more problems by now. Withdrawl would be one of them and sick. Don't bring up problems unless you know for a FACT. You Larry, do not have to sign anything with Virgie. There is nothing in the law about grandmother rights. Virgie lost that long time ago!!!!!!
