Danilynn Smith Birkhead---her eyes....

[Rock'n Robin]

Does she have a lazy eye?
I haven't been watching the ceaseless coverage of her first BDay, but I have seen the commercials. My DS has a "lazy eye" (strabismus) that we notice when he was a little older than 2. Every time I see this baby on TV her eyes look like that to me. Something is "off".
I am not asking if the baby has had any eye issues diagnosed, I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed something seems weird here. Larry Birkhead is milking a ton of publicity out of that baby. Although I'm glad her life seems more settled, I wonder how he would deal with it if she had to wear an eyepatch for a while. DS did, and we were fine with it, but ET and the Insider aren't at our house every other day!
Actualy I HOPE it's an eye problem and not a result of Anna Nicole's drinking and/or taking medication when she was pregnant.

I haven't seen much of the coverage, if she does at least it can be corrected. Sadly the other issues this poor tyke faces in life cannot. I was really hoping Mr. Birkhead would just go quietly away to raise his daughter away from the camera. No such luck.

Yes, I have noticed that for awhile now. I am hoping its lazy eye and not something to do with the drugs and alcohol her mother used while pregnant with her.

I haven't noticed, but she is a stunning baby.

That is interesting, I noticed it too. DD has a very minor lazy eye that is correcting itself and the first time we really noticed it was in pictures. I wonder if the lens can "see" the shift easy than a person looking at a face?

Diagnosed early, it isn't that big of a deal and if we have noticed it, surely someone in the family has.

I've never noticed but i've always thought she was one of the most cutest babies with the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

And I'm a female that has no feelings for babies. I usually don't even give them a second look.

But she is just gorgeous. First thing I noticed were her eyes & how they looked just like Larry's.

I noticed that her eye turned inward early on. I hope she'll be diagnosed soon.

I agree. She really is a little doll.

Never noticed, but she sure is one adorable baby w/outstanding blue eyes, who really looks like her Daddy. Larry B seems like a very loving, devoted father and I'm glad he finally has his little girl.

I was just googling looking for images of her so I could look at her eyes. Its sad how many photos came up of Anna, Howard & Dannilynn together. It made me realize that no photos of Dannilynn, her mom & her dad together exist.

It is.... especially for Dannielynn as she grows up and hears from her dad about the "love story" of him and her mom... there are NO pics of them after Dannielynn was born, and very few of them together before Anna Nicole was pregnant - Anna Nicole never acknowledged a relationship with him.

I think Howard will be Dannielynn's best source of info about Anna Nicole - he was with her for longer than most of the other people in her life, and I think he truly loved her, faults and all.

Have you all read about the latest info re the book that just came out by Rita Cosby?

Let's just say that she claims Larry and Howard were more than just "friends"!
Yikes!

This is from E! about her book:

Just a week after Larry Birkhead publicly defended himself against unspecified though supposedly "explosive allegations" that cost him his exclusive make-nice deal with OK! magazine, the father of Dannielynn is again on the defensive, this time against salacious claims of a more detailed—and disturbing—nature.

In Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death, a new tell-all tome by former MSNBC talking head Rita Cosby released Tuesday, the cable-news pundit launches a series of potentially reputation-damaging allegations against both Birkhead and onetime paternity challenger Howard K. Stern—allegations against which Birkhead has already threatened legal action.

Per Grand Publishing, which by now is likely good and lawyered up, Blonde Ambition will also delve into "private deals" hashed out between the two men and "how they cut a secret deal which was financially advantageous to both parties, without regard to little Dannielynn."

Cosby writes in the book that Stern was using a "secret" he learned about Birkhead against the Kentucky-born photographer to "suddenly cut a deal with Stern"—which included Birkhead getting custody of Dannielynn and Stern being named executor of Smith's estate—"and dramatically turn his back on Anna's mother, Virgie Arthur."

Cosby also alleges that not only did Smith have "no intention" of staying with Birkhead after getting pregnant by him but she called into question Birkhead's feelings for her, claiming his association with the former Playmate was "based on his desire for celebrity, not love."

Though while the book's publisher apparently has no problem throwing its weight behind the allegations by Cosby—who reportedly introduced Birkhead to his first and subsequently former lawyer Debra Opri—other media outlets aren't so keen on the association.

According to TMZ, Cosby scheduled appearance on Today this week to promote the book was nixed after the morning show received a legal warning from Wood that threatened to hold NBC responsible for any false utterances that emerged from Cosby during the sit-down.

Similar allegations are also reportedly set to hit the newsstand this week, with OK! magazine making good on last week's announcement that it has canceled an exclusive-coverage deal with Birkhead in the wake of "shocking and potentially incriminating" allegations the magazine claims to have unearthed.

"It makes it impossible for OK!, in good conscience, to promote this family's highly questionable relationship in our pages," the magazine said in a statement last week.

"It's unfortuntae," the mag's editor, Sarah Ivens, said, "but at the moment, my biggest fear is that Larry and Howard may have tricked us all."

Speaking to E! Online in the wake of the magazine's cryptic announcement, Birkhead called the rag's reaction "sour grapes" after OK! caught wind that rival tabloid Us Weekly had expressed interest in its exclusive cover subject.

Whatever the reason, Birkhead said he planned to file suit against the magazine for "alluding to the fact that I'd be involved in anything unethical or immoral with my daughter."

She is a beautiful baby!
I did notice that about her eye. If it needs to be corrected that can be done pretty easily.

Lazy eye is a very very common result of fetal alcohol exposure. Not sure if this is relevant in this baby's case or not.
