Well, it’s a good thing for this little one that pirates are so cool right now, because poor little Dannielynn Birkhead has to wear an eye patch. Her daddy Larry Birkhead spoke exclusively with Entertainment Tonight about it, and said the eye patch is part of a treatment for strabismus. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and can also be known as lazy eye, or even appear as cross-eyed. So little Dannielynn is getting treatment to align her eyes properly, and the first step in that is an eye patch. Larry spoke with ET about the patch:

“I got her a little pirate doll to show her that people wear patches, and it’s OK, and daddy wears a patch if he has to to show her it’s OK. I’ve been really aggressive with the patch as much as I can be. At first she was really open to it and it didn’t really bother her. Now, she’s gotten a little smart because she can pull it off, so it’s a little bit harder for me to patch her.” ~ET

Aww, poor little thing. Let’s cross our fingers this treatment works soon. If it doesn’t, Danielynn may be facing surgery, and no baby should have to go through that.

Dannielynn is almost 1 years-old, and Entertainment Tonight has the exclusive interview with proud papa Larry Birkhead.

On how precious Dannielynn is: “Every day she does something new, and now she’s sharing her bottle with me. So if I say, ‘Give daddy a drink,’ she’ll toss it over her shoulder. It’s cool being a dad.”

On Dannielyn’s first birthday in September: “I’m thinking big. Her mom called her princess, so [I’m thinking of doing] something kind of Disney princess, or Hello Kitty — something real cool, so she can look back on it and say, ‘What a cool party.’”

On not dating at the moment: “The only lady in my life is my daughter, and she takes all my time, and that’s all I need right now — making up for lost time. We’re just having fun together and hanging out.”

OMG… she is absolutely adorable!!!! It’s totally amazing because when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had Shiloh, I thought she would be the cutest baby girl in Hollywood. But, she sure has some stiff competition! I wonder if they’ll hang out together as teenagers?
