After just settling into their new home in Louisville, Ky and his new house is soo pretty! Larry Birkhead and his daughter Dannielyn, who turned 3 on Monday, are counting their blessings. The 36-year-old single father sat down with Ok! to discuss Dannielynn's birthday, her uncanny resemblance to mama Anna Nicole Smith and how she is starting to miss her late mother.

On Dannielynn turning 3: "It seems only weeks ago I was bringing her home and now all this time has gone by and she’s bigger and wiser and such a great kid. Her birthday is a happy occasion. Parties are always stressful for me because I try to make them these big blowouts. But she’s at the age where she appreciates it now and she’s excited — although I’ve been warning her that she has to give up her bottle when she turns 3, so we’ll see how that goes."

On Dannielynn looking just like Anna: "It just happened in the last year. I have photos where they look exactly the same. She loves posing for the camera like Anna, too. And she’s going to be tall like her mommy."

On if Dannielynn misses Anna: "She misses her mommy so much. Right now she’s at the age where she’s noticing that other children in television and in books have moms. She said to me the other day quite seriously, “Where’s my mom?” It was sad but I explained to her, “Your mommy is in the clouds and you’ll see her again one day.” She knows who her mom is, though — I make sure of that. Our home is filled with photos of Anna and recognizes her straight away. I want to keep her mom and Daniel in her mind."

On the cute things she does: "We were flicking through stations on the radio in the car the other day and she starts singing along to this song, “You’re a jerk, you’re a jerk.” I have to watch what I say around her now because she’s a sponge."

On if he loves fatherhood: "I do! It’s hard work and time consuming but it’s worth it when I hear her laugh. All my friends are out in bars, but I don’t miss it. In fact, I’m morphing into my parents — I’ve become corny and sensible."

On his hopes for Dannielynn: "I just want her to be a kid and not worry about all the nasty things going on in this world. I’m her shield and that’s how it will always be.
