Bethenny's Baby
Growing Up

Bravo's favorite mommy Bethenny Frankel is gearing up for Father's Day, looking back on her first year with baby Bryn, and preparing for round two. SheKnows got to chat with the supermom and the recently fluent Bryn!

Bethenny Frankel "lives for" one-year-old daughter Bryn. So it's no surprise that when we chatted with her recently, baby Bryn was on hand for the convo as well!

So what's new with Bethenny's little princess? For starters, she's talking! As Bethenny cooed to her daughter during our interview, we heard what sounded like a "ma-ma-ma" in the background.

"Yeah, she's talking," Bethenny confirmed. "She says mama, balloon, wow, and her newest word 'ma-na-na-na,' which means banana."

Bethenny took a break from helping out Clorox and the Children's Health Fund to talk to SheKnows about how her first year of motherhood has been going. She recently joined the charity's "Check in for Checkups" campaign to get proper health care for underprivileged children.

Though Father's Day is approaching, it was clear from our convo which parent Bryn prefers.

"She's a mommy's girl," Bethenny told SheKnows. "I thought she would be a daddy's girl, but she's a mommy's girl, which I love."

But her word choice isn't the only clue of her special bond with Bethenny -- Bryn's culinary curiosity jives with her master chef mother.

"She eats everything and since that's one of my passions, I find it fun," said Bethenny. "Her favorite food is Mediterranean. She eats grape leaves, artichoke pesto, mango cilantro salsa, baba ganoush. Just this week she had Indian food and Thai food."

Their next meal trial will be meatballs. Bethenny told SheKnows that she and Bryn plan on taking daddy Jason to a meatball shop for lunch on Sunday.

"We'll walk there to have lunch and then walk back," said Bethenny. "We'll probably stop and get ice cream and walk around and explore the city. It's what we do every weekend."

And their little family will likely have another tour buddy in the near future.

"We're preparing," Bethenny told SheKnows of the couple's plans for a second baby. "I want another girl."

Looks like Jason is going to be outnumbered!

Bethenny is Bryn walking yet, and has she said "Daddy"? I hope she has because Jason is such a caring and loving father. I hope he is not hurt that Bryn is such a Mommy's girl...I hope the two of you are blessed with a second baby but I pray it is a boy for Jason's sake.
