Since giving birth in May, reality star Bethenny Frankel says her 2-month-old daughter Bryn is "the perfect baby" -- even though she's starting to pull her mom's hair!
"She's absolutely beautiful and so she's so sweet," Frankel, 39, told UsMagazine.com at the GLAAD Summer Rooftop event in NYC. "She's a doll -- like you opened up a box and a doll came out."
And though the new mom is reveling in Bryn's latest milestones -- she's "giggling, smiling and making lots of noises right now" -- the Bravo star isn't in any rush to add to her brood.

"Jason wants to have one more," she tells Us of her husband's plans to make Bryn a big sister. "No plans right now, but conversations [are happening]."
For now, Frankel's Real Housewives of New York co-star Alex McCord and her her husband Simon van Kempen say the new parents are doing a fabulous job of raising their daughter.

"We were with them on Sunday and they're still in the coo-coo parent modes and they were loving her," van Kempen told Us.
Added McCord: "She was snuggling on Bethenny's chest. So adorable!"

36Wow, a whole bunch of haters here! Go for it Bethenny, I am sure Bryn would love a brother or sister as only children always wish they would have had a sibling!
please don't have another baby...there are enough precious children with self-absorbed mothers being raised by Nannies...
she likes to abuse her husband and everyone around her.
August 08, 2010 - 2:05pm Dani Says: I love Bethenny and her show. I don't agree with many of the comments here. Bethenny was already set to film her show before she decided to marry and found out she was pregnant. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks so much for your edification. Please post as LINK to the copy of her CONTRACT with Bravo, since you profess knowledge of when it was signed. Please STOP being one of the mindless lemmings who idolize this pathological liar. You know NOTHING about her except the concocted image she has sold you on a scripted tv show. Everything about her (including the low-level salesman husband whom she lied about and first tried to pass off as a "REAL ESTATE GURU," who married her so he could finally make some real money) is STAGED. Why are you so desperate to try to feel like you are "best friends" with someone you dont even know, this horrible excuse for a mother who has treated her OWN mother like dirt just to advance her carefully crafted "poor me" tv persona. Of COURSE she will have another baby or do anything else it takes to keep her Quagmire-looking square-jawed face in front of a camera. She's demented.
I love Bethenny and her show. I don't agree with many of the comments here. Bethenny was already set to film her show before she decided to marry and found out she was pregnant. I think it is wonderful that she allows us into her life. I hope they do have another baby as an only child I always wanted a brother or sister. Betheny we love you.
Baby is adorable and Bethenny and Jason, you guys are great! By the way I think your assistant might be on the other side ;)
she'll get knocked up to stay in the press. that's what she did the first time. how pathetic.
@Kalm94: I definitely agree with your resonse, this is all in God's hands, not yours or anyone else. If Bethenny, so choses, to have a second child at whatever time, now or 10 years from now, it will all work out according to her time. @Kate: My sister is in her mid-thirties, and she is on her way to having her fourth child, all under the ago of five. People may perceed her as a "baby machine" but she has three beautiful children, that I wouldnt replace if you asked me too. Who cares when you have your child. All of your child will be loved and have the same devotion towards them as their siblings. It is the PARENTS job to insure that each child knows that are loved, and by that its called "being parents."
@ kate : you may work in the medical field for a LONG time but how long have you known Jesus? have you ever read in the bible where Elizabeth was pregnant when she was almost 100 years old ? smh ! If God's plans for Bethany concerns a child, then it will happen, not when doctors or scientists think it should happen according to biology.
In response to ......... comments on my post, no, I am not 12. I have worked in the medical field all of my adult life, and have two adult children. The average age for a woman to go through menopause is 45-55, and my comment was that if Bethenny wants a second baby, she will be in for a bumpy ride with 2 little ones or young teens, with her anxiety issues,along with the hormonal changes of menopause. I remarked that this would make some show! Obviously you're defensive, and probably had a little "whoops" in your famiy planning, resulting in children very close in age, and getting the stares from people who look at you like you're a "breeder," or maybe you yourself have a sibling born very close to you to whom you are harboring feelings of resentment left over from childhood. Who knows? Each child needs to have sufficient time in their first few years of life in order to not feel pushed aside by another sibling coming along too soon. Proper family planning can avoid many issues for parents and children, both financially and psychologically. Anyway, unless you have a live in nurse, who would want two children in diapers at the same time?? Just my personal opinion, but I've heard too many times the regret of women who haven't spaced their children, and in the process, amidst their complaints of having "lost themselves."
Such few comments on this article. It used to be an article about Bethenny would get lots of attention. I wish her and Jason the BEST! I hope they do have another child, and they have saved money and can make it w/out the big TV paychecks that go along with celebrity. I think it's getting to be the end of the 15 minutes. Bethenny has become almost too polished lately and too diplomatic in her TV appearances. That's not the persona most of us fell in love with. If she becomes boring and predictable and well-adjusted, then she'll be like every other pretty face. I hope she can balance being a mom and a wife with the zaniness and outspoken nature that's given her so much opportunity. Jason is rather boring, although very nice and loving. But, that personality won't pay for the great condo and all the fixings!
I want her to get pregnant again. Maybe one girl and one boy for her.
she is such a famewh*re!
AWESOME to hear! I love Bethenny!
@Kate, are you 12 or just not so smart? She's only 40, most women don't start menopause until their 50's, which is why dr's tell you that you can't stop using birth control or you could always get pregnant. It's her life and if she wants to have another one then so what. You want someone telling you when to have kids? yea, I didn't think so. And there are a ton of "Irish Twins" out there in the world, born 9 months apart and doing just fine.
Are you all kidding me? She looks fantastic for her age. I'm 10 years younger and I wish I looked like her. She's not a fame W#@%$ she is a very real pereson unlike most of the people on tv. I love watching her on tv because I can completely relate to her and her emotions.
Man, this woman is fugly!
Bethenny, you are sickening already! I agree with commentators when they say she would only have another child if it meant keeping herself in the spotlight. You are a disgusting fame-w*@#% with nothing of value to offer. I think she realizes that if she didn't fame w*#$@ herself out, she would be worth nothing. How come there is not one photo of her and the metro husband strolling in the city with their little baby, just spending quality time. You see that with other stars all the time...Oh, that's right she's a pseudo celebrity with delusions of grandeur. She is very lucky that there are stupid, immature, weak-minded people that fall for this "cult of personality" nonsense. Her talent is being "real" to the point of ad nauseam.
JASON AND BETHENNY: WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, YOU WILL SURELY LET US KNOW. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP MULTIPLYING. YOU TWO MAKE THE MOST GORGEOUS BABIES. LOVE YOU GUYS @ BGM. ROOTIN' & TOOTIN'
Wow, all of you haters are pathetic.
