Chris Pratt says his daughter’s upcoming first birthday party will “celebrate” the tot and her mother, Katherine Schwarzenegger.
The 42-year-old actor and his wife Katherine will mark 12 months since their daughter, Lyla Marie, was born in August, and plan to hold a small “family party” to celebrate the special occasion.
Speaking to ‘Access Hollywood’, he said: "[We will] throw a party, a family party. The people who will be at the family party I see all the time so we're just gonna celebrate [Lyla]. It'll be more about us than her because she's not gonna really know what's going on at one year old but we'll make it about her mom."
Last month, the ‘Tomorrow War’ star opened up about the “special time” he spends with his daughter every morning before he goes to work.
He said: "She's such a little wiggle worm. The 20 minutes before I go to work is like our special time. And we sit out on this little chair or this little couch thing on the balcony, in front of the fireplace and there's this little heater, and we have our time together. It's like kid time. She's always wiggling around and you have to distract her with the toy. She doesn't want to just cuddle yet."
Lyla is currently teething, and the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star – who is also father to eight-year-old son Jack, whom he has with his ex-wife Anna Faris – has been soothing her discomfort with the help of a “little rubber comb” that the youngster likes to chew on.
He added to People magazine: "There's this little rubber comb thing that she chews on, it helps soothe her gums. I just started brushing her hair with it. And I realized like, 'Oh, she's going to love to go to the spa when she grows.' I could see her just relax into my lap. It's kind of the first time in her life that I've ever been able to just have her really relaxing on my lap. I combed her hair for like 15 straight minutes. The only other time she's really ever done that is when she's peeing on me. So she'll like zone out and I'm like, 'There you go there, there you go calming down. Okay, you're peeing, that's why you stopped wiggling.' And so we had a really nice moment this morning."
