PEOPLE How cute is little Kaya Evdokia?!
New mom Hayden Panettiere proudly introduces her newborn daughter in the Jan. 12 issue of People, on newsstands today. The Nashville actress, 25, and her fiancé, boxer Wladimir Klitschko, 38, welcomed their first child together on Dec. 9. At the time of her birth, the couple's daughter weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz.
"She's a great baby...as long as her bottomless pit of a stomach is fed," Panettiere jokes.
It's evident that Kaya inherited her parents' good looks. "She's an amazing combination of both of us," says Panettiere, who is 18 inches shorter than the 6-foot-6 heavyweight champion. "I look at her and say, 'Oh, she has my ears!' And he goes, 'Oh, she better be tall because she's got my hands and feet.'"

Panettiere recently cooed to People.com about her firstborn daughter's personality and also opened up about motherhood. "She's really so sweet," the Heroes star gushed. "I'm sure that's the way it's meant to be, because when they are putting you through the ringer you're like, 'You are so lucky you're cute!'"
Adjusting to parenthood has been "such a surreal experience and so out of body," Panettiere added. "You're suddenly looking at this little thing like, 'Oh, that was you in my belly this whole time.' [We're] just getting to know her." Recovering from labor has been interesting, too. "I'm limping around. I'm still trying to figure out what [pregnancy] has done to my body, how it's changed it, what's temporary and what's permanent. I feel like an 80-year-old woman trying to go down the stairs, you know?" the bride-to-be joked. "Please tell me this is temporary. But I know some things will never be the same again."
