Since she hasn’t mastered speech yet, Isabella Damon, 13 months,communicates by crowing, according to dad Matt. TheBourne Ultimatum star says his daughter constantly crows and laughs,which makes it a tad difficult for him to understand her at times.

Well, right now, she kind of sounds like a crow. She kind of goes like [makes funny crow caw sound twice].Like that. And she points at things. And this morning, like she pointedat the ceiling, and there was nothing on the ceiling. And she just went[makes crow sound] like that. And I was like, ‘Well, that’s theceiling.’ And she went [he does a silly laugh]. And I was like, ‘I don’tknow what’s funny about that.’

So I’m trying to figure out what’s goingon in her head. Sometimes she just has these things that I just have noidea what she’s thinking. So I’m working on that.

Ben Affleck got a six-month headstart on Matt Damon in the fatherhooddepartment. So when Matt welcomed Isabella in June 2006, Ben wasall prepared to offer parenting advice.

He marched into our house one day, plopped this toy down and said, ‘This works.’ He turned around and walked out.

Matt, 36, says fatherhood has definitely changed him for the better andis glad he waited to start a family as he "wasn’t ready in my 20s."Now, he says, it all makes sense.

You find this feeling that you’ve never had before. There are great moments, and it keeps getting better as she gets older.

Asked if he and wife Luciana are planning to add to their brood, whichalso includes Luciana’s daughter Alexia, 9, from her previous marriage,the Bourne Ultimatum star jokes,

We’re not planning on following Brad and Angie’s record-setting pace.

David Arquette — father of one, David Arquette has been a dedicated father since the beginning. Daughter Coco Riley, 3, with Courteney Cox-Arquette, is the light of his life:

Thereare so many things I wish I could put into words on how much I love mydaughter. Just to be able to say ‘my daughter’ is enough to make mebreak down. I look at her, and she just has no idea how much of amiracle she is. I live for the nights when she wakes up, and Courteneywill bring her into our bedroom, and she’ll lay her down between us…Imean, there’s nothing…there isn’t anywhere I would rather be then withmy wife who I love more than the stars, with the child we’ve madetogether sleeping between us.

Hello Magazine has some new photos of Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso with their children Isabella, 11 months, and Alexia, 8, (Luciana’s daughter from a previous relationship) visiting pal George Clooney in Lake Como, Italy on Wednesday.In December, Matt had this to say about his experience thus far with fatherhood:

I feel I got made a member of a club that I didn’t know existed. I didn’t think this would happen to me…I was excited for her to start talking and walking and toddling around hanging out, but I didn’t realize how much personality little people have right off the bat. So it’s just been fun.

A lot has changed since the 2001 release of Ocean’s Eleven, namely morechildren around on the set of Ocean’s Thirteen, which hits theatersJune 8. The cast reminisces on the changing times and how more of themcan now bond over sleep deprivation and diapers. Andy Garcia remarksthat on the first film, only he and Don Cheadle had children.

Now we see each other and go, ‘So how ya doin’? How’s the sleep coming along?’

Andy and his wife Marivi have four kids, Dominik, 22, Daniella, 19,Alessandra, 15, and Andres, 5. Don and his longtime girlfriend BrigidCoulter have two daughters, Ayana, 12, and Imani, 10. The newestmembers of the fatherhood club are, of course, Matt Damon, who hasdaughter Isabella, 11 1/2 months, and Brad Pitt, father to Maddox, 5,Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1 on Sunday. Brad says,

I knew something had changed when Matt asked me in passing if I had any extra diapers — No. 1s, ‘You got a 1?’

Some things never change though – George Clooney is still the perennialbachelor, who jokes that he asks for a No. 2 and has taken a paternitytest, for, what his co-stars say, his supposed third child after not claiming the first two.

I’m still…in the paternity test. I counted the months, and it’s been like nine months, so I figure I’m clean.

Marcia Cross recently ordered and was gifted with a variety of Graco products just before the birth of her twin daughters with husband, Tom Mahoney. The girls, Eden and Savannah, were born last month in LA.

At the pre-Golden Globes event Boom Boom Room Marcia requested the Graco Infant SafeSeat in central park ($199). Other celebrities that love the Graco car seats are Matt Damon and wife, Luciana, who have the Graco Snugride for the daughter Isabella, Adam Sandler and wife, Jackie, who use the Graco Snugride in metropolitan for Sadie, Kingston Rossdale has the Graco SafeSeat in mosaic and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has ridden in the same car seat as Marcia’s twins, but the heirloom pattern. Graco car seats range from about $80 to $250 and come highly recommended, with them now having SIP (side impact protection). In terms of the top of the range safe car seats, along with the Graco car seats are the ones by Peg Perego specifically the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Infant Car Seat ($220), which Danielle uses for Anya.

Marcia was also gifted with the Graco Pack ‘n Play Playard ($199). This item is so handy. It can be used as a double bassinet for twins and alternatively a portable play pen. It is lined with soft padding and has wheels for easy transportation around the house. It also comes with a handy carry bag so Marcia and Tom can pack it up and take it away with them, or to the set of Desperate Housewives.

Additionally, Marcia was also gifted with Graco’s Quattro Tour Duo Stroller in rittenhouse ($250). This stroller can hold a toddler up to 50 pounds, in the front seat, it has a lots of storage space and a snack and cup holder for the front passenger. Additionally, any of the SnugRide or SafeSeats can be attached to the stroller, facing either forwards or towards the driver. And the feature we think most moms (and dads) will love? It folds with one hand and the push of a button.

Graco also recently launched a new stroller, BE FRUITFUL, to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

Matt Damon took some time from talking about his new movie, The Good Shepherd, on Friday to talk about another new role he has taken on recently, being a father to six month old Isabella. 

Isabella loves raspberries and he loves giving them to her! Right on her belly!  He explained, "You do this thing where you can either give her (a raspberry) on the stomach or if you sort of act like you’re going to munch her underarm, and she laughs like a little machine gun. And it’s like I could do it forever."

Isabella is only 6 months old, but she’s already given her Dad the gift of membership to that special club called parenthood.  He says, “It’s great, great. That’s been just amazing…it defies description, actually. I don’t really know how to talk about it because I don’t really know – I feel like I got made a member of a club that I didn’t know existed."

He admitted that he didn’t think he would enjoy it as much as he does.  He said, "I didn’t think that this would happen to me.  Other people were always showing me baby pictures or trying to hand me the baby, and I was like, ‘Get that thing away from me. I don’t want to touch your kid. Give me a break.’ But I’m totally into it now."

Matt said he was looking forward to her being 2 years old, when he thought she’d be full of personality, but she already does:"I was excited for her to start talking and walking and toddling around, hanging out,I didn’t realize how much personality little people have right off the bat. So it’s just been fun."

Isabella has a big sister, Alexis, 8.  Alexis is from their mother Luciana’s previous marriage.
