She's only 7 weeks old, but the daughter of David Alan Basche and Sideways actress Alysia Reiner is already following in her parents' footsteps. "She knows how to mess up that diaper right on cue," David, 40, tells Life & Style about his baby girl, Livia Charles Basche. "She has perfect comedic timing, just like her mom."

In fact, timing was everything when it came to Livia's birth, as Life & Style learned during a recent visit to the couple's NYC home.

"We made it to the birthing center just in time," says Alysia, 38, describing their Dec. 5 ride in rush-hour traffic. "I went into labor at 2:45 p.m. and gave birth at 5:14. She came so quickly. I was very, very lucky."

Indeed, the 7-pound, 20½-inch infant arrived so rapidly, there was no time for daddy jitters. "I think it happened too fast for me to be a basket case," says David, who stars on USA's The Starter Wife. "I'm a little bit of a basket case now."
