He watched Daddy play in the Super Bowl. Now, baby Hank Baskett IV is off to meet Mommy’s famous ex at the Playboy Mansion.
Continuing his busy first few months of life, baby Baskett will get to meet Hugh Hefner, the legendary Playboy founder, on Monday during a trip with mom Kendra Wilkinson to the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
“Lil Hank gets to meet him today!! So excited!” Wilkinson tweeted on Monday morning.
Wilkinson lived at the mansion as one of Hefner’s girlfriends from 2004 until 2009. Much of her life there was documented in the E! reality show The Girls Next Door.
Wilkinson, 24, and Hefner, 83, split amicably when Wilkinson met the NFL player Hank Baskett. She gave birth to baby Hank in December.
When Hefner learned last June that Wilkinson was pregnant, he told PEOPLE he was happy for her, and said of Baskett: “I think he’s a good guy and they’ll be good for one another.”

Kendra Wilkinson might have that laugh and will most likely be remembered as one of the more annoying former Hefner gals, but she’s come a long way. After having her baby, she seems much more grounded and happy than she was before. There’s one thing that’s bothering her, though: her breasts.
Kendra’s interview with the tabs led to stories in both Life & Style and In Touch Weekly, in which she said that her breasts were too large now that she’s breastfeeding.
In the interviews, Kendra mentioned going under the knife to reduce her breasts.
“I’d definitely consider getting my boobs redone after breast-feeding,” she told Life & Style. “They’re a little too big now. I’ve considered getting a breast reduction.”
In her interview with In Touch, she gave us even more details, saying “I went from a 34C to an E. I had never even heard of that in my life. I’m on the E! Network, and I’m an E cup.”
Even though we’ve seen Kendra don some pretty skimpy ensembles for her past Playboy work and “modeling” gigs, she admitted that she won’t drop her clothes in the future.
“If I were asked, it’d be a hard decision, but I’d lean toward no,” Kendra told Life & Style. “The Playboy chapter of my life is now closed. I would definitely model, but I don’t think I would pose nude. I’m on to the next chapter of being a mom and a wife.”

Never mind the fact that Kendra Wilkinson’s rocking a bikini on the cover of OK! after giving birth only eight weeks ago…we can’t get over how cute baby Hank is!
And while the mag talks about how she lost “around 25 pounds,” we don’t really care about the diet tips as much as we love seeing more pics of Hank Jr.!
And there are more adorable pics of the twosome inside the mag sticking their tongues out at each other.
Aww.
Anyway, if you want her fitness tips, she’s doing “45 minutes of hardcore training and weightlifting” followed by the treadmill until she’s tired.
And she’s also been doing lots of squats and lunges to try get a butt like Kim Kardashian’s.
“She can be my motivation to try and get the best booty in Hollywood!” Kendra tells the mag.
We still care more about the baby than the butt exercises, though. You?

If Hank Baskett’s team, the Indianapolis Colts, wins Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIV in Miami – there’s no keeping his wife Kendra Wilkinson off the field.
“I’m told only two people per player are allowed on the field after the game,” Wilkinson tells PEOPLE at party she hosted Friday night at Seminole Hard Rock Casino’s Passions club near Miami. “His dad and I will run out there, and I will jump in my husband’s lap while grandma stays behind and holds little Hank!”
Glowing in tight white jeans, the reality star could barely contain her excitement over her Super Bowl plan, jumping up and down as she talked of game day. Wilkinson plans to watch from a box with her son Hank Baskett IV, 2 months, and her mother, Patti.
In addition to his Colts jersey, she says, “Little Hank will be wearing earphones so the noise doesn’t overwhelm him.” Says Wilkinson: “I love every minute of every day I spend with him because he is constantly changing. He focuses on me and likes to imitate what I say and do.”
For example, if Wilkinson, who is filming the weekend for her new reality show which begins in March, says “mommy,” her son moves his mouth to try and form the word. “Our little boy is beyond cute,” she says. “It won’t be long before he talks.”
And his grandma, Patti Wilkinson, agrees. She flew to the Sunshine State from San Diego for some family time. “I have not spent any time with little Hank until yesterday,” Patti says. “I am so thrilled to be able to play with him. He is already a heavy little thing. I think he will be a football player someday!”
Wilkinson and Baskett, who is the Colts’s wide receiver, are planning to take their son to the San Diego-Los Angeles area during the off-season.
“We will head back to California and wait to see where Hank plays next season,” Wilkinson tells PEOPLE, noting that they’ve been in Indianapolis less than a year. “It will be good because grandma can see her little darling more often. The baby has enriched all of our lives.”

Bridget Marquardt may be one of Kendra Wilkinson’s best gal-pals, but that doesn’t mean she’s rooting for Hank Baskett and the Colts during this weekend’s Super Bowl.
Bridget tells us she’s Team Saints…
“I think it would be amazing for New Orleans to win the Super Bowl,” Bridget told us last night at Svedka Vodka’s Adult Playground 2033 Event Series hosted by nightlife impresaria Allison Melnick and Perez Hilton at Hollywood’s Playhouse nightclub. “I’m really on the fence with it, because of course I want the best for Hank and Kendra, but I really do think it’d be amazing for the Saints to win!”
Fortunately, Bridget’s Saints support comes from a good place. “I’m not really partial to New Orleans, but I feel like we haven’t done enough over there to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina,” she said. “It’s really important…I feel like we’ve done so much for Haiti, but not enough for New Orleans.”

Two of the former Girls Next Door stars are already managing their own shows: Bridget Marquardt has Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches, while Kendra Wilkinson has Kendra. Now, it’s time for Hugh Hefner’s #1 to get the spotlight. With her steady and successful Vegas performances, surely Holly Madison will find it easy to return to reality TV.
Since E! has already premiered a sneak peek of Holly’s World and found out that it was met with applause from fans, it’s no surprise that they’re pushing through with more episodes. The launch occurred last December, but the actual reality series will air in the summer of 2010.
Holly’s World, as we expected, will revolve around Holly Madison’s new life outside of the Playboy Mansion. Just like in Kendra, we’ll be following this star of the original Girls Next Door as she navigates life. But what’s more exciting is that this will all take place in Sin City, where Madison appears on the burlesque act Peepshow.
According to E! Online, the first season of this upcoming series will have eight episodes and will air later this year. It will be produced by Kevin Burns, who is also responsible for The Girls Next Door and Kendra.
As for more details on Holly’s World, it’s going to be about the former #1 of Hef as “she lives, works and plays in her new home in Las Vegas.” Some of the episodes lined up involve Holly shooting her pinup calendar in Mexico, and even meeting Las Vegas mayor Oscar B. Goodman.
It looks like the fans of the original Girls Next Door series will be ecstatic about this, seeing as how the new batch of Hef’s ladies isn’t as popular. With Kendra and Holly’s World set for the network, things can only get better. Now, let’s just wait for the trio’s reunion to finally happen.
— So the question is, will all you fans be watching? I will most defiantly tune in! I am excited and cannot wait for it!

Hank Randall Baskett IV is making his big debut! Kendra Wilkinson introduces her first child with Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Hank Baskett in the latest issue of OK!, on newsstands Thursday.
Photographed in the hospital at two days old, baby Hank “has so much hair,” Kendra, 24, exclaims. “He definitely takes after me with that. And he has Hank’s lips. He looks like both of us.”
For additional photos and the full interview, pick up the latest issue of OK!, available in major cities today.
Congratulations! How are you feeling?
Kendra Wilkinson: Thanks. I have labor brain. I forgot everything that happened.
Hank Baskett: I am in straight awe, trust me.
How did you prepare for coming to the hospital?
KW: The good thing about being induced is that it’s like planning a trip, just very calm. We ate a huge dinner before we came to the hospital. I ate a whole batch of brownies because I was nervous. No wonder he’s 9 pounds!
What happened at the hospital?
KW: I was induced early in the morning; then it was wait, wait, wait. I was experiencing contractions throughout the day, and I was anxious. I kept checking the monitor every second, like, “Is it happening yet?”
Everything was going perfectly. Everything I ever dreamed of: snow for his birthday, all the family was here. I was set on having him [vaginally], but after hours of waiting, nothing. Finally, the doctor said, “We’re going to have to do a c-section.” I just started crying. Then my whole family cheered me up. I was like, “All right. Let’s just get this done.”
Hank, how did you handle the news?
HB: It was rough. I know how bad Kendra wanted to deliver naturally, and it hit her hard. But she knew that whatever the doctor said was best for her and the baby. Once she realized that, she was like, “Let’s move it up. Let’s get it over with.”
How did the actual delivery go?
KW: Every second I was like, “Is he okay? Is he okay?” And finally I hear Hank go, “Here he comes! I see his head!” That was the best thing I’ve ever heard. He comes out, and I hear his little cry, and the doctor’s like, “Nine pounds, 5 ounces. He’s a linebacker! This boy’s a linebacker!”
How was holding him for the first time?
KW: I just started crying. I was like, “Oh my God, it’s the happiest day of my life!” I was just in heaven.
HB: I was as nervous as I could be holding him, because I’ve never really held a newborn before.
What were your first words to him?
KW: Happy birthday, Hank.
HB: I just said, “I love you so much.” I couldn’t stop saying, “I love you.”
How are you recovering?
KW: I’m still really sore and healing from the c-section. That’s the only thing that stinks: I can’t really do my mama things ; changing him, getting the bottle ready. I need help because I can’t go that fast.
