Mel Gibson's baby-mama is gushing over the 8-time father and his "hands-on" approach to their newborn baby girl, Lucia Anne.

"He is ecstatic. He is very much in love with her already," Oksana Grigorieva tells Hello magazine. "She just wins people's hearts, she's so beautiful and tiny."

Oksana also says that Mel is an "incredible" and "hands-on" new dad. Well, he certainly should be, after going through it with seven other kids, he should have had plenty of practice!
