Kaley Cuoco has shared a video showing the heartwarming moment her baby daughter says "mama" for the very first time.

Many of us had a lot to be thankful for over this Thanksgiving Weekend, as we gathered with family and loved ones to consume far too much dry turkey and indulge in not enough carb-loaded sides.

However, it would seem that new mom Kaley Cuoco has plenty to be thankful for, as she was lucky enough to capture a huge milestone for her baby daughter on camera.

The 37-year-old Big Bang Theory star welcomed baby Matilda back in March this year with her husband and Ozark star Tom Pelphrey, 41, after sharing their pregnancy news in October 2022.

And taking to her Instagram Stories over Thanksgiving Weekend, the 8 Simple Rules actress shared what appeared to be an ordinary video showing baby Matilda sitting on her mom's lap.

Cuoco - sporting a blue t-shirt, effortlessly messy hair, and glasses - can be seen turning away from the camera while her daughter plays with what appears to be a belt. However, Cuoco's head quickly darts forward when Matilda starts babbling "mama". Check out the sweet video below:

The touching moment clearly meant a lot to Cuoco, and her expression really shows just how important these milestones are for parents. "Mama! What? You just said Mama," the actress says. "What was that!?"

Speaking to PEOPLE earlier this year, the star opened up about how Pelphrey has taken to being a father, saying: "I cannot believe how natural he is, how much he loves it."

"I mean, when we were in the hospital, he did everything — every diaper, he's the swaddle king," she continued. "All the nurses said, 'Oh my God, you're the best guy swaddler we've ever seen.'"

She went on to say that Matilda, "looks exactly like him. And he has a very distinct voice, so when he talks to her, she's like 360. Her head turns around, and she's like, 'I know that voice.' It's very sweet."

Parenthood is something that Cuoco has proudly gushed over on social media several times since she welcomed her daughter.

In a touching Mother's Day post - her first Mother's day since welcoming her daughter - Cuoco shared another heartwarming video with her daughter. Check out the video below:

"Did you make me a mommy? Is it Mommy's Day? Thank you for making me a mommy," she says. "I love you! You have a milk mustache."

Cuoco has also revealed the impulsive moment she and her husband decided on the name "Matilda".

In an interview with TODAY, Cuoco revealed that the idea clicked when they overheard somebody shout the name. "We looked at each other and it was like, ‘Would it be crazy to say if we had a baby we’d name her Matilda?’" she recalled "You know when you first start dating and you’re so obsessed, and you’re planning your future children? It was that sort of thing."

Congratulations to Kaley for being able to capture this new wonderful moment on camera!
