Some babies want nothing to do with their parents, but Kaley Cuoco’s baby Matilda “Tildy” Carmine is the biggest snuggle bug. At least, she is with her dad Tom Pelphrey! The Big Bang Theory alum shared the sweetest snaps of her 14-month-old daughter hanging out with her dad, and she is such a little cutie!
“💙Happy Father’s Day💙 to my main man @tommypelphrey , 2 years of being a dad!!” Cuoco wrote on Instagram Sunday. “You were put on this earth to be Matilda’s dada, and no one does it better than you. Our girl lights up when you enter a room, and so do I 💘 we love you forever!”
Tildy is a fashion queen in leopard print pajamas, as she rests on the couch with her dad. Two of the family’s dogs are sitting on Pelphrey’s chest and legs, while Tildy lies next to him, smiling with her hands clasped together. In another photo, the Ozark star holds a newborn Tildy in his hand (!!) as she uses those baby neck muscles to lift her head and stare into her dad’s eyes.
Other photos show Tildy in the middle of a parent sandwich in front of the Minnie Mouse balloon on her first birthday; a photo of Tildy laughing with her tongue sticking out on the couch with her dad; and a picture of Tildy chewing on her hand in her dad’s arms. She’s so happy and content with her daddy!
The Based on a True Story star also shared photos of Tildy with Cuoco’s dad, including one heart-melting picture of Tildy in a pink shirt and extra-wide leg overalls with matching pink shoes and a pink bow, as she walks hand-in-hand with her grandpa. “And to my dad! Thank you for truly being the best there is,” Cuoco wrote. “Endless support and love through all the crazy mistakes and decisions I have made. Thank you for loving me no matter what. 🩵🩵 Tildy loves her grandpa!! @glzdovr”
“Your Tildy must be the happiest baby that I have ever seen on IG,” one person commented. Another wrote, “She loves her daddy, Tildy does!❤️”
The Love & Death star also shared a photo on Father’s Day, revealing the heartwarming gesture Cuoco did for him. “Thank you for baking us a cake for breakfast @kaleycuoco !!!!!” he wrote on his Instagram story. A cake for breakfast?! That sounds like the perfect Father’s Day tradition.
In the photo, he holds Tildy on his lap as they reach for the cake. The table is filled with cards and presents, including one paper with Tildy’s handprints all over it.
Last month, Cuoco told PEOPLE, her daughter’s favorite word. “’Dad, dad,’ everything ‘Dad dad dad dad’… all she says is ‘dad, dada,’” Cuoco said. “It’s her favorite frickin word. I’m like, ‘Do you know the word mama? Have you ever heard it?’ But it’s all ‘Dad. dad. dad.’”
This tracks with what Cuoco revealed in a January interview with PEOPLE, when she called her partner the “apple” of Matilda’s eye. “Whenever he walks in the room, she only wants to be with him,” she said. “She is a total daddy’s girl.”
These celebrity dads have the sweetest bonds with their daughters.
