Carousel rides are the best part of carnivals (well, that and the funnel cakes!), and Kaley Cuoco’s daughter Matilda “Tildy” Carmine got to experience one for the first time on Thursday. The Big Bang Theory star shared the cutest video of her daughter’s reaction to the ride, and she looks so cute with her wide-eyed expression.

“Her first horse/carousel ride,” Cuoco wrote on her Instagram story. “The wave at the end I can’t,” she added. In the video, Tildy is riding on her dad Tom Pelphrey’s lap as they sit on a carousel horse together. The baby, who turns 1 tomorrow, is wearing a cute pink-and-white striped shirt as she looks around with her beautiful big eyes. When she spots her mom, she locks eyes with her, raising her arm for a cute little wave. She is so adorable!

Cuoco shared a group selfie after the carousel, where she smiled in a mirror wearing a black shirt and jeans. Pelphrey, dressed in a brown hoodie, holds Tildy, who is turned to stare at the carousel she just rode. She doesn’t know what to think of the magic she just experienced!

“Family time,” a sticker over the picture read. The Role Play star shared another family selfie, this time with her and the Love & Death star pointing at the mirror to get Tildy’s attention. It worked — and she looks just as awestruck (and a little confused) as ever.

In another snap, Tildy gazes up at her dad with an expression of pure love. A different picture captures the trio again, this time with Tildy waving at the camera. “She loves to wave,” Cuoco wrote. What an absolute cutie.

Earlier this week, the Oh Norman! founder posted a selfie with her and Tildy in matching white t-shirts. “Twinning,” she said in a sticker over the photo, where Tildy looks like her mini me with the same hazel eyes, dirty blonde hair, and pouty face.

But even though she looks like her mom, Tildy is a total daddy’s girl. In a January interview with PEOPLE, Cuoco gushed that Pelphrey is the “apple” of Tildy’s eye. She explained, “Whenever he walks in the room, she only wants to be with him. She is a total daddy’s girl.”

And Pelphrey feels the same way. “He loves her more than anything in the world,” Cuoco gushed.

“I love her so much, I really do,” Cuoco added. “She is very funny. I think selfishly what I love the most is she finds me hilarious. I think she’s my best audience. I never had more laughs than I do in our house with this baby. And I used to feel like I got a lotta laughs, but now with her, I am her 24/7 clown entertainment, and I love nothing more.”

These celeb families wouldn’t be complete without their furry friends.
