Gabrielle Union may be the host of America's Got Talent, but it seems she's not the only one with moves. On Wednesday, Union shared a video of her 10-month-old daughter dancing, and by the looks of it, Kaavia James will be taking the stage soon.

In the video, Union—who is wearing a gorgeous black and silver zebra-print dress—can be seen chanting "Oh! Get it! Yes, get it! Dance! The show's coming on. Get hyped" while little Kaavia bounces on her lap.

Union captioned the video "Get on her level!!! @kaaviajames is HYPED for #agt."

But the best part? Kaavia's toothy grin. Seriously. This sweet little girl isn't just hyped, she is proud. In addition, Union took to Instagram to later post a sweet photo of little Kaavia wearing mom's wig from her latest America's Got Talent appearance. Is there anything she can't do?

Kaavia is the first child for Union and husband Dwayne Wade. She was born via surrogate in November 2018, after years of unsuccessful infertility treatments. During an interview with Oprah, Union revealed she felt her inability to carry a child was her fault.

"Did I miss—did I fail in some kind of way," Union wondered on a 2018 special Oprah at Home with Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade & Their New Baby. "Did I—am I defective in some kind of deep, you know, just—am I defective in some kind of way? Am I less than in some kind of way? Am I less worthy in some kind of way?"

But with the help of her husband, Union was able to let this mentality go.

"I'm watching her do things to her body and to herself that it's getting to the point where it's not healthy," Wade told Oprah. "And as I always told her: 'I want this baby just as much as you do, but I married you, and you are the most important thing to me... I want our miracle baby, but I want you.'

The pair began exploring the world of surrogacy.

On Mother's Day, Union shared just how special Kaavia is. “I’ve cried so many times today for so many reasons, mainly because I’d gotten accustomed to heartbreak and disappointment," Union wrote in a post on Instagram. “I think a lot of us live in that space. I set up shop there. This moment reminded me that miracles do happen."

Union's words were accompanied by a picture of the first time Union and Wade saw Kaavia.

She also used the occasion to remind others they are not alone. "You can’t age out of joy. You are worthy. You are worthy. You are worthy," Union wrote. "Sending so much love today to all the mamas, stepmamas, grandmas, aunties real and play, daddies, friends and anyone who has taken the time to nurture another living soul. I see you, I gotchu.”
