Kaley Cuoco can't stop talking about her adorable baby daughter!
On Thursday, the actress attended a special screening of her new Prime Video movie Role Play and opened up on the red carpet about her 9-month-old daughter Matilda's recent milestones.
When asked what she loved most about being a mom right now, Cuoco quipped, “Um, that I’m here without her.”
The new mom then switched gears and gushed about how great her growing family is.

“I love her so much, I really do,” the Young Sheldon actress told PEOPLE. “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.”
Cuoco also dished on Matilda's “adorable” first Christmas.
“It was so fun! I bought her way too many presents that she didn’t even know how to open, and didn’t understand what was happening, but it made me happy, and I have 80,000 photos to show her in the future. “
Speaking of her “fantastic” partner Tom Pelphrey, Cuoco said he’s the “apple” of Matilda's eye.

“Whenever he walks in the room, she only wants to be with him. She is a total daddy’s girl.”
She continued talking about her “incredible” beau, sharing that the couple didn’t have anyone to help watch their baby girl for Cuoco’s premiere night, “so he stayed home with her so I could be here.”
“He loves her more than anything in the world.”

In early January, the actress shared photos to her Instagram Story of her daughter, first posing with her eyes wide and her hair slicked down as she stared at something out of frame.
In another shot, Matilda smiled at the camera, with her tongue slightly sticking out as she donned an excited expression.
Last month, the actress opened up about how mom life has made her more in tune with her emotions.
"Tom and I were sitting with Matilda the other day, and she was literally staring at us, and she touched both of our faces, and just gave us this innocent, just really joyful, 'Hi' smile," Cuoco told PEOPLE.
"I mean, I could cry right now," she continued. "We both looked at each other and we started tearing up. He goes, 'Is this our life now, where we just cry at everything she does?' "
In November, the Big Bang Theory alum shared a sweet video on her Instagram Story to kick off the holidays — her daughter's first Thanksgiving.
Cuoco sat with Matilda on her lap, repeating the word "mama" as the infant giggled and squirmed.
The actress then turned to look at something else for a second, and Matilda said, "Mmmm ... mama mama mama."
In response, the proud mom was completely shocked: "Mama?! What?! You just said Mama! What was that?" and planted kisses all over her baby girl.
