LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kaley Cuoco emphasizes that she wasn't always someone who cried easily.

However, welcoming her 8-month-old daughter Matilda with partner Tom Pelphrey completely shifted that perspective.

In a recent interview with People, Cuoco said, "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."

"I mean, I could cry right now," Cuoco added, "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?'"

The former 'Big Bang Theory' star also recently shared a sweet video on her Instagram Story to kick off the holidays — her daughter's first Thanksgiving.

Cuoco, who next stars in the Prime Video film 'Role Play', sat with Matilda on her lap, repeating the word "mama" as the infant giggled and squirmed.

Cuoco, who introduced her collection of eco-friendly dog products, Oh Norman!, shared in October how her daughter is forming connections with their four rescue dogs - Ruby, Opal, King, and Blue.

"Oh my God, she got thrown to the wolves literally," Cuoco said, "After she was born, I'm like, 'If this child doesn't like dogs, I might have to send her back. There's no choice. This is your life. This is it.'"

She added, "They have jumped on her. They have crawled across her. We have let them lick her, kiss her. Our pediatrician was like, 'It's okay.' So they love her so much."
