A few days ago, the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alum took to Instagram with a clip of baby Ava sitting across her father's stomach and adorably sucking a thumb.

"She just smiles and connects all the time. She’s got two crazy older brothers that love her. She’s just a little sweetheart."

In no time, the tiny tot's eyelids start to droop. Soon enough, Ava gives in to the urge and falls slowly to Alfonso's chest. The camera pans to the actor's face, and his look is one of pure delight. Honestly, the video is too cute for words!

Dishing more details about their only daughter’s addition to their home, Alfonso told PEOPLE in September:

"She’s a really happy baby. She just smiles and connects all the time. She’s got two crazy older brothers that love her. She’s just a little sweetheart. There’s a lot of love in our house."

Ava is the third child for Alfonso and Angela who also shares sons AJ, six, and Anders, Four. The "Dancing With The Stars" winning alum also has a 17-year-old daughter, Sienna, from his first marriage to actress Robin Stapler.

Alfonso and Robin were married from 2002 to 2006. He and Angela tied the knot six years later on October 13 after a three-month-long engagement.
