It doesn’t phase Ellen Pompeo that the holidays are over because having daughter Stella in her life makes every day a celebration!

“Every day is like Christmas morning. Every day when I go to her room to get her from her crib, it’s indescribable,” the Grey’s Anatomy actress proudly tells People.

“I thought I was happy before, but she just brings so much joy. She’s such a happy girl.”

The fact that Stella, 15 months, is already walking makes momma both proud and terrified. “She’s got the walking thing down, which is terrifying because the falling thing comes with that of course,” Ellen, 41, says.

We can totally relate!
