Shemar Moore is loving life as a father, and his 6-month-old child is a total Daddy's girl.

The proud father is constantly celebrating his daughter's milestones with fans, and they weren't left out of the latest, which he says has made his life complete.

Shemar Moore Shares Clip Of Baby Frankie's First Word

The "S.W.A.T" star captured the super-cuteness of his kid speaking on camera for the first time and shared the video with his 4.3 million Instagram followers earlier this week.

Moore is just out of sight in the post, cooing over Frankie, who Dizon is holding. He stimulates the little one, wearing a pink onesie, to say "Dada," but she instead lets out some cute noises.

However, after a few failed attempts, baby Frankie touched her dad's face and blurted out the word he was waiting for, nudging a joyful scream from both parents. The "Butter" actor had a sweet caption to go with his heartwarming video that read:

"I'm officially a DA DA!!! My life is complete!! Friends, family, Jesiree, and Daddy's lil Miracle… Frankie Muthaf***n Moore… I love you, Jesiree… thank you!!! I love you all!!!!!"

"What an absolute blessing!!! Your mom is looking down and smiling big for this," a fourth fan wrote. A fifth admirer shared, "This literally made me cry!!!! Priceless moment you'll never forget!! Blessings to you all!! ?? ? ?."

Not too long ago, The Blast reported that the father and daughter duo mirrored each other. The N.A.A.C.P. Image Awards winner took to his social media to share an exhilarating side-by-side snap of himself and his cuddly little girl and a solo shot of Frankie wearing her grandmother's straw hat and blue onesie.

In contrast to the young one's picture, as seen in the first slide, Moore's photo was from a long time ago. They both posed with heads turned away from the camera and big smiles. 

The post's caption which read, "Frankie and Daddy TWINNING ??…Swipe to see Frankie stealing Grandma Marilyn's hat swag ??," called attention to the similar features he shares with his daughter. And some netizens agreed with the sentiments, however, others believed she looked more like his mom.

The 53-year-old has surely found an angel on Earth in his daughter as Heaven gained one in his mother, Marilyn Joan Wilson-Moore, who passed away about three years. Since the loss, the doting son has ensured to keep her memory alive and fulfilled her desires. 

Per The Blast's previous report, the Santa Clara University alum took his partner and his daughter to his late mom's gravesite and posted an image from the visit on Instagram. 

Fans could view the "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" actor holding a glass of white wine as his little bundle of joy rested in the nook of his other hand. The tombstone was emblazoned with "This house is my son's home."

The note underneath the post partly read, "Shemar, Jesiree, Frankie, and the spirit of Grandma Marilyn….. Mom's dream was for me to become a father and give Momma some grandbabies… it took me a minute, but Momma's dream is now reality!!"

He further cited how he couldn't have dealt with his mom's passing without Dizon and writing, "Jez, I love you and am so grateful… Daddy Loves Frankie… I love and miss you every day, Grandma Marilyn R.I.P. 2/8/20."
