Is it really that surprising that Giada De Laurentiis's daughter is ridiculously adorable? Maybe not. But it's a blast to watch Jade and her mama, who's a chef and regular TODAY contributor, goof around in the TODAY green room.

"The thing is, for Jade, is that she sees me on TV and she wonders, 'Where is Mommy?'" De Laurentiis tells TODAY Moms. "It's really fun to cart her around and bring her with me ... just to see all the excitement and amazement in her eyes."
