Dwayne Johnson can't believe his daughter, Simone, is growing up so fast.

On Monday, the 45-year-old actor celebrated Simone's 16th birthday with a super sweet post on Instagram. "And just like that my baby girl @simonegjohnson turns 16," he captioned a flashback photo of when his daughter was still a little girl. "Feels like just yesterday, I held her tiny body in my hands the day she was born as I whispered, 'I'm gonna love and take care of you for the rest of my life.' She of course cried, which in newborn lingo translates to, 'You're the best damn daddy on the planet.' True story."

The action star loves to pull out all the stops when it comes to birthdays. When his youngest daughter, Jasmine, turned a year old in December, Johnson shared a video of him singing "Happy Birthday," which inevitably made hearts melt.

Then on his birthday in May, he also posted a snap of himself and Jasmine hanging out. "This lil' mama surprised me by runnin' into my arms and yelling, 'Daaaahdeeeeee,' which in my mind clearly means, 'Happy birthday, daddy! You're the coolest daddy on the planet and the sexiest man alive. Now go crush your workout and keep stayin' woke,'" he quipped in the caption.
