It's a day for celebration in Kate Hudson's home, as the youngest of her three children, the adorable Rani Rose, turns five years old on Monday, October 2.

In honor of her special milestone, the actress, 44, shared a rarely-seen video of herself holding and cooing to her daughter when she was just a baby.

As Rani fidgeted in her mom's arms, Kate played the Johnny Cash song "You Are My Sunshine," and sang along to its lyrics like "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine/ You make me happy when skies are gray."

Kate, the daughter of Goldie Hawn and her ex-husband Bill Hudson, penned a sweet tribute to Rani which read: "5 years old today! The birth of Rani was pure magic and magic is what continues. Happiest birthday to Rani Rose!"

Many of her famous friends commented, with Amanda Kloots gushing: "Awwww so so cute!!! Happy 5th birthday," and Nina Dobrev adding: "I can’t believe she's already 5!!!!"

A fan wrote: "Such preciousness! Happiest of birthdays to your sweet angel girl, Rani Rose," while another added: "Awww… Happy Birthday Princess!!!" and a third replied: "Happy birthday beautiful Rani Rose."

"I've been having children my entire adult life," she says. "I've got my [then 4-year-old] and I've got a kid in college. And I don't even know if I'm done yet. You know, I don't have that answer yet."

"How am I? You know, where am I at? And do I feel good? And do I feel healthy? And how are my kids? How's my relationship? Like, am I happy right now? And what do I need to be happy? Where do I need to spend some time refocusing?" Kate explained.

"Being a mom and a working mom it's never easy but no, every day, it's just crazy. It's insane. I mean, as I said, the little things that just come out of [my son's] mouth like that – you just look at him and think – is there anything that's not more fun than that? I mean that's it.
