She's starred onscreen with Tom Cruise, Patrick Dempsey and Shia LaBeouf, but Michelle Monaghan said those films don't hold a candle to her new part – "the role of mommy."
The Eagle Eye actress, 32, gave birth to daughter Willow Katherine on Nov. 5. Three months later, "every day feels like Christmas," she told PEOPLE. "It's such a profound love. A couple of weeks ago I saw her discover her own toes and she wiggled them and her eyes got really big."
Monaghan ventured out on her own for a New York City amfAR gala Feb. 12. Leaving Willow at home in L.A. with husband Peter White was difficult for the actress. "It's my first night away from her," she says, "and I imagine I miss her more than she misses me."
