Ty Burrell of 'Modern Family' is a proud dad, and he showed it today on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM on ABC). He beamed while talking about his one-year-old daughter taking her first steps. Unfortunately, he couldn't be there to see it in person.

After Burrell announced his daughter took her first steps just the night before, the audience and host gave a collective "Awwwww."

"Yeah," he said. "That's what I said over the phone. I wasn't there."

Burrell then launched into some fake crying, but couldn't hold back a smirk. "My life is so bad," he said. "It's so hard."

He then explained how the kid used to scoot to get around, but at one point, stopped scooting, stood up, and walked to get to her toys. "That's for-real walking," he said. "That's not like where I do it and, like, lead her up to something and go, 'Hey you walked!'"
