ELLEN Pompeo says her daughter Stella brings “so much joy” to her life.

The Grey’s Anatomy star welcomed the tot, her first, in September 2009.

And Ellen says she’s loving motherhood!

“Every day is like Christmas morning. Every day when I go to her room to get her from her crib, it’s indescribable,” Pompeo told People magazine.

“I thought I was happy before, but she just brings so much joy. She’s such a happy girl.

“She’s got the walking thing down, which is terrifying because the falling thing comes with that of course.

“When we left the hotel room she said bye [to her father]. She said it once and it was super exciting. I screamed!

“The door was slamming and I opened the door and said, ‘Did you hear that?!’ She’s adorable.”
