WATCH: Happy birthday Nicole Kidman!

Nicole Kidman treated fans to a surprise look at her rarely photographed daughter, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, who turned 9 on Saturday.

The "Bombshell" actress posted the sweet photos to her Instagram, along with the caption, "Our baby girl is now 9! We love you so much precious precious girl. Happy birthday Faith!"

The first photo is a throwback, featuring Kidman cuddling a messy-haired baby Faith, before switching to the present in the second snapshot -- a chocolate cake with "Happy 9th Birthday Faith" delicately written in pink icing, which is surrounded by 10 equally pink candles.
