Mindy Kaling is calling out someone in her family for missing her appearance at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, the Mindy Project alum, 45, took to her Instagram Stories to share a wholesome picture of her daughter Katherine "Kit," 6, and son Spencer, 3, gathered around the television watching her speak at the DNC in Chicago.

In the photo, Kit wears pink heart pajamas and stands in front of the television screen while Spencer, who wears green truck pajamas, sits on the ground.

Although her two older kids showed their support, Kaling's newborn daughter Anne, whom she quietly welcomed earlier this year, was nowhere to be seen. "But where was the baby?! Big timed by Anne," the mom of three jokingly wrote over the photo.

In July, Kaling's close friend B.J. Novak spoke to PEOPLE and shared whether or not he'd been able to meet her daughter Anne yet.

“Of course,” Novak told PEOPLE. “She is adorable and the best."

This past June, the actress revealed on Instagram that she welcomed her third baby, daughter Anne. The proud mom kept her pregnancy a secret from the public, which she also did with her first two pregnancies.

In her announcement, Kaling shared a photo of her baby bump, as well as a snap of her in a hospital bed alongside her two older kids.

"In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined," Kaling captioned the post.

"When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life. I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!"
