Billy Ray Cyrus isn't quite ready for Miley Cyrus to keep getting older!

The "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner took to Instagram to shout out to his daughter on her 23rd birthday Monday, sharing an adorable throwback picture to do the honors. While Billy Ray rocks a full-blown mullet in the cute close-up, Miley looks precious in a gingham dress adorned with bows, holding both her daddy and her teddy bear tight.

"Happy birthday @MileyCyrus!" he captioned the sweet snap. "You've already had such an incredible year and I know that 2016 is gonna be even bigger!!!!! #HappyBirthdayMiley."

Indeed she has! Over the past year Cyrus has been putting a lot of her star power to good use with the Happy Hippie Foundation, her nonprofit that helps fight injustices faced by homeless and LGBT youth. She recently won the Vanguard Award at the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Vanguard Awards gala, where she gave a heartfelt speech.

"I want all of you to know that I feel beyond grateful to be in a room full of so many…people who care so much about others because unfortunately that is way too rare in the world that we live in today," Cyrus said at the gala. "I'm thinking of tonight not as celebrating what we've already done but what we're doing and what we're going to do in the future."

We can't wait to see what she'll have in store for us this year!
