In the touching Instagram footage, Evelyn – who celebrated her eighth birthday on Thursday – focused on keeping her balance while her dad kept a watchful eye on her.
As a precaution, Evelyn wore pink knee pads and a yellow helmet to go along with her shorts and t-shirt.
Always one to bring humor to a situation, the Die Hard legend decided to break out into dance as he continued to hold on tightly to his baby girl’s hand.
Despite his ailing health, the father of five looked fit as ever while shimmying for the camera in blue jeans and a grey t-shirt.
