Imagine the bliss of walking into your baby’s room first thing in the morning.
It’s a moment filled with love and joy for any parent, especially when the little one has spent the night in peaceful slumber.
However, for a couple from Boston, this daily ritual became a source of immense amusement and joy, as their son, Kaden, had a unique and priceless reaction every time they unswaddled him after his sleep.
Introducing Kaden, or as the internet knows him, “KPtheBaby.”
This adorable little boy has his own social media accounts, diligently managed by his dad, Kent Siri.
With his infectious charm and cute antics, Kaden has amassed tens of thousands of followers, becoming a little internet star due to his delightful and amusing morning routine!
When Kaden was an infant, he found comfort in being swaddled in a blanket, a practice many babies enjoy.
For Kaden and his parents, swaddling was more than just a comfort; it was a necessity due to his “strong startle reflex,” which caused him to “jolt” awake at night.
Kent explained to BuzzFeed, “Swaddling makes him feel safe and secure and helps him sleep,” highlighting the importance of this practice in ensuring peaceful nights for little Kaden.
Every time Kaden was unwrapped in the morning or after a nap, he would do something utterly hilarious and heartwarming.
The moment the blanket was off, his arms would shoot straight up, and a radiant, joyful grin would spread across his face, signaling his excitement and readiness to embrace the day.
It’s such a charming and uplifting sight, making you wish every morning could start this way!
Finding his son’s “spring-loaded” arms amusing, Kent started capturing these adorable moments on camera, creating a series of entertaining videos.
He initially added the renowned line from the movie Braveheart to the clips, intending to share a chuckle with friends and family.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, with everyone enjoying a good laugh, encouraging Kent to create more amusing compilations featuring Kaden, synchronized with various songs and movie clips.
It wasn’t long before Kaden’s adorable reaction to being unswaddled captured the hearts of the internet, turning him into a viral sensation!
The family initially shared individual recordings on their Facebook page, but according to Kent, it was the compilation of these adorable clips that truly “exploded,” garnering over five million views on YouTube and spreading smiles across the globe.
The viral compilation features Kaden, throwing his arms up to a diverse array of tunes like “Hip Hop Hooray” and “YMCA,” making it nearly impossible for anyone to watch without cracking a smile.
The video description humorously compares Kaden to a “well-rested basketball player coming off the bench…PUT ME IN, COACH! #wakingupwithkaden,” adding a playful touch to the adorable footage.
Addressing concerns and queries in the YouTube description, they assure viewers that Kaden is very “comfortable” when swaddled, emphasizing, “Kaden LOVES being swaddled. It provides him comfort and security when he sleeps… Kaden has a strong startle reflex (also known as the Moro Reflex) which causes him to jolt a lot at night and wake himself up… since we started swaddling him, he sleeps much better and he loves it. Hope this helps clarify things!”
While all babies have their own charm and cuteness, Kaden’s reaction to being unswaddled brings a whole new level of adorable to the table!
