Imagine this: You’re a parent, stepping into your baby’s room first thing in the morning.
It’s a scene brimming with love and joy, especially when your little one has spent the night in peaceful slumber.
But for a Boston couple, this daily ritual turned into a source of immense amusement and joy, thanks to their son, Kaden.
Every time they unswaddled him after his sleep, Kaden’s reaction was uniquely priceless.
Meet Kaden, or as the internet adores him, “KPtheBaby.”
This adorable munchkin, with his own social media accounts managed by his dad, Kent Siri, has charmed tens of thousands of followers.
His delightful and amusing morning routine has made him a little internet star!
When Kaden was an infant, he found solace in being swaddled in a blanket, a common comfort for many babies.
For Kaden and his parents, swaddling was essential 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.”
This practice was crucial for ensuring peaceful nights for Kaden.
The magic happened every time Kaden was unwrapped in the morning or after a nap.
As soon as the blanket was off, his arms would shoot straight up, and a radiant, joyful grin would spread across his face.
It was a charming and uplifting sight, signaling his excitement and readiness to embrace the day.
Finding his son’s “spring-loaded” arms amusing, Kent began capturing these adorable moments on camera.
He initially added the famous line from the movie Braveheart to the clips, sharing them for a chuckle with friends and family.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, leading Kent to create more 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 it was the compilation of these clips that truly “exploded,” amassing over five million views on YouTube and spreading smiles worldwide.
The viral compilation features Kaden throwing his arms up to a diverse array of tunes like “Hip Hop Hooray” and “YMCA.”
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, the YouTube description assures viewers that Kaden is very “comfortable” when swaddled.
They emphasize:
“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!
It’s bound to leave you with a big smile and a warmed heart!
