This sweet child’s heart-melting response to Mom and Dad’s wedding photos will leave you charmed! While Mom Kendyll Kirkton was going about her work day, Dad captured a few precious moments of their little boy on video and sent it Mom’s way. What a wonderful surprise!

The blue-eyed baby boy, dressed in a cuddly navy blue sleeper, reclines on his father’s thighs. They are having some guy time when the observant infant looks to his right and spies a couple of photos. It takes a moment, but he soon realizes that the pretty face staring back at him from the wall is his mommy. She and Dad look beautiful and blissful on their wedding day.

The baby boy smiles big at his recognition! With delight, he extends his tiny hand in the direction of his mother. The precious nugget turns back toward Dad and squirms happily in Dad’s lap. And, soon, the tike returns his gaze to Mommy and breaks into a smile all over again. Mom and Dad sure do make this sweet pea happy!

It’s sometimes hard for young moms to leave their little ones at home when they go to work. However, Kendyll’s tiny blessing is fortunate to be in Dad’s capable hands. No doubt, the surprise message and video from Dad made Kendyll’s day. She shared in an Instagram post, which received 4 million views, “It melted my mom heart and I couldn’t wait to get home and snuggle him.” He definitely looks snuggly! 

Commenters agree, assuring her that it would certainly be understandable if she felt the need to head home early. One wrote, “I would have emailed this to my boss with subject: in case you’re looking for me.”

Before long, Kendyll’s little baby will be a big boy, so it’s awesome that her husband was thoughtful enough to notice and share that sweet moment with her. Little kindnesses like that mean a lot to working mothers! 

“May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful!” Proverbs 23:25
