Shock and Aww: Baby's Surprise Turns to Laughter in Adorable Game of Peekaboo

A game of peekaboo looked like it might go wrong when eight-month-old Lucas let out a scream when his dad popped up, but as a cute TikTok shows, Lucas instantly decided this was the funniest thing ever, and burst out laughing.

Rebecca Ochoa captured the heartwarming moment on video, as dad Nathanial popped up in front of little Lucas. “Babe, I think you’re scaring him,” she says, as Lucas lets out a scream. But she kept recording Lucas’s hilarious change of heart, as he bursts out laughing.

“It was so funny we could not stop laughing about it for the whole rest of the day,” Ochoa told Storyful.

The video has gone viral on TikTok with 18.3 million views and over 3.5 million likes at the time of writing. Credit: Rebecca Ochoa via Storyful
