A baby boy's sweet TikTok videos are bringing smiles to the millions who are watching.

A mom named Bailey of Dakota, Illinois, began posting footage of her 11-month-old son, Franklin, on the video sharing app. The first video showing Franklin inside a spaghetti pot garnered 4.2 million hits.

In a more recent video titled, "Franklin does his hair," Bailey gives him several hairstyles like "The Business Professional," "The Mohawk" and "The Danny Zuko" -- from the movie, "Grease."

"Everybody basically says how cute he is, how adorable. I often get, 'Can i have him? Can I steal him?'" said Bailey, who ask her surname be omitted for privacy reasons. "It's often jokes and fun."

Bailey said she's been sharing a lot of Franklin videos throughout the pandemic and though it may take some bribing, big brothers Lincoln, 5 and Grant, 3, occasionally join in. Franklin, however, is always on-board.

"He's pretty easy going," Bailey said. "He kind of just lets us do whatever and he's cool with it."

Bailey said she's enjoyed connecting with other TikTok-ers.

She will soon be using her viral platform for good, by promoting an anti-cyber bullying campaign related to the group AntiBullyingPro and Claudia Villarreal, author of "The Bully Who Learned to Love."
