Toddler makes sure her mom is giving her attention every two seconds in the cutest way possible

Whether it’s calling for their mom or dad every few seconds or wanting to be involved in everything their parents do, toddlers' constant need for attention is completely normal. One heartwarming moment shows a toddler gently demanding her mom's attention every two seconds, even when she's busy cooking. The adorable video was shared on TikTok by her mom, Jai, who goes by @jaidemendoza on the video-sharing platform.

The video clip shows the mum skilfully cooking dinner with one hand while effortlessly holding her baby daughter in the other. The curious toddler carefully observes her mom’s every movement, but every few seconds, she leans in, flashes a sweet smile, and peeks at her mom’s face, just to make sure that she still has her attention. Her mom responds lovingly by smiling back at her daughter and gently kissing her on the cheek. The caption of the video read, "She's like, 'Hey mom, by the way I'm still here'."

Viewers in the comment section gushed over the adorable moment, saying they couldn’t get enough of the tiny show stealer. One TikTok user, @conlamorena, commented, “Aww, you just brought back a core memory with my girl. She’s ten now, but she still does the same, popping her head in every 5 seconds, no matter where I am.” Another person, @tree.nena, shared how she related to the video clip and wrote, “Currently sobbing because this reminded me of when my nephew, who’s forever two, did this with me. This is so precious.”

Adding to the above comments, @dsweetz2 chimed in, “She’s so adorable! I would have mine in the pack and play so she could play, but also be near while I cooked, tho. Safety first.” @iamlovevol also shared her experience with her kid and said, “She’s adorable! My 1-year-old daughter is so feral. She makes me hold her so she can swing herself around, trying to grab any and everything.” Several others in the comments described the little girl as the cutest, with some even referring to her as a real-life doll. This also shows how toddlers have a deep love for their parents, often showing it through hugs and smiles, wanting to be close all the time.

Toddlers are naturally curious, constantly exploring their surroundings to make sense of the world. In one such sweet moment on TikTok, parents Chris and Hannah Jarrell were spending time with their 4-month-old daughter when they accidentally recorded her looking at herself in the mirror for the first time. Her wide-eyed reaction quickly turned into pure delight, and she couldn’t stop staring at the reflection. Soon, she burst into laughter, much to her parents' surprise.
