Louis, a musician, described Jamila as a \"happy baby\" who will laugh at pretty much anything silly her dad or 7-year-old sister does.

\"Usually when she’s upset we’ll sing ‘Baby Shark’ and she’ll instantly stop crying,\" he said, referring to the popular kids' song.

Louis posted the video of Jamila laughing on Facebook to share with family and friends. It has since gone viral with more than 2.5 million views.

\"I just posted because I thought it was funny,\" he said. \"It just took off.\"
