One toddler is supporting his pregnant mom in a hilarious and unique way.
Amy von Gillern was confused when she noticed her son Brock, 2, walking around while leaning backwards with his stomach pushed out — until she realized he was just trying to copy his pregnant mom.
The mom of two, who also shares son Hayes, 4, with husband James von Gillern, recorded the funny moment, which has since gone viral on TikTok. In the clip, Brock walks through the kitchen with a snack in hand while dramatically pushing his stomach outward.
"When you thought you were handling your pregnancy with grace and then your toddler starts walking around like this," Amy wrote across the clip, which she hilariously captioned, "The snack in hand really drives it home."

Amy, who is currently 29 weeks pregnant, tells PEOPLE she first started noticing Brock's new walk just a couple of weeks ago.
"I started noticing it about two weeks ago. At first, I didn't think much of it until he started saying, 'No I'M pregnant!' whenever he overheard me tell somebody I was," she shares. "He walks around like that with his stomach pushed out and says there is a baby in his tummy too, which is adorable."
"Occasionally he'll deep sigh and hold his back after getting up off the ground, which is even more hilarious," she adds.

The mom of two says she thought it was "so funny" when she realized Brock was copying her.
"Here I was thinking I was handling my pregnancy so well, just to be humbled so dramatically by my 2-year-old! I am so much more conscious of my posture and deep sighs around him now!" she shares.

Amy says she decided to share her video online because she figured others would find it hilarious, too.
"I thought it was so funny to see how far out he pushed his belly to look like me! He's practically bending over backwards, which was just cracking me up, so I figured somebody out there might agree with me," she shares. "I have 10 weeks to go in this pregnancy, so I'm not sure he will be able to stick his tummy out far enough to look like me at the end."
She was right — other moms in the comments of the video couldn't help but laugh and reveal they've shared similar experiences.
"Wait a minute! I’m 38.5 weeks pregnant and my son is suddenly walking very strange… do you mean to tell me he’s mocking me?😭😭😭," one wrote.
"Mine has been putting 3 balls under her shirts," added one user, while another wrote. "Mine fake gags 😭 and walks with his hands on his hips."
