Heart-warming family video has captured the moment a baby let out his 'first ever belly laugh' while watching his dad repeatedly rip open masking tape to seal a parcel. Little Carter Hazlewood is captured chuckling for two minutes straight.
Ross Hazlewood returned home from a long day at work last month and started packing up a box while seven-month-old Carter lay on the bed next to him. The 32-year-old dad unwound the brown sticky tape before little Carter, who has been known to be 'grumpy' at times before learning to love smiling, erupted in hysterical laughter, his tiny body shaking with delight at the sound.
In the clip, the tradesman rips a second piece of plastic tape as cute Carter watches expectantly - before again bursting out into infectious little chuckles.
