When Ashleigh and Jason Williamson of Cambria County uploaded video of their son Marty’s second birthday, they had no idea it would go viral.

"I still dismissed it until today, when it started making all the major websites. That was pretty crazy," Jason Williamson told WJAC.

In just two days, the video showing the boy adorably trying to blow out the candles received more than 445,000 views.

The Williamsons told WJAC this was Marty's first experience blowing out a candle, and in the end dad had to save the day.

“He likes to do things by himself, so we usually try and let him,” Ashleigh said.

She has a blog about her son that she hopes to one day share with him.

"This is definitely one that I've been keeping up on," she told WJAC.
