‘Baby Bun' marks important milestone

Kaleb, AKA Baby Buns, sitting up for the first time.

DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. — It may be something that every child accomplishes, but it means even more to the parents of Kaleb, AKA Baby Bun.

Arkell and Dana Graves post the video on their Facebook page of Kaleb sitting up on his own for 1 minute and 48 seconds.

I'm sharing a video of Kaleb's accomplishment. He's sitting up on his own for 1 minute 48 seconds. It may seem like a small or delayed milestone at 13 months corrective age but it's a blessing to us. The best is yet to come! We are thankful for his nurses, physical and occupational therapist, they've helped him achieve so much. #TeamKaleb

Kaleb became a viral star even before he was born when his father's reaction to the pregnancy news earned millions of video views on Facebook and YouTube.

After some health issues by both mom and baby, and with only a 5 percent chance of survival, 'Baby Bun' was born at 24 weeks in October 2015 and spent nearly his first year in a hospital.

His health and development has been improving ever since.

Cap and Gown! Because it's his 1st graduation! #TeamKaleb
