If work is already making you countdown the days until the weekend, take 16 seconds out of your busy schedule and watch this adorable video of Saint West for an instant pick-me-up. 

Yesterday, doting mother Kim Kardashian posted an adorable video of 8-month old Saint dressed in a white onesie giggling and smiling at the camera.

The mother-of-two can be heard making cooing noises at her son while shaking a miniature stuffed animal that has the baby in fits of laughter.

The video is a rare look into life at home with Saint West since his birth last December – a conscious decision made by his 35-year-old mother who has been surprisingly private following her second pregnancy.

On Friday, the reality star spoke at the BlogHer 16 conference in Los Angeles and admitted to having implemented certain boundaries surrounding her children's privacy so they have the ability to grow up out of the spotlight.

Referring to rumors that a lack of social media posts of Saint meant he didn't exist she said:

'So truly, I was not posting about my son because I wanted him to be able to go to the park every single day like a normal human being and nobody knows who he is.

'He's 8-months-old now, and people thought he didn't exist. People thought I had a whole fake baby and I made this whole thing up because I wasn't posting about it. And to me, that's so ridiculous,' the businesswoman added.

Speaking of bringing up her children in the media eye she said: 'You'll notice on weekends that I don't post as much because I'm with my kids.

'I'm really protective of my life with them. You might see them on Keeping Up With the Kardashians a little bit, but no real stories about them. Selfishly, I like that I can bring my kids to work. If I'm filming, I'm not going to say stop, I just tell [the crew] please don't get faces. They're there, but there's never stories around the children,' she continued. 

The star also revealed she was uncertain as to when she would allow her 3-year-old daughter North to have her own social media account, admitting she used to spy on her younger sisters' Facebook accounts. 

'Some people have accounts for their babies, I don't think I'll do that. I think they'll have to ask me and have a conversation about that.

'I kind of went through that with my youngest sisters Kylie and Kendall.

'They wanted Facebook accounts and me, Khloe and Kourtney had their passwords and spied on them for my mom. I'll be overprotective to an extent, creeping on their accounts all the time, but I think I actually know Kendall and Kylie so much more from watching their Snapchats,' she added. 

As for her own children's futures, the media mogul hopes they will be 'outspoken' and 'follow their truths'. 

'And for any mistakes? I hope that they can see that no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I've made a ton, they've been very public—and that you can just get through anything,' she concluded.

In the meantime, keep posting videos of Saint West laughing please - it's infectious.
