Amy Schumer Shares Video of Look-Alike Son Gene Saying 'Mom' on Instagram

A bit of positivity is exactly what the world could use right now and, lucky for us, Amy Schumer is stepping up to the task.

On Instagram, the comedian, 39, recently shared a video of her one-year-old son, Gene David Fischer, saying "mom" as he plays with his toys. Schumer wrote, "The world is burning, but this was a nice moment."

Referring to the upcoming U.S. election, the actress also added, "Please make a voting plan and make sure everyone in your phone has a voting plan, supermajority.com can help."

In the video, after Schumer encourages her son to say the word "mom," he gleefully repeats it and flashes the biggest smile as his mom rewards him with kisses. As you may have noticed, Gene's smile is practically identical to his mom's. One fan said, "He is your twin!!!!!!!!! [heart emojis] Love to all he’s the cutest!!!"

Schumer and her husband, Chris Fischer, welcomed their little boy back in May and announced the news via Instagram. Though Schumer's pic has since been deleted, the clever caption included a subtle nod to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, whose son, Archie, also happens to share the same birthday. She wrote, "10:55 pm last night. Our royal baby was born." 

Since then, the funny lady has been very candid about her experiences with motherhood, from walking outdoors in hospital underwear to pumping milk on Instagram. However, in her talk with Entertainment Tonight, she revealed that her son has changed her "in a million ways."

She said, "I didn't know I could love someone that much no offense to my husband. But yeah, I think we're both shocked by the level of love that's possible."
