Most parents of three-month-olds are delighted to see a smile or watched their baby manage to lift their head by themselves.
But one dad found himself shocked and surprised when his 3-month-old baby managed to force out three very special little words.
Proud dad Ted Moskalenko shared a short clip on YouTube of him enjoying a chin-wag with his little one.
After telling baby boy Ben, ‘I love you’, the bright infant appeared to respond to him, word-for-word with an ‘I love you’ right back.
The flabbergasted dad wrote underneath the video: “My baby boy Ben said "I love you" for the first time. Good thing my wife had the camera rolling. Enjoy!”
He added: “Our lovely boy is growing faster than we can keep up!”
Ben’s mum Michelle wrote beneath the video: “That's my boy! I'm so proud of you honey.”
