Mekeia, a mother of two, shared a video holding her baby’s face as she asks him to say that he’s three months old. He then repeats the phrase in similar sounds, leaving his mother and sisters amazed.
The TikToker asks him to say “hello” to his sisters Quintin and Bam. While the baby is still making baby sounds, the three of them were impressed by the rhythm, which resembled words.
“He’s a baby genius, show him some math problems,” joked one user in the comments.
According to speech and language expert Claire Smith, this could be a phenomenon called echolalia. “Children mimic sounds and words as they learn to speak. Over time, they begin to form their own sentences,” she told the BBC.
