The tiny tot, who is now nine weeks old, was filmed by his 36-year-old mother who says that she knew he had been trying to communicate for a while.
''He was trying to speak for a while but that day I knew he was trying to say something. I'd read that babies communicate from a young age and to give them space to answer when you talk to them. That was I was doing that day and because he was so alert and making such good eye contact I decided to video him. You can tell my total shock when he came out with 'hello'.''
Toni, who has three older daughters Sophia 12, Ellie, 11 and Eva, eight, said that she knew other people would be shocked when they saw the film.
''If I hadn't have videoed it I'm sure people wouldn't have believed me. I don't think I would have believed it myself! After that he said it again to my daughter Eva although it wasn't as clear. When he has been focused and interacting with me since that day I have been telling him "I love you" and I can see he is trying to copy that! I have three older girls and never experienced this with them although I think I probably just talked "at" them and didn't give them space to respond.''
''He loves his sisters but from a very young age he always responded most positively to interaction from his dad, my husband Paul. From about five weeks old his little tongue would stick out when his dad was talking to him. I realise now he was trying to talk because that's what he does in the video.'' Tino added ''Lots of people have said it brightened their day. Lots of people say they can't stop watching it. A girl I know said it is a perfect example of the love between mother and child Some people don't believe it's real, that it's been edited but on the whole most people love it. That is really lovely for me as there is so much bad in the world it's great that my wee son is spreading some joy.''Watch video
