Every parent has plenty of important moments that they will forever remember with their child, but it is often those small moments that steal one’s heart. One video has recently gone viral of a new parent with his child.
In the video, shared by Jackie Spencer in 2016, a new father is locked in deep conversation with his four-month-old baby. He is sitting on a couch holding the child. They are both snuggled in and ready for some bonding time, and this is when the father decides to have a long conversation with his new child. The baby is gazing up at his daddy with such soft eyes and a warm smile.
The baby reacts happily to his father with babbles and coos. Watching the two of them locked in such an adorable conversation is bound to make you remember your experiences with your own children.
Somewhere along the way, the father decides to try speaking his son’s language and begins cooing and babbling back to him. The baby clearly enjoys this conversation and is replying back happily with his arms flailing excitedly. While the conversation might not sound coherent to anyone else, the father and son clearly know what they are talking about and go back and forth.
According to speech-language pathologist Rachel Cortese, imitating your child’s sounds help improve their communication skills. Your baby will begin attempting to explain how he or she is feeling and try to communicate other important information to you. Of course, at such a young age, you might not completely understand their babbles, but as they grow older, they will become great at communicating.
The father seems proud of his ability to carry out a conversation with his son. If anything, the video shows just how strong their bond is. While there will be plenty of other moments in their lives that they will share together, the father will probably treasure this one the most.
