A child’s first words are always a heart-warming moment for any parent.

And thankfully, the camera was rolling to capture this baby’s adorable first complete sentence and his dad’s shocked reaction.

YouTube user Ted Moskalenko from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, posted a video on his channel of his three-month-old baby boy saying “I love you.”

Moskalenko is seen in the short clip holding the infant, named Ben, on his lap and making baby sounds. The two go back and forth babbling, and then the dad tells his three-month-old that he loves him.

At first there’s complete silence and then Ben looks up at his dad and says “I love you” back.

Moskalenko appears to be shocked as he smiles and looks up at his wife, who is filming the unexpected special moment.

Although Ben’s first words are a little garbled, both his parents think it counts.

Posting alongside the video, Moskalenko wrote: “My baby boy Ben said “I love you” for the first time.”

Ted’s wife, Michelle, commented on the video saying “That’s my boy! I’m so proud of you honey.”

The cute clip has already been viewed more than 200,000 times.
