Michigan mom records 2-month-old appearing to say 'Hello'

NAPOLEON, Mich., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- An astonished Michigan mother shared video of her 2-month-old son appearing to say "hello" when prompted by his mom.

Samantha Jones of Napoleon posted a video to Facebook Monday that shows her son, Christian, looking up at the camera as his mother asks him to say "hello" to her friend Amber, the intended recipient of the video on Snapchat.

"Can you say, 'Hello, Amber?'" Jones asks the boy.

The infant mumbles a response that appears to resemble a "hello," leading his mother to prompt him again.

"Hello!" Christian appears to say clearly at the end of the video.

"My 2 month old said Hello to my friend on Snapchat," Jones wrote on Facebook.

Jones said she hadn't actually expected Christian to repeat the greeting.

"I gasped," she told Mlive.com. "I really couldn't believe it."
