Parents Toni and Paul McCann from Belfast were so astonished when their seven-week-old baby little Cillian McCann responded 'hello' after his mother, Toni, coaxed him to utter the word. The heart-warming moment was caught on camera and was first posted in a Facebook page of a radio station in the UK.

The 23-second video posted on Cool Fm's Facebook page went viral which also earned little Cillian earned the title 'little genius'.

As described by Foxnews, Cilliain's mom Toni McCann is initiating a mild conversation with her baby coaxing her to say 'hello' in return. Toni repeated the word several times and amazingly, at the end of the 23-second video clip, little Cillian uttered his first hello.

Further, Cillian's proud mom also told the press that the baby is trying to speak all day that time. They had a second attempt in coaxing Cian to say 'hello' to his sister but the words are not that clear.

"Loads of people have said it's really brightened their day, which is lovely. He was trying to talk, I thought, the whole day. His wee tongue kept coming out and I thought 'is he trying to speak to me?' so I set him in his chair and started saying 'hello'." Toni said in a report by Belfast Telegraph.

The 36-year old mom also shared the clip in her Facebook and was astonished to receive messages from people.

One message saying, ""Ur wee baby is gonna be famous bless him."

From that unforgettable incident, Toni shared one of her insights about babies. In a report from the Irish Post, she said, "I think it might have been just a one off but he is really trying to communicate. Now I realise what babies can actually do. I think they understand more than what we think they do."
