Maybe it was just baby babble, but one New Jersey dad couldn't be happier with what he thinks he heard.

Ted Moskalenko posted a video to his YouTube channel of him making baby sounds to his 3-month-old son, Ben. As Ted babbles to Ben, the little one just babbles back. But when Ted tells his son "I love you," to his shock and amazement, little Ben sounds like he's saying it back.

Moskalenko writes in the video description: My baby boy Ben said "I love you" for the first time. Good thing my wife had the camera rolling. Enjoy! Our lovely boy is growing faster than we can keep up! 

The video has received more than 800,000 hits so far.

According to the Daily Mail, babies usually begin talking at around 18 months old. When they do, they can generally articulate around 10 basic words, and they also may be able to repeat the sounds they hear.
