A mum has gone viral after capturing her three-month-old baby having a conversation with his sister.
When Mekeia Fox, 32, settled down to speak to her babbling newborn, she didn’t expect him to reply.
The mum-of-three was left “shocked” when her three-month-old, Messiah, clearly repeated his age to his sister and said hello to someone on the phone.

In disbelief, she shared the clip on TikTok, racking up 21.1m views and over 3.6m likes, to ensure her mind wasn’t playing tricks.
“I kept replaying it in my head, as I couldn’t believe it,” the realtor told What’s The Jam.
“It was so clear that I was slightly scared.
“My daughter was babbling early on, but it wasn’t as clear as Messiah’s.
“It’s made me very happy, excited, and proud – he’s a genius.”
Mekeia, from Atlanta, US, is also mum to Alena, eight, and Xavier, five.
From the minute he was born, they have been speaking to him every day – and believe this is why he’s so advanced for his age.
According to Pampers UK, a nappy brand, babies don’t typically say their first word until they’re around one year old.
And it’s said that joining two or three words together or forming short sentences, doesn’t happen until the two-year mark.
But for Messiah, he’s miles ahead.
In the clip, he’s lying down as his big sister asks: “Say I am three months.”
He then says it back to her, clearly, word-for-word.
In a state of shock, Mekeia gasps and then gets her phone out to ring her auntie and uncle.
She says: “Say hi Quinton” – which he repeats again – with the whole family saying: “Oh my god.”
Alena, in the disbelief of the moment, cries and says: “He’s doing it. You did it” as she brings him in for a hug.
Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions, with many people left impressed.
One person said: “These new babies have upgrades.”
“Ask him if he wants to go to 4 seasons Orlando,” Shlee added.
Gabby commented: “Big sis is in shambles.”
“Can he call my job and tell them I can’t come in,” someone else said.
One person added: “Next thing he writing emails and making appointments.”
“Lil bro graduating high school when he 5!!!” another user commented.
Since the video, the family has had other conversations with him – but he’s quick not to get caught on camera again.
She added: “I had been saying to people that he has been mimicking us, but I could never get proof.
“Whenever I would try to record him, he would get quiet and just stare at the camera.
“This time, I hid the camera – and was so surprised he said that much.
“No one would have believed me if I had told them.”
