Every parent has plenty of important moments that they will forever remember with their child, but it is often those small moments that steal one's heart. One video went viral of a new parent with his child.

In the video, shared by Jackie Spencer in 2016, a new father is locked in deep conversation with his 4-month-old baby. He is sitting on a couch holding the child. They are both snuggled in and ready for some bonding time, and this is when the father decides to have a long conversation with his new child. The baby is gazing up at his daddy with such soft eyes and a warm smile.

The baby reacts happily to his father with babbles and coos. Watching the two of them locked in such an adorable conversation is bound to make you remember your experiences with your own children.

Somewhere along the way, the father decides to try speaking his son's language and begins cooing and babbling back to him. The baby clearly enjoys this conversation and is replying back happily with his arms flailing excitedly. While the conversation might not sound coherent to anyone else, the father and son clearly know what they are talking about and go back and forth.

According to speech-language pathologist Rachel Cortese, imitating your child's sounds helps improve their communication skills. Your baby will begin attempting to explain how he or she is feeling and will try to communicate other important information to you. Of course, at such a young age, you might not completely understand their babbles, but as they grow older, they will become great at communicating.

Infancy is one of the most crucial periods in child development. By babbling and cooing, your child is attempting to form words, but cannot properly make the sounds. With more conversations throughout your child's infancy, he will eventually be able to put sounds together to say his first word, which is often "mama" or "dada."

Communicating with your child in this manner is perhaps one of the most important things you could ever do for them. Not to mention, it is definitely a great bonding experience!

The father seems proud of his ability to carry out a conversation with his son. If anything, the video shows just how strong their bond is. While there will be plenty of other moments in their lives that they will share together, the father will probably treasure this one the most.

The video has accumulated over 1.7 million views. Several viewers have left positive comments about the video. One viewer said: "So precious. Warmed my heart. Nothing like a baby to make your day brighter."

Another person told the father to enjoy these tender moments because they do not last forever. Regardless, these small moments are worth living for.

While there was no clear meaning behind the conversation, this is certainly a memory that the father will treasure forever! What did you think about this story? Be sure to tell your friends and give us your opinions!
