Baby Who Can’t Talk Yet Learns to Count With His Fingers After Mum Showed Him, Video Surprises People

  • A baby who could not talk yet tried to copy his mother's counting action after he had watched her well
  • Despite the fact the baby was a few months old, he held his hand up, slowing raising each of his fingers like his mother did
  • Many TikTok users who watched the video could not believe that the few months old baby would do that

A video has shown just how much kids learn from adults around them. A Nigerian mother, @diamond_loks, counted her five fingers in front of her baby who still could not talk.

She made sure to call out the number loudly as she went over each of her fingers. The baby was wide-eyed as she did so.

Kid picked candy from stranger's basket

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a mother shared a video of her baby, @baby_starr_, putting up a scene at a supermarket where they visited to get some provisions.

While queuing at the counter, the kid went straight to a stranger's basket and picked a candy with much confidence.

The baby even examined it well to make sure it was what she wanted. When her mother tried to make her drop it, she refused. The mother attempted to wriggle the candy from her hand.
