A proud mum thinks she might have the world's youngest talking baby - who said "hello" after just six weeks.<br /><br />Little Berlenti Eid thrilled her family by saying the word 45 days after she was born.<br /><br />Video shot on October 5 shows the magical moment - which left mum Somer Galal, 30, and gran Beverly Galal, 70, delighted.<br /><br />Berlenti, from San Francisco, California, then repeated the feat three days later in front of dad Omar Eid, 31.<br /><br />Babies generally say their first words between the ages of 10 and 14 months.<br /><br />British tot Charlie John Taylor-Mullington made headlines in 2020 when he said "hello" at eight weeks old.<br /><br />But Berlenti appears to have beaten him - which Somer, an architect, said is "incredible".<br /><br />She said: "It was the most heart-warming moment. She might be the world's youngest talking baby.<br /><br />"At first no one would believe me. I even wondered if I was just a crazy mother.<br /><br />"But in the second video she says it three or four times and she says it regularly now.<br /><br />"She might not know what it means, but she sees us smile and says it again.<br /><br />"If I'm distracted from her she says it to get my attention, so I'm sure she's using words to communicate.<br /><br />"It's amazing because her name means 'brilliant'."<br /><br />Berlenti, who was born weighing 8lbs 9oz on August 21, has most of her chats while having her nappy changed.<br /><br />And Somer said of the first 'hello': "I was so shocked. I was playing with her and we were just watching her.<br /><br />"I just started saying 'hello' to her. I don't really know what I expected.<br /><br />"I said to my mum, 'Wouldn't it be funny if she said hello back?'.<br /><br />"It's lovely how she's a typical girl - gossiping in the toilets. She gets really enthusiastic now when it's change time.<br /><br />"Omar didn't believe me - so he was very pleased when she said hello to him too."<br /><br />Berlenti always coughs or sneezes before talking, said Somer, who thinks that's her daughter exploring her vocal chords.<br /><br />She says she is also teaching her daughter to count and play piano - despite her tender age.<br /><br />Somer said: "I put my finger up and say 'one' and she puts her finger up too.<br /><br />"I think she's just mimicking me - but it's still very cute!<br /><br />"I put her hands on the piano keys and press them to show she can use her hands to make the noise.<br /><br />"I don't think she's understood that yet but she smiles when she hears the sound.<br /><br />"Maybe all babies are capable of this but we don't look for it because we're expecting them to just eat and sleep.<br /><br />"Or maybe she's a genius - I'm open to all possibilities.<br /><br />"It's interesting that at my first scan the doctor commented that her brain development was really advanced.<br /><br />"I thought they were being encouraging but maybe she's a little prodigy."
