Video of 1-year-old girl mimicking mom, speaking in perfect sentences goes viral

WATCH: 1-year-old girl speaks in perfect sentences

A 1-year-old in San Antonio, Texas can speak in nearly perfect sentences, and the internet has fallen in love.

The proud mother, Kerry Robinson, captured her daughter Jayde speaking very well — for a child her age — while brushing her mother's hair in a now viral Facebook video.

Robinson, 25, told ABC News it all started when she tried to get Jayde to "be still and stop running around," so she handed her a brush and initiated a conversation.

"We really just do this kind of stuff all the time, because her personality is so big," she added.

And how did Jayde get to talk so well at such a young age?

Robinson credits her partner, Francis Garner.

"Her dad has always talked to her like a normal adult," Robinson said. "We never really did the baby talk. She's really smart. She really repeats everything."

A video of Jayde repeating her mother's complete sentences — such as "I'm excited, girl," and "Then what happened?" — has gone viral, with more than 6 million views.
