Three weeks late into this world, Nyilah Daise Tzabari arrived with an expediated plan to make up for lost time and get things done.
Lifting her head and scooting across her cot at only three days, Nyilah, a super baby, is evolving unusually fast, leaving her first-time mom and dad in shock.
Still in the hospital, baby Nyilah was captured on camera, lifting her own head and crawling in her cot.
She was less than three days old.
“The video was taken when Nyilah wasn’t even a full three days old. She was two and a half days old,” said first-time mom, Samantha Mitchell, of White Oak, PA, who added her wonder baby makes her feel like “she’s never had a newborn.”
Speaking with Kennedy News (though New York Post), the 34-year-old mom said, “I’ve babysat most of my life and have over 20 years’ experience with children and I’ve never seen anything like this before.” She continued, “I guess I’ve never been around many babies at three days old so there are a lot of (nuances) in it but I have never seen a baby like this ever.”
In the TikTok video, when Nyilah uses her tiny front arms to prop herself up and crawl, you can hear Samantha’s mom say, “no fricken way,” and Samantha, who sounds gobsmacked, saying “Oh my gosh. Mom! She’s crawling! Mom!…how does that even move?”
Responding to her baby’s cooing, Samantha says, “Well that’s what happens when you spend too much time in mommy’s belly.”
Born to parents Samantha and her fiancé Ofer Tzabari, Nyilah was three weeks late. She entered the world on February 27, 2023 at 7 lbs 6 oz and went viral when Samantha filmed her unexpected movements to prove to her family and friends that her baby was already crawling.
“My mother was the only other person in the room when it happened and she told me to record it,” Samantha said. “No one would have believed me otherwise. My fiancé wasn’t in the room, and I know if I didn’t get it on film, he would not have believed me…(The video shows) the first time I saw her crawl and I was in complete shock…The way she lifted her head too and was babbling left me in complete shock,” she added.
The video, Samantha’s first on TikTok, has 57.5 million views.
Fans were equally surprised about Nyilah’s incredible strength, and jumped in with comments like, “These new babies are different they come out crawling and be walking at 1 month old, talking at 3 months and getting jobs at 2yrs old.”
Another user jokes, “I would run out without the baby,” while one says, “Rumor has it she left on a plane a day later to live life.”
According to Healthline, most babies start to creep or crawl around six to 12 months. “And for many of them, the crawling stage doesn’t last long–once they get a taste of independence, they start pulling up and cruising on the way to walking.”
“Oh momma! you better get home and baby proof! that little is already on the move!!” One user wrote, cautioning Samantha on her quickly developing newborn.
“Sometimes I laugh and just think I wish she could be a baby,” Samantha said.
It seems like Nyilah is on the fast-track to growing up. At only 18 days, she was rolling from her belly to her back, at one month old, she was smiling at her mom, at two months she was rolling from her back to her belly, and at three months, she was slugging her mom with her powerful arms.
In an adorable video posted June 6, Samantha gets a mitten-covered fist to the face and giggling, she says, “Oh you punched mommy.”
In addition to testing out the strength of her arms, Nyilah is already standing with support, and mom predicts it won’t be long until she starts walking.
“Without a doubt, she will start walking soon. She stands at the moment. She puts so much weight on her legs. We’re not trying to make her stand. She just refuses to buckle her knees and sit down,” Samantha said. “She isn’t standing on her own yet, but she stands holding us and is always trying to stand.”
Also, Samantha shares that Nyilah is so strong, that she no longer needs her head and neck supported.
“I’m shocked every day by her. She tries to push herself out of her little chair and bouncer when we put her in it too…She is a very alert baby and has been since she was born. From day one her strength was very shocking to us,” the mom said.
Nyilah is turning out to be very chatty. At seven weeks, she tried to have a conversation, mimicking words spoken by her mom and dad, Ofer.
“We always say I love you to her and she seemed to be trying to repeat it to us and trying to say it. We couldn’t believe it. It is more like babbling but she is definitely trying to copy us,” Samantha said. “If she makes a noise and we laugh, she will keep making the noise because she knows we’ll react. She’s a very clever baby.
Nyilah is also a very happy baby.
“She is such a smiley, happy baby and laughs all the time. The second you smile at her; she starts smiling and laughing back at us. She is such a happy baby and I hope her videos make everyone happy.” Tzabari added, “For me, it was the first time I’ve been with a newborn, and I thought her actions were normal until people began to tell me they weren’t…I thought this was how babies were but actually her actions aren’t average for a baby of her age.”
Woman Spends 10 Years at Home Raising 4 Kids, Husband Complains He is the Only Breadwinner
One evening, after an exhausting day at the office, Henry returned home, dropped his briefcase on the couch, loosened his tie, and settled in to watch TV. When Alison asked him for help retrieving something from a high shelf, he ignored her, choosing instead to relax. Frustrated, Alison asked again, and this time, Henry snapped.
“I’ve been working all day, and you’ve been home doing nothing! Can’t I just have a moment of peace?” he shouted. His words deeply offended Alison, leading to a heated argument. She defended her role, pointing out that managing the household and raising their kids was no small feat. Henry, still unwilling to see her side, retorted, “I work hard to provide for this family while you just cook, clean, and look after the kids. You get breaks. I don’t.”
Tired of the constant dismissals, Alison proposed they swap roles, challenging Henry to see firsthand who had the more demanding job. Confident that he would breeze through her responsibilities, Henry agreed to the switch.
The next morning, Alison prepared for her first day at Henry’s office, while Henry, eager to prove himself, tackled the household duties. Things quickly went awry. He burnt breakfast, struggled to get the kids ready for school, and even accidentally brought the wrong child home at pick-up time. His attempts to do laundry ended in disaster, with his white shirts dyed in bright colors. Dinner was another fiasco—burnt tortillas filled the kitchen with smoke, and Henry was left exhausted and overwhelmed.
By the fourth day of their challenge, Alison returned home to find the house spotless and dinner neatly plated on the table. For a moment, she was stunned. Had Henry finally mastered the art of homemaking? But Henry quickly revealed the truth—he had hired a housekeeper to manage the tasks he couldn’t handle.
“Honey, I’m so sorry,” Henry said, offering her a bouquet of roses. “I’ve realized just how hard you work, and I was wrong to take it for granted. You win.”
Alison, touched by his newfound understanding, forgave him. They decided to keep the housekeeper to lighten Alison’s load, allowing her more time with the children. From that day on, Henry never complained about his job again, and he was always quick to help Alison whenever she needed it.
Moral of the story: Don’t underestimate or take someone’s responsibilities for granted. Henry thought managing the household was easy until he experienced the challenges firsthand. It was only after swapping roles with his wife that he truly appreciated the hard work Alison had been doing all along.
