In an incredible moment caught on camera, a Pennsylvania mom captured her newborn daughter doing something few believed possible—crawling at just three days old.
Samantha Mitchell, 34, was stunned when baby Nyilah Daise Tzabari lifted her head and moved forward shortly after birth. Born at 43 weeks, Nyilah weighed a healthy 7 pounds, 6 ounces. On her mom’s advice, Mitchell filmed the jaw-dropping moment, which quickly went viral on TikTok with over 6.6 million likes.
“This wasn’t a one-time thing,” Mitchell said. “She’s been strong since day one.”
Nyilah hit other major milestones early too—rolling over at 18 days, flipping both ways by two months, and now, at three months, standing with support. Mitchell says she doesn’t even want to sit: “She just won’t bend her knees!”
Even her communication is advanced—by six weeks, Nyilah was mimicking sounds and trying to repeat “I love you.”
Her dad, Tzabari, was surprised to learn how rare this behavior is for newborns. But both parents say they’re just enjoying the ride.
“She’s full of joy and surprises us every day,” Mitchell said. “We can’t wait to see what she does next.”
