The story of baby Nyilah Daise Tzabari didn’t end with her first extraordinary video. Her mother, Samantha Mitchell, says her daughter has continued to surprise everyone with milestones well beyond her age.
At just 18 days old, Nyilah began rolling from her stomach to her back — a movement that typically appears around four months. By two months, she was already flipping herself from back to front. Now, at three months old, she can stand with minimal support. “She refuses to sit down,” Mitchell said with a laugh. “We’re not encouraging her to stand, but she refuses to bend her knees. She’s incredibly determined.”
Even more astonishing is the baby’s growing communication skills. Mitchell shared that at only six weeks, Nyilah began mimicking sounds. “She babbles back at us as if she’s trying to copy what we say,” she said. “She even reacts to our laughter by repeating sounds to make us laugh again.”
When the family shared the original crawling video on TikTok, it quickly went viral, earning 6.6 million likes and sparking thousands of comments. Viewers were both amazed and amused, with one writing, “She’ll be working by next week at this rate!” while another joked, “That baby’s been here before and has things to do!”
For Nyilah’s father, Ofer Tzabari, the experience has been eye-opening. As a first-time dad, he initially thought newborns were simply more active than he realized. “I didn’t know how unusual it was until people started telling me,” he admitted.
Despite the worldwide attention, Mitchell says the family is focused on enjoying their daughter’s rapid growth. “She’s such a joyful, smiley baby,” she said. “She surprises us every day, and we’re excited to see what she’ll do next.”
What began as a simple video has now become a viral sensation — a glimpse into the remarkable early strength and spirit of one little girl who seems determined to grow up faster than anyone imagined.
