‘World’s strongest baby’ can stand on her own at EIGHT WEEKS – and was holding up her head before she even left hospital
A DAD has been left amazed after his baby daughter learned to stand at eight-weeks-old and she was holding up her head before she even left hospital.
Tezra Finn-Johnston, 31, and girlfriend Emily Derrick, 23, first noticed their daughter's extraordinary strength when they left hospital five days after birth.
Lula was born on January 31 and weighed just 5lbs 9oz and was on the 5th percentile - weighing less than five per cent of other babies her age.
But her surprised parents say at that early stage she was able to support her own head.
Now at 15-weeks-old, Lula is also able to stand unassisted, supporting her own weight.
Tezra and his baby daughter have been watching strongman clips on Youtube and he joked that she was inspired by the videos.
They may find it challenging and fall back down during this time.
Most babies walk on their own sometime between about 12 months and 17 months, but don't worry if you child takes a little longer, as each baby is different.
"Only recently, since they've had Youtube, I've started watching some of the strong men on their private channels.
"Lula sits on my knee and we both watch that, so I like to think she is training herself.”
Baby Lula isn't able to walk yet, but the parents are fearing her first step might be closer than they think.
Postwoman Emily said: "When I give her rattles and stuff to play with, she doesn't seem young enough to want them.
"She just seems a lot older than she actually is. I'm just like, 'oh don't grow up yet!'"
