Parents Were Stunned After 8-week-old Daughter Stood Up By Herself by jumia1: 11:06pm On May 19, 2020
A dad says his baby learned to stand at eight-weeks-old - after she was inspired by watching him view strongman clips on YouTube.

Tezra Finn-Johnston, 31, and girlfriend Emily Derrick, 23, first noticed their daughter's strength when they left hospital.

They say at that early stage she was able to support her own head.

She 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.

Now 15-weeks-old, Lula is able to stand unassisted, supporting her own weight.

Tezra and Lula have been watching strongman clips on Youtube and think she might have been inspired.

The first-time dad from Kingswood, Bristol said: "When she was about a month old, she was having a tantrum and I tried to sit her on my knee to calm her.

"Instead of sitting down, she just stood on my knee and wouldn't bend her legs.

"She did it a few more times later on in the weeks - eventually I thought well if she can do it while she's annoyed, maybe she can do it when she's happy.

"I tried to hold her and supported her, and she managed to take her own weight.

"Everyone seems to think that it's unusual that she can hold herself up, even just sitting, let alone standing.

"I asked my mum - I'm one of four, and none of my siblings could hold their weight at her age.

"From everything I'm reading, it should be about nine months to a year that they should be able to support their own weight."

The pair first noticed this when they brought Lula home from the hospital, five days after she was born.

Tezra said: "Pretty much from the day we left hospital she was able to support her head a little bit more than we thought she should be able to.

"She was holding it up for a few seconds and that shouldn't be for a few weeks, but pretty much straight away she was able to do that.

"Then we watched this Babies documentary on Netflix and on there they said babies are inherently programmed to crawl from birth.

"So I put her down on the mat and she was trying to crawl a bit.

"Then I put my arm behind her and she was able to push herself up the mat - propelling herself from my hand with her legs.

"She can also do it lying on her front as well.

"We noticed that and she was able to do that first time, so that was impressive.

"I'm just assisting her in doing what she likes doing - the first time we did it, she smiled at me.

"It's like she's showing off - she looks at you and smiles, it's like she's trying to be a big girl!"

Tezra is a big fan of strongman competitions, regularly watching videos on Youtube.

He claims Lula looks engaged when they watch the videos together - he jokes she might have been inspired by these to train herself.

Tezra thinks another reason for her strength might be a good muscle-to-weight ratio, based on the fact she was a small baby at birth.

One more might be her genes - Tezra stated that he's always been able to build muscle quickly.

Tezra said: "I don't advise other people to try this with their baby, but I watched Babies on Netflix and in there I just got a few ideas from that really.

"I've just always enjoyed being strong.

"When I was about 13, I started doing weight training and arm-wrestling - I was able to beat adults.

"Since then I just took up the weights.

"I just really enjoy being strong - not so much fit, but more the strength side of it.

"I've always been interested in lifting as heavy as I can.

"Only recently, since they've had Youtube, I've started watching some of the strong men on their private channels.

"Eddie Hall, they call him The Beast - he was the World's strongest man 2017 and he's got his own Youtube channel, so I've been watching that.

"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!'"

Meet the prince of Saudi Arabia who has been in a coma for 15 years. The young prince had an accident in his car while driving in London in 2005. He was just 18 years old. He had gone to London to study at the military college.

The accident knocked him unconscious since then. He’s been in this bed of coma in a specialized hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Doctors had many diagnoses for his rare case but were unable to bring him back to his normal life.

In 2015, doctors decided to disconnect the devices/life support machines but his father refused the suggestion in the hope that a miracle would occur and wake up.
In 2017, his health condition had severely deteriorated but his family kept their son under doctors’ care. It’s worth mentioning that the prince is a member of the Saudi royal family; he is the full-brother of Prince Al Waleed bin Talal.

His father once said, “Allah who saved his soul for more than a decade now is able to bring him back to life.

Sometime a year back, an unexpected surprise occurred when the prince moved his head from the right to the left side and back. This was like a glimmer of hope for the royal family and a sign for the prince’s stable health state. May God restore him back to life.
