HELP! Unknown plant or ‘weed’ in new lawn

Hi, im really stumped as to what this plant is called. Ive just done a lawn reno from seed where i killed off the previous lawn in august but then i couldnt do the lawn straight away because of all the rain in which as i did this new lawn theres loads of clusters of these thick round (coffee bean shaped) leaf plants sprouting up all at once in the lawn.

ive tried using that plant scanner app and it couldnt identify it, no one I know has ever seen it before… idk whether its because its a young plant? Like a seedling rather than its mature version which is recognisable but its doing my head in so please can someone help me out and identify this plant thats growing in my new lawn… thanks

 

ive added 3 photos, one is from a few weeks ago and the other is just the other day with a close up.
