My first thoughts were "his name is George? I completely forgot." and "he's only a year?!" I thought he was at least 2 or 3 by now.

I literally thought to myself just now, "There's a George?" 😂

my first thought was it was possible he could literally get TP for his birthday in an Amazon box or a pillowcase....

It beats the Rodrigues giving their daughter a diaper in a bag and what was it, a slice of pie for her birthday.

[Absolom]

I had to think and go oh yeah George is the baby.  He's a year already?

Based on the photo, I thought it was one of their girls when she was younger

My first thought was how gross that bathmat looks. Like if you aren't going to wash it regularly, maybe doing have a white one?

But yes, also completely forgot this kid existed. 😂

[ozziemom]

I feel like a picture of a Seewald kid with toilet paper is almost a right of passage. Must seem cute and funny to Jessa.

I went back to look at the bathmat…yuck.

Jessa's the queen of grime. We know there's almost no chance that she'll scar her kids emotionally by exposing them to compulsive house cleaning. 

[CalicoKitty]

I hope that child was not allowed to play by himself in the bathroom.  The bathroom is no place for an unsupervised child.  At least the toilet lid is down.  This is one room where play should not be encouraged.  But of course, neither is the refrigerator, and Jessa thought that was worth of a post.  I wonder how long before we get "The sayings of George".

And, a metaphor.....

[Quilt Fairy]

When most people post pictures like this, it involves a dog or a cat, not a baby.

People magazine put out an article this week on Jessa's family, but it's simply an old article that they updated:

[floridamom]

Why would People Magazine even bother with an old updated article on Jessa's family in the first place?

Slow news day?  Even so, they can't come up with anything new?  

[EmeraldGirl]

I think Henry is going to be a very good looking adult. Ivy and her big blue eyes are also striking. Although I remember thinking that about princess Beatrice with her big eyes and she just got more awkward looking.

It’s interesting that Jessa stopped keeping up with her looks after the babies came. Not that she’s unattractive in any way, but she just leaves that gigantic massive hair do nothing. Plus no more catch a guy shimmery make up. And with age and weight distribution from all the pregnancies her face has gotten thinner. Kind of like Angelina Jolie. She had a pretty, fuller face until she got super skinny after all the babies. I can’t believe that Jessa at her age has already had seven pregnancies.

I thought it would be a pregnancy announcement!

So did I. That would make more sense then just an update on her family. Even on a slow news day.

Or they are adopting orphaned triplets. I mean I was a bit disappointed to be honest.

[EmeraldGirl]

She wouldn’t even let anybody mess with her tangled mop of hair at Jana’s wedding. All the other girls were getting their hair and makeup done professionally, and Jessa was using a curling iron on herself. Her hair is too heavy to even hold any kind of curl, so I don’t know what the point was. 
 

I know it’s probably hard to keep up with yourself with that many kids. But Jessa seems to do the absolute minimum. I went to the bus stop every day with my kids, and at least made sure my hair and face looked OK and I was clean. I mean really, she caught the guy because she was the hot one and he was a horny teenager. I wonder what he thinks about it now.

I know Spurgeon probably won’t interact with anybody until he’s grown and either flips houses or becomes a preacher. But for the love of God, can’t they start calling him either Elliot or just plain Spur? It’s still one of the worst names I’ve ever heard. At least if Henry would’ve had to go by Wilburforce (not even going to try and fix the spelling), he could’ve been called Will. Spurge has no options.

Spug?

 

[EmeraldGirl]

Spur See. Maybe he can be a Christian rapper like that friend they had for a minute and a half.

I think Jessa was well aware from day 1, that Ben had chosen an awful name for their firstborn. I bet it will come up in arguments throughout their marriage. I don't think she let him have any say in naming the rest of their kids. She's probably angry at herself for allowing her boy/husband to name poor Spurgeon. 

[floridamom]

I wish they went with Elliott as his first name.

Elliott better matches Henry, Ivy, Fern, and George.

[EmeraldGirl]

Or just Charles Spurgeon Seewald if he was that dedicated to the guy. Charlie would’ve been cute. I wouldn’t even name a dog Spurgeon or even Spurge. 

I can see a girl being Petunia (hopefully not something like Crocus) to keep up with her plant names. Daisy is already taken by somebody, although I guess that doesn’t matter so much because there are two Evys.

On the Bates thread here, we are discussing the Stewart's lack of commitment to Zade's speech therapy...Has anyone heard how Henry's speech is coming along? I have not seen any videos from Jessa in ages. I hope this little boy is doing better in this area.

The last time I saw him speak was probably a year ago, so he would have been around 6 or 7 (sorry, I have lost track of his age). He was still not speaking appropriately for his age. It wasn't terrible, but having worked with kids in that age range, definitely lagging.

IDK, when I think of a Charlie in a cult environment, I think of Manson! 😂

Sad, but on the other hand, it’s FANTASTIC to me that they’ve kept him mostly off video during that time. The less child exploitation, the better.

I have only just watched Jana's wedding video. In her speech, Jessa mentioned that she is Jana's best friend. So much for her and Jinger being "besties forever".  So her first best friend moved away and now her new best friend has also moved away. Who will she hang out with now? Jill's obviously on the black list and Joy seems to hang out with Abbie and Austin's sisters more than the Duggars (and even Jinger when she's in town as Jeremy and Austin are new buddies too). That only leaves Anna or the lost girls for poor Jessa. Looks like she's just stuck hanging out with Ben now. Why don't I feel sorry for her? 

[Is Everyone Gone]

Jessa just has a dour, serious expression all the time. And it's kind of affected her overall look.
