Thank heavens she tweets, so I can see the pics. THE CHIN IS ALL JESSA! Holy shit. What baby has such a pronounced chin before it's two months old???

Actually, my cousin's kid did! My cousin and her bio half-sister both have very prominent cleft chins. M's daughter had it at birth. They're like Jay Leno but with a cleft chin (or a face ass, as Chandler called it). 

[Sew Sumi]

So, a round-faced Ben with Jessa's chin? I'm kinda like that, and my face looks huge even when I'm skinny. Poor kid. 

And where are all the girly movies while basketball is going on? I'm watching the hoops, but I know I'm an outlier. :)

@Arwen Evenstar If you're willing to shell out a few bucks, you can rent it. I don't see it on any listing out for a few days. Not willing to search further. BUT IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY! 

It certainly is!  If you've got Netflix, it's available there.

[Love2dance]

Awwwww, Ima sucker for chubby little baby cheeks. 

[MichaelaRae]

I have a soft spot for the grumpy old man babies. You can have your Gerber jar candidates. I'll take the chubby baby that looks like a senior citizen got shrunk down to pocket sized. ;-)

That baby looks like no one to me!  Just himself. Time will tell I guess.

There are several curious things about that situation of Jim Bob and Michelle getting guardianship of Tyler.  For one thing, they got him because they told the court that Tyler's mother, Michelle's niece Rachel Hutchins, was homeless.  Why didn't they take the 23-year-old mother into their home, too?

Rachel, who had the 8-year-old boy as an unmarried teenager, was also in trouble with the law.  What did she do?  She got a felony conviction for breaking and entering a business and stealing a small pocket knife and $2 in change.  What was the business?  A towing company.  By coincidence, John David owns Duggar Towing, which is in the warehouse facility on Jim Bob's property next to the Duggar home.  Can you imagine any business pursuing felony charges for a $2 theft?  Only one with ulterior motives.  Jim Bob and Michelle used this against Rachel in court to prove that she was an unfit mother.  Rachel is on a three-year probation for the crime.

Tyler was living with his grandmother, Michelle's sister Carolyn.  Carolyn had a stroke and could no longer care for him, so Jim Bob and Michelle stepped in.  They wanted to adopt him but only got temporary guardianship.

 

I'm sure the grandma (pre stroke) would have agreed to have her daughter live with her if it was workable. I suspect the reason why the boy lived with grandma and why the mom did not is also the reason why the boy now lives with the Duggars and the mom does not.

Just like everybody else. 

Also -- there's a horror movie hidden somewhere in that concept, probably.

Yeah, I hate that the child is living with the Duggars and think there are suspect motives at play,  but I'm not going to judge them not for taking in his mother, not without knowing all the details. She sounds like a hot mess and typically bringing someone like that into your home does not end well. There are a lot of scenarios where I would take in the child of a relative but the kid's parent(s) would not be welcome until I was convinced they were getting their shit together.

Yes, but the rest of the Duggars give that countenance to the rest of the world for being inferior to them; I'd like to think H. Wilburforce is making that face to his mom... I took it more as a "get me out of this family" grimace.

I'm rooting for this kid and hope he has a good life, because the TLC $$ is going to be long gone when he grows up, but dang. That's a Josh Face if I've ever seen one. Maybe he's just really smug that he's about to let out a huge poop. 

[rue721]

Does he have really bad gas all the time or something? I've never seen a more uncomfortable looking baby.

In every picture I've seen, he looks like he's uncomfortable or outright in pain.

[Arwen Evenstar]

I imagine the very idea of living with the Duggars would make most people choose rehab instead. Listening to the helium voice of Xanaxia and watching her being mauled by Boob -- just that alone would send me running for the hills.

Besides, Tyler's mom would have likely been too much of a negative influence and too hard for Boob to control. 

Cousin Famy was regarded as a bad influence for far less.

Just occurred to me that "and Tyler" maybe should be added to the Howler topic?

And wait until later, when poor old Spurgie introduces his little brother as "Wilberforce" every time he gets a chance. 

I think giving Henry only the crazy middle name while awarding Spurgeon the WORST FIRST NAME EVER is asking for a lifetime of Spurge-initiated battles. I know I'd resent the heck out of kids in the family with halfway normal names, if I were Spurgie. (who can't even produce a nickname that's less than absolutely horrible....child sounds like a disgusting disease symptom, no matter whether you use Spurgeon, Spurgie or Spurge.)

I think the baby looks perfectly fine, a little fat (I guess I'm fat shaming a baby). I see a baby who's going back to sleep, and please Do Not Disturb.   

this is a cyst:

They didn't take her into their home for one reason...she had a child out of wedlock and that's the worst sin someone can commit in their dysfunctional view of the world.

I think he looks fine physically, too. He's a chubby infant, but that's no sign of anything out of the ordinary. 

It does crack me up that the Duggar Smug Mug appears to be so innate, that a one month old INFANT has already mastered it.

This. If they'd taken her in, she would've spent 24/7 trying to seduce Jimb Bob or Josh. *VOMIT* Because no woman can resist flaunting herself before their manliness. If he can't handle a waitress who is being paid to ask him if he wants some onion rings, how on earth could he handle an actual woman in his own household who has had premarital sex AND no headship. *VOMIT AGAIN* She's clearly a rebellious harlot. He probably would have shamed the innocent baby, too.

I love that little Wilber already has an "eff this shit" face. Poor little guy, it's just getting started.

I'm guessing by the time Hank is 6 months old Jessa will decide to nurse until he is much older to try and avoid another pregnancy. Reality is probably already setting in; two is much harder than one.

Ben changes the diapers.  And seriously, Jessa has one word to say about sad baby?  Henry.  That is it. When she goes on and on about how wonderful it is to have Spurge?  Obviously not her favorite.  She likes the "pretty babies, just like meeee."

Well, Ben wanted that name, so let him deal with the angry diapers.

Jessa's got herself a speaking engagement about being fashionably modest. It's not cheap; I wonder how much they're paying her? No husbands or children under 9 allowed. That won't stop her from putting Ben and her kids onstage with her, like the Southern Women's shows.

This is the week after Ben's speech with Voddie Baucham and Friends. Two Saturdays that Joy won't be getting married.

From the website: ' Come hear first hand why Jessa has taken the road to modest living, while being directed by Gods word.'  So, the 'road to modest living' is paved with duck lipped selfies and belly button popping maternity tops? Interesting.

Sorry, but I've never seen Jessa wear anything that could be remotely considered "fashionable."

I was thinking the same. He has that weird orangey-yellow Trump skintone. I'm hoping it's just bad lighting. 

Regarding Jessa, excuse me while I puke at the thought of her giving a seminar on "fashionable modesty." That woman is neither fashionable nor modest. They should have hired Alyssa or Erin Bates to give a lecture on how to look cute without all your cash and prizes hanging out.

Jinger would've been a better fashionably modest choice.

[doodlebug]

Anyone live near Cincy?  Middletown, the site of this sure to fascinate speech, is very near there.  It's around 3 hours or so from my home.  However, I wouldn't pay 20 cents to see Jessa speak let alone 20 bucks. 

Does anyone really think that someone will pay $25 on the day of admission for this?

They do have vendor spots available for the day, perhaps I can book one and bring some literature on contraception from Planned Parenthood.

My thoughts, precisely! She's only a smidge less frumpy than Jill most of the time. And when she's knocked up, like @doodlebug said, she's thrusting out her bump in cheap size 2 tees, immodestly showing off every curve of her boobs and protruding belly button.

Jessa would looks so much prettier if she cut her hair to just above boob level. That extra eight inches of length makes her hair looks so unkempt and scraggly.
