Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House

[Obsidian]

Come on, people. We're teasing the Duggars for only having tomato sauce products as their vegetable intake when they also eat pickles!

I think if Henry could figure out how to give the finger he would.

I think he already looks like the original Henry Wilberforce - the drug addict who converted to Catholicism from Protestantism.

 I think they also eat canned green beans with vinegar, don't they? At least Jill did, once.

I saw this, and immediately thought the Duggars will be thrilled.

That looks absolutely disgusting. Right up the Duggars' alley. 

[SMama]

Maybe it's not that bad. I saw a pea popsicle for the first time in China. Bought one on a lark, and found it surprisingly tasty. I had my last one at the airport on our way home. I might be dumb enough to try the pickle one.

Actually, looks pretty good to me! I expect they're all over it or something quite similar in Japan. ... the rest of East Asia too, maybe. And I've found out I have a weakness for a lot of those crazy pickled snacks that Asian countries like. Probably because my particular taste buds are overwhelmed and annoyed by too much sweetness. Different strokes. 

[lookeyloo]

So funny.  My now grown son used to make pickle juice cupsickles to take to his brother's baseball games and give them away.  He always had takers.  They were kids.

Those will be a huge hit at sports events in the heat. Salt intake has become a much bigger deal as doctors begin to understand hyponatremia (low sodium/too much water) better.

Yes, they are a big hit with athletes.  When I would do 4+ hours of road cycling, on our lunch break everyone would want pickles or do a shot of pickle juice.

A new grumpy baby picture has emerged.  This is grumpy with Ben's mom:

 

[dargosmydaddy]

He looks less grumpy and more like he's trying to say, "Please save me!"

He looks a bit like Spurgie there. 

[Sew Sumi]

I think that's Ben or Spurgie. That pic was in his Mother's Day message to Guinn. The hair is also too dark for Grumpy Baby, who is basically bald, but what little hair he has is really light.

I wonder how Guinn feels about her son, barely out of his teen years, with two children, and no job. As a mother, it scares the hell out of me.

 That definitely looks like Spurgeon to me – I think I remember the orange striped pants.

They are cute pants.  The full-on eye contact is cute too.  

[Sew Sumi]

Coming back to this, I bet this was Mother's Day last year. Spurge is about the right size. 

[Mollie]

As it turns out, that picture Ben posted was taken in December, 2015.  So, yes, it is Spurgeon.  I guess the Seewalds didn't drive to Hot Springs to see Ben's mom on Mother's Day, which is what I presumed at first.

[SMama]

Why should they visit his mother on Mother's Day. That is the one day of the year Ben removes his lips from Boob's buttocks, and firmly attaches them to MEchelle's. 

[GeeGolly]

Michelle has been treated as if everyday is Mother's Day for the past 2 decades. Once Jessa became a mom I think that cancelled out all other moms. How dare any of us encroach on Jessa's special day.

Instead of the cap shielding his eyes from the sun, it shields his neck so that he doesn't become any more redneck than he already is.

Mollie, did you make that up?????  So funny! (I've been on vacation, thus the late reply)

[Guest]

I had a feeling that wasn't Henry. Spurge was much cuter than Henry at his age.

Yes.

I finally figured out who Ben reminds me of when he wears his cap backwords.  Anyone recognize the picture?

 

[Marigold]

Ben is like a puppy, nipping around at everyone's legs, trying to get attention.

 He just tries too hard and it's really obvious. Painfully obvious. 

[xwordfanatik]

Is it just me, or does Bin look stoned during the talking heads?

I wouldn't blame him, actually.

Ben will be 22-years-old on May 19, and hasn't matured at all since he was 18 and first courting Jessa. (He still looks the same, too.)

He speaks for himself when he talks about "Me and John David" working for Jim Bob:

[xwordfanatik]

It's probably exhaustion, then.  A new kid every year would do that, plus working for Boob.  

He does look the same!

He does. I think it's actually related to sinus and allergy issues. He appears to be a mouth breather, so his mouth is always slack and his eyes are allergy irritated eyes. And when he talks he sounds like a mix of a stoner with cotton mouth, a slow kind of surfer dude and a guy with a stuffy nose.  

Not mocking anyone with sinus/allergy issues. My hubby has suffered his whole life, surgery and all. And although my husband on occasion sounds like one of the above, rarely if ever does he sound or look like a stoner surfer dude with a stuffy nose all at the same time.

... and my husband is an intelligent independent man.

Re Grumpy Baby's really light hair - I noticed that in a new video Jessa has of him sucking a pacifier (on her Instagram, I think). His head is almost a perfect egg and he doesn't appear to have any eyebrows or eyelashes. I wonder if he's going to have white-blonde hair when it starts coming in.

Oh Dear.

You're right: 3-months-old and no eyebrows.  But, Grumpy Baby is still rockin' a Winston-Churchill double chin and receding hairline.

BWAHHHH!!!! As I was paging down your post, all of a sudden Grumpy's giant pale bald Winston Churchill head started creeping into view.  I was imagining an accompanying soundtrack from "2001 A Space Odyssey."

Wowza... that's all I can say about this picture

[GeeGolly]

Below is Jessa at probably 18 months or so. Henry is looking more like her everyday. The eyes, the nose, the lips, the (fat hidden) chin ...

Henry has a little more baby fat and the endless forehead without any hair yet, but I think he looks a lot like his Momma.

Early 1994. Jana would have been 4. Plenty old enough to have sewn those dresses. /sarcasm

[EmeraldGirl]

Oh I just think Henry is straight up fug. It's ok, I had an ugly baby too. He outgrew it by about 6 months and became a cherubic blue-eyed blonde angel. But holy crap those first few months with a Popeye squint and acne!

At least the Lost Littles get cute (but hot) leggings under their dresses instead of pantaloons!!!

[MunichNark]

He is very unattrative, but he's a baby. I'm pretty sure he will grow out of it.

I find that I don't like the sound of Jessa's voice. It always sounds......I don't know, smug? Amused distanced? Like she is above everything...

[Lunera]

Generic b-day message for Bin. Since when does he work or lead Jessa. 

[BitterApple]

Um, yikes. Henry has the most unfortunate shaped head. It's much better to be an "ugly baby who turns into a good looking adult" rather than vice versa, but that poor kid just can't seem to get over the hump.

Indeed. Also, to have a "ministry mindset," you'd need a mind. Not convinced that Bin would qualify. 

[Oldernowiser]

Actually, in their religion having a mind would be a distinct liability. Cause having a mind means thinking, which might lead to analyzing, which might lead to questions!!! 

Oh, the humanity!!! Will no one think about the children????

In this, Bonehead Ben is definitely their boy.
