It looks like Jess put some mascara on sleepy boy's lashes.  I wonder if Gothard would approve of that.

Boys often have thicker, longer lashes than girls.

That said, with all their talk on gender roles and Dreck's transphobic tweets, putting mascara on spurgiie would really be hypocritical.

She did put his hair in a bun...

[Catlyn]

Spurgie's lashes look natural to me. My nephews also had long and thick lashes. Some stranger even asked if my sister put false eyelashes on her eldest. One of the few tomes she was struck speechless, until later that is...

[BitterApple]

I think the Spurge's lashes are real, but Jessa definitely filtered the picture. His natural skin is very rosy, and he looks waxy in that picture. 

[ariel]

I think it looks like Jess put some eyeliner above the lashes or Photoshoped the lashes/eyeliner.  I think she is vain enough to do that.

[yogi2014L]

Out of all the speculation about everything with the Duggars, I find this to be the most bizarre!

I highly doubt Jessa put eye makeup on her baby, FFS! He just has nice dark lashes, and she might have filtered the pic a little which could make them look darker.

Yeah...... you think anyone can put mascara and/or eyeliner on a one year old without it being EVERYWHERE? Mkay.

Besides, there are pictures out there where Ben clearly looks like he's wearing false eyelashes, and I doubt he is.  (I'm on my phone or I would post one.)

[DangerousMinds]

Who feels the need to filter a picture of a baby?

[lascuba]

People filter all sorts of pictures. Make it warmer, cooler, sepia, b/w, whatever. It's really not a statement on vanity. Think of your favorite photography blog...I promise they edit and filter the hell out of their pictures. 

[truebluesmoky]

Everyone filters everything on Instagram always. This is for sure a non-issue.

[Sew Sumi]

Jessa's been hanging around Pinterest again.

Weird, I still see the post.

Little hand elephants are pretty cute.

Yep  That has Pinterest written all over it.

That's a Pinterest win. Super cute!

I wonder if Bin might be the "artist" here - adding the white and black touches to the elephants, and the grass and clouds

I'm totally stealing it for my art club kids at school.  They'll have a ball with it.

Jessa's been a busy little Instagram bee the past day or so...

Henry, six months

[Arwen Evenstar]

Henry looks like he just crapped his pants and it's about to get cold. Spurgie is such a living doll. Such a happy baby.

[BitterApple]

Spurgeon is so cute. He looks exactly like Jessa.

[Marshmallow Mollie]

That's nice of Jessa to include a picture of Ben's sister holding Henry. 

[xwordfanatik]

Sorry to say, cute S. Elliot has dried snot in his nose.  He must not have had the couch nearby to leave it.

Seriously, they are very cute little kids.  Grumpy baby is still grumpy, and I love that expression.

Jess is slipping.  It looks like she didn't take the time to put eye makeup on Spurge or at least photoshop it.

[SMama]

Jessa is the self appointed guardian of the gravy train. She must resent Derick for his comment, now she has to divert attention. 

[louannems]

Looks like Henry has a little cut up on his forehead.

[Rabbittron]

I remember my mom doing the hand elephant with me and my brothers and sister in the 80s and 90s

Six month compare/contrast.

[Arwen Evenstar]

Cute. I'm such a sucker for pudgy baby hands and feet. Spurgie had almost a full head of hair, and Henry  is still as bald as a cue ball. But, Jessa has certainly done a very good job of keeping her boys clean, well fed, and happy.

Jana has & she should be commended on that. Now she has to get to work & keep that mold house clean.  Cinderella has a lot on her plate.

[floridamom]

Henry still looks like Anna's father, Mike Kellar, to me.

Jessa: Look people. I get you think we're assholes. I get you want us off TV. But look, ignore the others. I'm just a regular mom with cute babies. Look at the babies. Pay no attention to the adults.

Dear Jessa:

Your babies seem nice, but there are a bunch of babies on reality TV.  So no go there.

Your husband has kept his fire and brimestone thoughts to himself lately, so that's a point for you.  But your a---hole brother in law has pissed everyone off in a huge way.  He called out someone ON YOUR OWN NETWORK for her transgender show.  Not cool, Jessa.  Not cool.  Have you looked at the TLC facebook lately?  People really don't care about the umpteen babies at this moment in time.  

I would strongly suggest you hide your Ahole BIL's phone for awhile.  Babies are not going to make this go away.

Good try, though!!

And the aunties that keep these kids clean & well feed so I can put on lots of makeup &  take selfies of me and them when a controversy with my family comes up.  We're cute & special & Jesus loves us.

I can't help myself because most of the pictures are cute and typical, but ... two of the pictures bugged me. The one where Spurgie is cuddled in Ben's lap while Henry is locked in his car seat on the couch looking on. The other is where Henry is hammocked, squished, sandwiched and looks on the verge of suffocation.

Give Henry a break. From the looks on his face he was probably caught trying to get the hell out of there.

[Tasya]

I've tried to see the cuteness in Henry but it's just a no for me. He's simply an average looking baby, then again i'm not one of those people that swears that all kids are cute.

I agree, although I think Henry is one of those babies who's not super cherubic and cute during his early years but will turn out to be a good looking adult. 

[RazzleberryPie]

I think Henry is cuter. He's handsome, while Spurgie is pretty. 

[ariel]

Hmm, pictures of cute babies, does that mean some kind of new Duggar sh*t is going to hit the fan soon?

I think the Henry stuff is just a coincidence. His six month birthday just happened to occur during Jazzgate. I don't think Jessa has much use for Derelict, and only uses Jill as a free "midwife."

Jill is useless as a midwife, since her credentials aren't worth the paper they're written on. Thanks in no small part  to JB not allowing her or any of her siblings to have an education.

[Sew Sumi]

We still don't know who attended Henry's birth, but we know Jill was there. I am afraid my assessment of Jessa using Jill the "midwife" as free labor isn't that far off the mark. Or off the mark at all.

When Henry was born, you could feel the love coming from Jessa.  She couldn't wait to hold him and love on him.

She definitely feeds them well! Look at those chubby baby hands and feet!

[ariel]

I think Jana is feeding them well with infant formula .
