Around here, most parks have posted signs saying don't feed the geese.

The different places I've lived don't mind if you feed ducks, but once geese come in it's been a whole different ball of wax.  Mainly because the geese can become very territorial, especially if there are young ones involved.  Several places I've lived the geese at the public lakes or water areas were known to attack people.  I was shocked and terrified that they had Izzy feeding the geese and was just cringing waiting for one of them to start biting or snapping at Izzy.

What's up with Derick's pit stains?

OMG.  I had just done a quick scan of the photos but went back to see his shirt.  Gaack!  I'm not even sure how that is humanly possible.  Jill put down the phone and grab some laundry detergent, oxyclean, bleach and everything else.  Shudders.

Is that a new table?  I thought the one they had for #besteverhubby made dinner and the one at Izzy's birthday was square.  Looks like this table didn't come with chairs though since Jill is using a footstool, but I'm glad to see they have both boys at the table and Izzy isn't in a high chair.

LOL...I had to go back as well...I had assumed someone was picking on a sweat stain on one of the shirts he was wearing in the videos, and was ready to actually defend him (or her) because, heck, pit stains happen while you are out and about. And while part of me was glad (in that sort of schadenfreude- related way) that I didn't have to stick up for them, ACK! Again, Jill, how difficult is it, when posting something which has the potential to be seen literally around the world, to actually take a quick look to see whether everything is at least moderately presentable??

Would you post that pit stain photo here, please.  I can't find it.

It's in the set of photos of Sammy at 11 months. Scroll through - there are a few of them

Am I missing something, because I thought Sam was seated appropriately in the cart. 

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, crib bumpers ARE a no-no. Although the information they included as to why made sense, I was initially surprised. I thought bumpers would protect the baby from accidentally banging his/her head against the side of the crib.

Izzy looks like he is playing Bingo - maybe to teach letter matching? But in the background, I noticed that there are several drawings depicting seven days - I think it's supposed to represent the creation of the earth?

Izzy is in the back. I personally don't have an issue with it, millions of moms put a child back there every day, but you really aren't supposed to. Honestly though, it's because people don't watch their kid and then the child stands up or tries to climb over the side and the cart can tip. Or, you know, you could watch your kid, keep them sitting, and lift them in and out.

Wow.   My daughter graduated with her class last night. There was an error, and one honors student was called by his previous name. There was an audible gasp and he declined to stand for acknowledgement. They did catch themselves when they had the kids walk for their diplomas and called the correct name. 

It amazes me and gives me hope to see how open and accepting this next generation is.

I was referring to that post of hers from a while ago of her "stroller/car seat hack" ;)

Crib bumpers are a no-no but every damn bedding set I looked at pregnant included them.  I think some are technically made of a breathable fabric that skirts the line between okay/not okay.  I didn’t use them, but have friends who did.

I wish more grocery stores would embrace the double seat carts.  Although Izzy is going to be way too big to sit in the front anyways.

This is revolting. Derick isn't cute, and this isn't cute. He's jealous of his kids and the attention they receive, and I think that this is a passive-aggressive swipe at Jill and the things she thinks are important. I don't have a lot of respect for Jill or her life choices, but I didn't marry her either.

Not a Duggar fan, but I think the “351 months” picture is hysterical. Made me laugh.

Well, yeah, that was a total death trap for him, but someone else asked about Sammy in the front of the cart. 

Yes, I know, but my phone (which would not quote properly) didn't :) I was referring to the below:

When I see parents putting out this volume of socia media posts each day, I can't help but wonder whether they're managing to be "present" with their children in the midst of all the important work of planning SM posts. I know great parents  (my own DD included) who take quite a few photos and videos during the course of a day, but they don't share all of them with the public and they often wait till the child is napping or whatever to curate their pics and decide what to post. Jill and Derick might want to consider waiting for these quiet moments since their posts always look so half-assed.

Wait up...which bridesmaid gave Jill her dress? I ask because that dress was from JILL'S wedding. Jill herself was in that horribly ill-fitting wedding gown. 

I think it's probably Joy's dress. She was pretty busty and bigger than her sisters. Jinger, Jessa, and Jana were really skinny then.

My guess is Anna's because she had the longest add-on white lace modesty ruffle.  Or Jill told Jana she wanted more lace added because she is even more modest.
