Joe and Kendra have joined Instagram. Josiah and Lauren made it official on their page but it's strange no Duggar is following the page.

There is a discussion of the Duggar hairline over in the Ben/Jessa thread and here it is on full display.

Right now he's cute, though, and he looks clean and well cared for.

Hey, Jill -- look at how easy it is to take a cute picture of a cute kids without a ton of rubbish in the background!

Hey Jessa -- look how easy it is to take a cute picture of a cute kid without a pile of dirty diapers!

Kendra may still be "trying to figure out how it works" but her instincts are 1000x better than her SIL's.

Hey, good-lookin'!  Nice to see you, cutie! 

I think he looks very Kendra, in some undefinable way (maybe the shape of his head?)

Cute! But...Anyone else notice one of his eyes is way bigger than the other?

People in the comments suggested he may have an eye condition. I can't think of the name, but it was mentioned a bunch of times.

Poor Kendra though. Her first post and everyone's telling her about her kid's wonky eyes. Welcome to the Internet, lol.

Right?! I liked that they stayed off social media. I am still hoping this isn’t a real account.

Well, like with Joy and JD, I DMed this account and suggested they get authorized. We shall see, I guess, but SiRen are following the account, so I lean towards real.

There's money to be made off social media! Kendra and Joe aren't making the babies fast enough to pay the bills.

Yes, that's assuming you think babies are made just like Ralph Wiggum thinks babies are made.

Well so much for my  earlier post today about how nice it is they aren't on social media. 

Garrett is a cute little guy. He looks so snuggly & cozy in that onesie, like a baby should vs the tight dress shirt & jeans that newborn baby Waller wore. 

I also noticed there looks like a difference in the size of his ears as well as his eyes.  His right ear & eye are larger than his left. Maybe part of it is the camera angle.  I do remember someone commented on what looked like Garrett's lack of head control on the picture of Joy holding Giddyup & Kendra holding Garrett but that looks fine here.  I hope everything is OK with him.

I didn't want to be the first to point it out... It does appear his eyes are noticeably different in size. I wondered why they weren't sharing pictures of him. I thought maybe they were trying to watch out for his privacy but now I think there may have been a health condition they wanted to conceal. I knew it had to be something because if these people can make a nickle with a picture, they will sell it lickity split. 

He may have glaucoma. He's a cute baby and I hope whatever it is either clears up or is manageable and doesn't hinder his health.

Well, not that I know a single thing about him, and I don't even play a doctor (or even a medical receptionist) on tv. But it looks to me like he might have a moderate case of ptosis on his left side? -- Where the musculature in your eyelid and above isn't strong enough to hold the eye fully open. I hope they've had that possibility checked out.

It doesn't look like it would block his vision. But I gather even the moderate form can have consequences over time since your eyelid's kind of lying on the eyeball in an unnatural position, so a doctor should keep an eye on it, so to speak.

I always wonder what the money situation is with the Duggarlings and what their insurance copays are and such, though.

Unless Joe has got a secret stash of condoms I doubt it.

And considering that Joe apparently voluntarily attended Clown College's how-to-be-a-better-god-botherer program, I doubt he does. That would constitute rebellion against the Lord for him at this point, I'll bet. ...

Maybe some years down the line when they've got five kids and don't know how to pay for them, that'll change, though.

Maybe it's the angle but could it be http://www.plagiocephalyflathead.com/plagiocephaly_effects.php? Basically a flathead.

He's a strikingly handsome little guy though.

We didn't seem to have that problem when my babies were born in the 1980's.  I wonder if it's because the "back to sleep" theory wasn't popular yet and our babies slept on their tummies or sides.

The three Lewis girls and their mom, Cindy, from Season one and two of "The Last Alaskans" are textbook cases of congenetial ptosis. 

This cute little guy may have some issues that he could or will grow out of.  He looks nothing like the Lewis girls.  My guess you are close to the truth and hopefully this little one has been seen by a real Doctor.

Garrett kind of looks like he has one of Joe’s eyes and one of Kendra’s eyes.  It sounds weird but my friend has one thumb that looks like her dad’s and one that looks like mom’s! 😂

Expand  

I just thought the same! It's like half his face is Joe's and the other half is Kendra's. It's especially noticeable in the pic where he's smiling.

Well bless his heart if something is wrong with his eye.  That has to be difficult for first time parents. He looks like he has his mom’s easy going personality.  

OTOH, he’s clean and appears to be well ared for.  And it could just be me, but he’s the first Duggar baby that ever looked like he has that sweet baby smell.  That soft, oatmeal cookie with extra vanilla smell that only young babies have.  I never got that impression from the other kids, even Anna’s and her kids are always clean.

Well, like all their darn babies, he's a cutie. (I don't like hating on babies as a rule, but to the extent that their cuteness is keeping this damaged and damaging family on the air....Darn these babies...)

Also now I'm convinced he has a little bit of ptosis on the left side. In the first picture, it seems clear that that eyelid doesn't quite lift all the way up the way the other one does. 

On the Finale episode with JD's wedding, Joe's proclamation for his, Kendrab, and Carrot's near future....move into a new house...

The far, far, far away from the Duggar compound was implied....

The log cabin will be the Halfway House for recent married Duggars who need a place to shack up or maybe Jana's Old Maid Spinster home.....

Jessa and her growing family should move into the log cabin so she can get close by help from her preteens sisters when the 3rd kid comes along....and maybe Bin's red rimmed eyes from the suffocating Mold House will clear up...

The Mold House is such a dump, I can't believe Jessa and Bin haven't relocated. It's small, dingy and right off the expressway. Not exactly an ideal set-up for a family of five. Of course, if Bin would get a job they could probably afford something better by now.

Please God, no. Jessa is a slob, and it would be a shame to trash the log canin. She belongs in the mold house.

Brace yourselves- I'll defend Jessa's house. It's small, but that means low utility bills, and less cleaning. It has a decent yard, and could be landscaped nicely, with room for a decent food garden. It been updated (tough by Duggars, so crap work). Jessa paid, what, $1 for it? Most people her and Bin's age, especially with (almost) 3 kids, no education, and no real jobs, can't even think of owning their own home - without even a mortgage (let alone their two cars?). Her position would be enviable, and if she were sly, she could use this new baby to get some updates, or a room added on by TLC. It's a great plotline -she could get a new master bedroom built for herself, by her construction competent brothers (ha!), while giving the new baby (maybe a girl) her old room. She could be socking away money for the day TLC abandons them, and live well frugally then, but somehow I don't see it happening.

That said, she's shitting all over that house and her situation. At least do an hour of cleaning an maintenance a day, you unemployed slob. She deserves what she gets.

I've been thinking along these lines about their little house. However, I don't see TLC or the production company spending the coin to expand the house. Just not on the cards. The Duggs may be old network regulars after all these years but they aren't TLC's shiny stars like they used to be.

As to the rest of it: yes. This is a young family. Contrary to the US real estate industry, they don't need a big four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with granite countertops or whatever the latest trend is. They can live decently in a small house, meaning less money going out for maintenance and utilities, vs. living to the limits of their means (or beyond them). I think it's admirable that they're hanging in with a small house and not blowing their money on housing.

Actually, there's a saying of good old Dave Ramsey, the conservative Christian financial guru, about living frugally while you get out of debt and build your net worth: “If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.” Meaning, when starting out, or working to get out of debt, you may live in a small unfashionable apartment while friends/relatives are taking out big mortgages for houses, but eventually you'll be able to live very comfortably, debt-free, on the financial resources you built by being frugal.

However, it's on Jessa and Bin to make the best of their house, and they seem to be falling down on that job. They appear to be dirty and slovenly as to housekeeping. And a little strange: the kids are still co-sleeping in the parents' bedroom while Bin rules the other bedroom as his study.
