I saw this photo a few weeks ago. This picture was definitely not taken this week or last week.

Thoughts on those two pics:

1. At first glance, it looked like "Si's" shirt either had marijuana leaves or a hand giving the middle finger.

2. "Si" is getting very bottom heavy, he is definitely a pear shape.

If he actually worked out...he'd have a nice backside.

 I scrolled by quickly over the picture and could’ve sworn it was a woman ‘till I went back and looked.  The man boobs and big ass aren’t going to age well.  He’s in his early 20s! 

[emma675]

I'd say he's on his way to being a solid b cup, at this point. Better get a man bra now, Si, or those things won't be as perky in a few years!

[Barb23]

The V-neck shirt doesn't help either. 

[Tasya]

Their baby is interesting looking.

He’s growing some man boobs. Oops people already mentioned it. Interesting nip situation.

This pic could've been taken yesterday.....their style never changes.

Is that Jackson sitting in a too-small umbrella stroller?

And they still liked cousin Amy!!!

I think that's Jackson in stroller. 

For once Jana isn't holding a baby.

Did they get dressed up like that to stay home?

Let’s hope so! I’m thinking they got all dressed up only for the likes and leg-humper comments on social media picture and are having church online (I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt anyway).

Is that their garage door a TTH garage door?

 Why not? I got all dressed up to stay home and have a big ol' Easter brunch as well. And I'm not even religious 😁

I think they look nice. The pink goes nicely against Josiah’s blue suit. 
 

Ive loved seeing everyone’s photos dresssed up in their Easter finest at home.

Yup. Although for JD and Abbie it looks as though they used a timer, from the way Abbie is bending over to get in the frame. Josiah and Lauren would have needed a ladder or more likely a human to get their pic.

I get dressing up at home when you have guests, or dressing a little sharper for a quiet celebration. The pumps, suit coat and tie have me thinking they're going somewhere.

[crazy8s]

I made the similar comment in the Jessa thread - who took their pics?

the are all looking at someone taking the pic.

[Westiepeach]

OMG. That baby actually has leggings on under her dress? Seriously? Sheesh.

[jcbrown]

Why on earth would you pose in front of your garage door?

Because you are a Duggar and that is the extent of your creativity.

 A 45-year-old man like Josiah should really know better. 

[GeeGolly]

Didn't Jill typically pose in front of a garage for her clothing shoots?

Like sister, like brother.

[Temperance]

This part of Lauren's message makes my spidey-sense tingle.

"I know a lot of us can’t go to church or spend this day with the ones we love like we wish to."

No one in the USA should be going to church today that I know of. It could be just away to placate their non-social distancing friends, but it sounds like maybe they did go somewhere. There were recent pictures of them at the TTH so they broke quarantine once. 

[Sew Sumi]

Yeah, who exactly is "a lot of us?" I hope she just means those whose churches wisely switched to online services. 

Too much to ask?

[DangerousMinds]

What church do they usually attend?

Probably the Caldwells'. But we don't know for sure.

Eek that’s scary, didn’t pastor Caldwell insinuate COVID was a hoax and social distancing an overreaction? Maybe they didn’t all get dressed for a computer session on the couch after all ☹️

Replying to @Nysha from the JD & Abbie thread. 
 

I agree. Being an eldest girl, although it comes it a lot of work, also comes with a lot of praise, attention and power in these fundy families. Lauren was used to being the head of her group of siblings and now among the Duggars she’s a “nobody“. I don’t think Josiah is into her the way Joe is into Kendra (no comment about his sexuality I just don’t think he’s crazy about her). I don’t see Josiah being mean to her, but I can see it being hard to live with someone who’s just “okay” with you and you’re expecting great love. 
 

I do think she is cute and dresses a hell of a lot better than most of the Duggar girls. She, Jinger and Kendra are the best dressed (not in that order though).

I also think Lauren learned early on that whining brought her parents' attention.  Being one of many causes you to find your own way for either Mom or Dad to pay you any mind.  One or both of her parents rewarded the whining, and she does it as an adult.  She is too young to realize she doesn't have to whine to get Josiah's attention, there are other ways.  It's no different than Jessa being a raging bitch.  Or Josiah as a child before it was indoctrinated out of him.  You gotta do what you gotta do in order to get a sliver of your parents' attention.  It takes years to unlearn, and that is after you have an epiphany about why you behave that way.  I don't see Lauren ever having that epiphany.

I try not to comment on how babies look but poor Bella seems to have inherited the large Duggar head & forehead. More noticeable on the 2nd picture of the top ones & definitely in the Easter picture where she is looking down.  Hoping she will have bangs when she gets older to make her forehead less noticeable.  

ETA:  I usually love bald headed babies (I was one myself) but there's something about Bella that makes me skeevy. It may just be the large head & forehead. 

OK, I'll show myself to the Prayer Closet for picking on babies looks. I'm hoping there's a good Jesus jigsaw puzzle to work on while I'm there as they have been my go to during the quarantine.

Looks to me like she's her daddy all over again.

On the contrary, people who insist on calling it Resurrection Day will tell you that they're the ones keeping the focus on Jesus. The word Easter does have its roots in ancient Paganism. I'm just saying, I think they're being consistent on this one point.

Yep it's a real holier than thou move, really. 

[GeeGolly]

Josie Bates has Willow in little plain brown moccasin type shoes. I'm guessing Bella will be wearing them any day now.

[BitterApple]

Bella's a sweetheart, and Lauren's home always looks so bright and clean. It's a refreshing change from Jessa's hovel.

[VioletWitch]

[doodlebug]

Bella is a pretty baby and Lauren is certainly better at staging photos than the rest of them.  Her house is light and bright and inviting in her pics.

[GeeGolly]

Huh, Bella has blue eyes and Lauren's eyes look to be brown. Do most of the Duggars have blue eyes?

I think Lauren's eyes look like they're maybe gray or hazel.  It is genetically possible for brown eyed parents to have a blue eyed child, though.  My sister and brother in law both have brown eyes.  Among their 3 kids; 1 had hazel eyes, 1 is brown eyed and 1 has bright blue eyes.

JB and Mechelle both have blue eyes, it appears, so chances are that most, if not all, of their kids do too.

There are at least 6 genes that determine eye color, there is also a genetic issue called variable penetrance.  Those things combined give a wide variety of possible eye colors.  It even causes some people, like actress Jane Seymour, to have two different colored eyes.

I wonder if Jane Seymour wore tinted contact lenses while acting. I never noticed her eyes until I saw her on the cover of a magazine.

She’s also a baby- dont a lot of Caucasian babies have blue eyes when they are infants and their eye color change?. How old is Bella these days? I think she’s younger than 9months so pretty young still.
