Look up mild microcephaly...looks an aweful lot like Samuals head. Makes me wonder why they haven't been more open about Samual. Its been a secret since he was born it seems. The Dillards were much more open with big brother Israel
Every picture we've seen of Samuel shows some sort of ridging of his skull. Is he OK? I know he's only 3 mo. old but I thought those skull plates moved into their proper places pretty quickly after birth. I also wonder, when I see his head, what sort of delivery story there was. Any OB nurses on board?
Hey, this family has medical professionals if they need them. This is a cute baby with loving parents, they don’t need non-professional opinions about the shape of his scull. If they don’t want to share his birth story they don’t have to. Even public figures have a right to privacy about what they share.
Both my boys both c sections both blog design and practically no hair you could see the Ridge in Thier skull plates for a long time, both over a year before it was no longer noticable. I wouldn't worry
my granddaughter inherited this odd-shaped skull from her other grandfather. She looked noticeably 'different' until her hair grew in at nearly Age 2. It was exhausting and sad that people thought it appropriate to constantly comment on her appearance, as far as to suggest she had mental issues and learning issues from the shape of her forehead. She's in Grade 1 now, and a more intelligent and beautiful child you cannot imagine. Think before you speak or write negative things about the appearance of a child; it's both hurtful and sad.
I still hope Jill & Samuel are OK. No news is good news. But from this family, it is so unusual to have such a low key attitude around the birth of a new baby.
Before the nasty messages begin.. I just want to say I love this beautiful family. I won't come back to read the ugliness.. but before you respond.. say a quick prayer.
from that angle, samuel looks just like israel at that age! like derick's dad in one of the pictures derick showed of him. thanks for posting it. haven't seen any recent pictures and i've wondered how they've been doing. they're such cute kids!
Derrick , Ben, Jeremy , always wore shorts... now the Duggar boys are wearing....they look cooler for summer....who knows , those sisters may wear too.... when they're at home with their husbands....and no camera crew around...

Lol Samuel obviously doesn't have microcephaly!
ReplyDeleteNot in the classic sense maybe but his forehead still seems odd...
DeleteOP here, yeah it does a little, but not from microcephaly. If he had that his head would be 3x smaller than the average baby.
DeleteLook up mild microcephaly...looks an aweful lot like Samuals head. Makes me wonder why they haven't been more open about Samual. Its been a secret since he was born it seems. The Dillards were much more open with big brother Israel
DeleteOh there they go again! Being all cute and kissableπ
ReplyDeleteno close up pictures of baby Samuel? Notice he doesn't have mittens on anymore.

Delete@6:16, I totally agree. Charity never goes out of style.
Deleteawwww!!! Israel and Samuel are such cute little boys!
ReplyDeleteJill and Derrick have such cute boys! They seem to be great parents too!
ReplyDeleteThey both are so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI still hope Jill & Samuel are OK. No news is good news. But from this family, it is so unusual to have such a low key attitude around the birth of a new baby.
ReplyDeleteHoping the Samuel is getting the medical attention he needs
ReplyDeleteWhat medical attention?
DeleteSo sweet of you to be concerned about him. I'm sure they're taking him to his well-baby check-ups.
DeleteFor what?
DeleteAll the babies are so precious. I love seeing pictures of all of you. I thought Anna had her baby already.
ReplyDeleteShe did. His name is Mason

ReplyDeleteThe Dillard Boys look like they are having a good time. Two boys Derick and No must be very proud of them.

ReplyDeleteAre they living in a different house ?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a rental apartment, closer to the university where Derick is involved now?
DeleteTwo beautiful brothers they can almost pass as twins!π
ReplyDeleteI agree they looks a lot a like. So cute...
DeleteI've always thought they look different, with their very own features.
DeleteYes , I guess they will always pass as twins? ! ? ! What
DeleteWhat cute, sweet boys! Good luck Derrick and Jill!:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to be mean or judgmental I'm just really wodering why Derek wears shorts? Is it considered modest? Has the family ever explained this?
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that the Duggar kids have started wearing shorts recently. Apparently they've changed their convictions a bit in that department.
DeleteIt's no different than the girls wearing dresses that come just below the knee. Nothing immodest about it.
DeleteDerrick , Ben, Jeremy , always wore shorts...
Deletenow the Duggar boys are wearing....they look cooler
for summer....who knows , those sisters may wear too....
when they're at home with their husbands....and
no camera crew around...
no
Sweet family!!!!ππ
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that Dereck wears shorts because it's hot. I've noticed that a couple of Duggar brothers were wearing shorts on an episode last season.
ReplyDeleteThis little Duggar has lost his mittens ,
ReplyDeleteand who knows if he'll find them ❓π
Cute little guyπ
