Jill Duggar-Dillard has shared two home videos of her baby son Israel after her sister Jessa Duggar-Seewald revealed her newborn son Spurgeon Elliot's nickname.
Jill and her husband, Derick Dillard, welcomed their first baby, Israel David, earlier this year, and the proud parents posted home videos of their son’s progress on the couple’s official website.
Jill’s sister, Jessa, also welcomed her first child on Nov. 5, four days after her supposed due date on Nov. 1, which was her first wedding anniversary with husband, Ben. She revealed that her infant son, Spurgeon Elliot, can be called by the nickname Quincy.
In the first piece of footage, baby Israel can be seen crawling on the floor and smiling as he plays with a marker.
'You want the marker? Come get the marker,' Jill teases her baby, adding: 'You can do it!'
In the second clip, the seven-month old baby makes an attempt to climb up a chair, as Jill holds on to her little one. Patting the seat next to her on the sofa, baby Israel’s mother urges: “Come on buddy, come up here on the couch.”
The videos are shared online days after the former ’19 Kids and Counting’ star penned a letter to her younger sister after the latter welcoming her own little bundle of joy.
“Derick, Israel and I are so excited for you and Benji!” Jill wrote.
“I can’t believe you have a little one now! It was such a joy to get to be a part of the birth from Central America, thank you,” the 24-year-old reality star added. “You were a champ! I felt those contractions with you.
Finally, she expressed her excitement to share the motherhood journey together with Jessa.
Jill and Derick are currently on a long-term mission trip in Central America, where they have been staying since August. However, the Christian couple is expected to make a comeback on the small screen next month as TLC has scheduled the airing of a three-part special.
Such program, titled ‘Jill & Jessa: Counting On,’ will shed more light on Jill and Jessa months since they were recognized as child molestation victims of their older brother, Josh Duggar.
Jill and Jessa’s former reality show, ‘19 Kids And Counting,’ which also featured the other members of the Duggar family, was cancelled in July, in the wake of news about Josh’s molestation scandal.
