Jessa Duggar Stuns Fans: My Kids Are Growing Up SO Fast!

It seems not a month goes by that without some news of another Duggar birth or pregnancy. At this point, Jim Bob and Michelle have so many grandkids it can be a struggle to keep them all straight. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem as though the kids are wanting for attention. In addition to the love of their parents, the new generation of Duggars enjoys the affection of an army of aunts and uncles, as well as millions of fans all over the world. So when a milestone is reached, the occasion is celebrated not only by the family but by the entirety of Duggar Nation. And lately, there’s been so much cause for celebration coming from the Seewald household that it’s been difficult to keep up with it all. Jessa Duggar and her husband, Ben Seewald, are parents to 2-year-old Spurgeon and 11-month-old Henry . Needless to say, it’s a hectic home, and quite understandably, Jessa’s house is often a mess . By while the mother of two has been applauded for sharing candid photos of cluttered abode, it’s the achievements of her two boys that really win fans’ hearts: This week saw a handful of memorable moments, as Henry (above) stood on his own for the first time. Jessa shared photos from the big day and noted that it took place shortly after Spurgeon turned two: “We had a fun time celebrating Spurgeon’s birthday yesterday. We’re so grateful to God for this sweet little boy,” Jessa wrote on Instagram. “It has been such a joy to watch him grow and learn this past year. Can’t believe he’s already 2 years old!” Of course, they call ’em the terrible twos for a reason, and it seems Jessa has already come to accept that she’ll need to take the good with the bad: Spurgeon and Henry Seewald Fight Jessa posted the above video to Instagram earlier today along with the following explanation: “Henry tried to break apart Spurgeon’s car tracks, so big bro shouted ‘Noooo!’ Baby replied with, what sounded like, “Yeaaah!” So big bro hovered over his tracks in a protective manner and said ‘Nooo!’ again. “Ha! And so it continued. The toddler was distraught, and the baby didn’t have clue. #FirstVerbalArgument” It’s a good thing that Jessa has a sense of humor about moments like these. She’s sure to experience many more of them in the years to come. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Ben Seewald: Planning a Career in Politics?!

The question of what Ben Seewald does for a living has been on the minds of Duggar family fans from the time he was first introduced as Jessa’s suitor. The Seewalds are beloved by Counting On obsessives, but the nagging question of how Ben spends his time when he’s not filming the show (men helping with housework and child care is virtually unheard of in the Duggar clan), seems to loom large on social media. For a brief period last month, it was widely rumored that Ben had found a real job . Then the truth came out: The “job” was one-time speaking engagement at a faith-based gathering in Texas. Basically, Ben would be using his star power to help sell tickets. Not exactly hard labor. But fans who are a bit put off by Seewald’s apparent work allergy will be pleased to learn that he seems conscious of the fact that reality TV fame doesn’t last forever. And it’s likely for that reason Ben is slowly forging a career path for himself. If you follow Ben on social media, you may have noticed that his posts have become increasingly political in recent months. Here’s a recent video in which Ben is all, “Separation of church and state? I don’t think so, Founding Padres.” Ben Seewald: Only Jesus Can Make America Great! It’s clips like that that have led fans to believe that Ben might be preparing for a future in politics. Couple his web presence with the associate’s degree in political science that Ben recently earned from Arkansas’ National Park Community College, and it’s not hard to see why viewers believe they might be seeing Ben’s name on a ballot in the near future. Of course, it’s likely that not all Duggar fans will be on board with Ben’s political beliefs. Ben is more liberal than his in-laws, and has drawn criticism from the family’s far-right fan base for expressing his support for the Black Lives Matter movement and Colin Kaepernick’s decision to sit for the national anthem. In fact, it looks as though Ben would probably describe himself as a right-leaning moderate. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Pictures: Through the Years! Centrists used to be the norm in American politics, but these days they’re about as rare as unicorns. Which means that despite his fame, Ben will probably rise through the ranks about as high as the Tontitown School Board.
