Those who tuned into 19 Kids and Counting practically watched Jessa Duggar and her 18 siblings grow up on their screens. In the family's spin-off series, Michelle and Jim Bob's fifth-born child courted and eventually married Ben Seewald. Viewers even watched as Jessa and Ben welcomed their first three kids, Spurgeon, Henry, and Ivy, before the TLC show was canceled in 2021.
Fast-forward to today, and Jessa continues to keep fans updated via social media. (She and Ben have also welcomed two more children, Fern and George.) Recently, the busy mom of five shared a photo of her two oldest kiddos — and followers couldn't believe how grown up her sons looked.

Jessa posted a new photo of Spurgeon and Henry looking so grown up.
Jessa took to Instagram on May 4 with new photos of her sons, Spurgeon and Henry. "These two— best buds! ," she captioned the sweet snaps showing the brothers smiling and posing together in their kitchen. "Can’t believe they’re 8 & 7 years old already!"
In the comments, fans marveled over how big the boys had gotten.
Jessa's Instagram followers were flabbergasted by how much Spurgeon and Henry had grown, and they let her know in the comments.
"They are adorable. I can’t believe it either," one person wrote. "I remember when they were born. God bless them."
Another Instagram user commented, "HOW are they THIS BIG????? They are so handsome!!!!❤️❤️"
"Spurgeon is getting so tall and grown up! I remember when he was born ❤️," another fan gushed.
Meanwhile, someone else exclaimed, "Wow! Don’t seem possible. They’ve gotten so big. Time is flying by."

Fans also pointed out which son looked like which parent.
In the comments, folks also shared who each boy resembled the most.
"Spurgeon is Ben with your eyes!" one person wrote.
Others declared that Spurgeon was Jessa's "mini me" or her "twin."
Someone else commented, "Spurgeon looks so much like you but Henry favors your momma!! Do you think so as well? This is the first time I’ve seen it though."
Jessa understandably went MIA for a bit on social media after welcoming her fifth child.
On December 19, 2023, Ben and Jessa welcomed baby No. 5, a son they named George. The busy (and likely exhausted) mom didn't post much on her Instagram grid from that point until March. So fans were delighted by her most recent sprinkling of photos and videos.
Recently, Jessa also posted a video featuring daughter Ivy.
In a clip Jessa posted via Instagram on May 2, her daughter, Ivy, almost 5, meticulously put carrots into a juicer. The former TLC star wrote in overlain text on the video: "I used to feel the need to get out of the house for at least a bit every day. But something has changed in me and I no longer feel that way. Now I can't get enough of HOME. With my favorite little people in the whole wide world."
