What to Know
Since Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle has pulled back from social media and public life following oldest son Josh Duggar’s 2021 conviction, fans haven’t seen much of their youngest children, especially the ones who still live in their family home. But after catching a glimpse of a 16-year-old Josie in a new Instagram video, people can’t get over how grown up she is — or how much she looks like her mom these days.
Josie can be spotted in Jana’s latest update.
Earlier this week, Jim Bob and Michelle’s oldest daughter, Jana, shared a video showing her newborn son Archie’s first road trip back to Arkansas to meet her side of the family. The video included plenty of shots of him snuggling with his many aunts and uncles, and that includes Josie, who can be spotted holding baby Archie in one of the shots. Considering how often Josie has had the chance to welcome new nieces and nephews over the years, it makes sense that she’d already a total pro!
Fans can’t get over how much she looks like her mom.
The comments are flooded with messages from fans who had to point out how much Josie is starting to look like mom Michelle these days now that she’s a teenager.
“Josie looks just like her mother!!!!” one of Jana’s followers wrote, while another person replied saying that at first, they thought that Josie was Michelle in the video.
Another added, “Josie looks so like your mother!”
Somehow, the youngest Duggar baby is now a teenager.
It’s wild to see how much Josie has grown up after many fans were there to watch her come into the world on 19 KIds & Counting and even remember watching the family’s reality show in the years before she was born. And then, after following along with her journey as a preemie in the NICU? It makes sense that fans are still rooting for her after all of these years.
“Josie is so big!! She was the baby and now she gets to snuggle the babies. This is so sweet,” one commenter wrote before offering Jana congratulations on her first baby, while another wrote, “Jana he is so strong with his little head. Josie is way too grown. I love seeing ALL the Duggar sisters.”
The time really does fly by. Before Jana knows it, Archie will be 16 like her sister!
