In the newest episode of 19 Kids and Counting that aired on Tuesday night the littlest Duggar, Josie Brooklyn, is able to be held by her mama Michelle again.  She is a mere 2 pounds 3 ½ ounces and is 47 days old and eats about one tablespoon of breast milk an hour.

“She’s an energetic young lady,” one of the nurses tells Michelle.  This is the second time Michelle is shown holding little Josie and she couldn’t be happier.  “She’s like a baby kitten,” is how Michelle describes her daughter who has been in the hospital since her premature birth in December.  “I picture her as a precious little gift from God.  That is her nickname, my precious little kitten.”  Michelle is in the hospital with her daughter cradling her and sitting in a rocking chair.  “We are thankful to God and to those who are taking care of her,” Michelle says about the care Josie receives while in the hospital.

James is a big help to his Dad and says “I was spending time with my Dad and learning about cars.”

They filled the air in the tires of the family suburban and the pop up read “The air the entire Duggar family breathes in a single day could fill the tires of over 100 SUVs.”
