SO CUTE 7 Little Johnstons’ Liz Johnston shares sweet pic of baby daughter Leighton after she’s ripped for ‘dangerous’ parenting
LIZ Johnston has shared another adorable photo of her daughter Leighton Bolden for fans to see.
On Friday, the 7 Little Johnston star posted the snap on her Instagram Stories.
Liz, 21, welcomed Leighton on November 3 and announced her arrival shortly after to People.
In the cute snap, the newborn lay – whom Liz shares with her boyfriend Brice Bolden – on a soft floral pillow while wearing a white onesie with purple and orange patterns on it.
The tiny tot looked happy as she wiggled her little arms and legs while looking off into the distance.
“Cutest little fish,” Liz captioned with a fish gif at the bottom of the post.
Last week, fans called out the TLC star for her “dangerous” parenting decision at a holiday light show.
FESTIVE FAIL?
In a picture posted on social media, Liz and her family posed for a selfie in the car while at a Christmas light show at Callaway Gardens in Georgia.
Liz was seen holding her baby up to her chest while sitting in the back seat.
Taking to Reddit, some called out the new mom for not having her newborn strapped into a car seat.
“No car seat?!” one person questioned, adding: “Did they take the baby out of the car seat just for a photo op? I hope there’s a car seat back there…”
A second replied: “Calloway gardens is a drive through light show. I’m sure they are driving through without the baby in the car seat.”
“I don’t care if they are ‘driving slow,’ ‘off of the main road,’ or ‘just taking her out for a feeding.’ If you have a platform as big as they do, you DO NOT post a photo of newborn in a car not in a carseat. Period,” a third slammed.
A fourth agreed: “Omg so dangerous.”
“I’m sure the baby is fine and they are going slow but why even bother and risk it? it’s not like she is a baby or toddler who can even see and enjoy the lights… she’s still a newborn…. so odd,” another wrote.
While a few criticized Liz for the parenting decision, others mentioned that the car may have been parked or moving slowly as they went through the drive-through lights show.
WELCOME LEIGHTON!
In their interview with People, the parents couldn’t contain their excitement.
“The wait is finally over! We’re excited to introduce our baby to the world,” they told the publication.
They also shared the news with their fans on social media.
“Leighton Drew Bolden 5lbs 10oz 19 inches long of pure sweetness we couldn’t be more in love you with you!!!” their Instagram post read.
Liz’s parents, Trent,47, and Amber, 44, couldn’t contain their excitement in the comments.
“We are so PROUD to announce our grand baby is here!!!! #officiallylolliandboppa,” the proud grandparents wrote.
It included a photo of the pair embracing in front of a sign with a sonogram picture that read, “Baby Coming Nov 2023.”
Leighton is the first of the family’s third generation.
THEIR SHOW
Debuting in 2015, the family’s TLC reality series follows the Johnston clan — mom Amber, dad Trent, and kids Jonah, Elizabeth, Anna, Alex, and Emma.
The family of seven is the largest family consisting of people who share the genetic disorder achondroplasia dwarfism, which affects the limbs, per ABC News.
They have been sharing details of their lives since the show aired and refer to themselves as “the real life seven dwarfs,” consisting of “a mix of biological and adopted children from various parts of the globe,” per the Mirror.
After Jonah and Elizabeth were born (both via C-section), the Johnstons chose to start adopting.
