TORI and Zach Roloff are celebrating the one-month birthday of newborn son Josiah.
On Instagram, the Little People, Big World stars shared some adorable snaps of their son, along with a message of love.
In the first photo, Josiah lies spread out on a blanket with numbers 1-12 printed on it, to keep track of his growth over his first year.
The “number one” is circled, as the child lays to the side.
The second photo is a bit goofier, featuring the baby sticking his tongue out and looking at the camera.

This time he is laying next to a wooden sign that says “1 month old.”
She captioned the photo: “How has it already been a month with this dude?!
“We have LOVED getting to know and love this kid, and I really do thank God every day He chose us to be his parents!”
Tori then added a “wrap up” of the first month:
“Josiah LOVES to eat and has yet to miss a meal. He loves his siblings and is so tolerant to their exuberant attention.
“Si (his apparent nickname) is starting to appreciate bath time! Josiah has longer moments of alertness and he loves to look at his family!
“He has outgrown NB clothes already!
“Nights aren’t the best but mom is trying really hard to enjoy every moment and consume extra coffee.”
She concluded the note with a message of love and laughter: “We love you Josiah!! Also ps. Thank second photo! Kid got moms extra chins and I’m herrrreeee for it.”
FAMILY HIKE
The whole family seemed to be here for it as well, as later in the day, Tori shared another photo of her, Josiah and Zach, along with son Jackson, four, and daughter Lilah, two going on a family walk.
She captioned the photo: “First family ‘hike’ under our belt.”
Josiah Luke Roloff was born on April 30th, 2022 at 9:02 am. He weighed 7 lbs 6oz and measured in at 19 1/2 inches long.
The child came earlier than expected but Mom Tori simply called the timing the “Best birthday present ever!”
Tori was born on May 3, 1991.
Zach posted a sweet message as well after the baby boy’s arrival:
“He came about two weeks early but we were ready! Super happy for our family and the kids adore him already. “Very proud of Tori as well, she has done incredible!”
JOSIAH’S CONDITION
After a month of worry and wonder, Zach and Tori finally revealed if Josiah has achondroplasia.
The couple’s two other children, Jackson and Lilah each have the condition, more commonly known as dwarfism.
In an exclusive interview with USWeekly, the proud parents shared the news of their three-month-old son’s genetic condition.
“He’s Josiah. He has achondroplasia, but he’s not, like, Josiah the achondroplasia,” Zach explained as the pair insist that the diagnosis doesn’t define the newborn’s identity.
“Just like I’m Tori, I have brown hair. I’m not a brunette — like, that’s not how I would classify myself,” Tori adds.
NORMAL LIFE
The Roloff family is very familiar with the gene mutation, as Zach, and his parents, Amy and Matt, also have dwarfism.
Tori, however, does not have dwarfism.
Neither does Zach’s twin brother, Jeremy, 32, and his younger siblings, Molly, 28, and Jacob, 25.
“It’s so normal to us. We have so many resources and there’s a lot of parents out there who don’t have the same resources, and … don’t have the same confidence in everything that Zach and I do,” Tori said about raising three children with the condition.
Zach admitted having children of their own with dwarfism is more motivation for them to use their platform to help others facing the condition.

“We will definitely be advocates for people with dwarfism cause of our kids,” Zach stated.
“Forever,” Tori added.
