Just 30 Adorable Photos Of Joy-Anna Duggar's Son Gideon To Celebrate His 2nd Birthday

Big or small, furry or not, Gideon loves animals — including his family's new pet dog. Joy-Anna took to Instagram earlier this month to share that they got a black lab puppy named Brielle.

Gideon is a typical toddler, especially when it comes to loving messes and spending time outside. Joy-Anna revealed in the caption of the photo that her son loves saying "wow" and leaving his pants unbuttoned.

Gideon loves his mama. Joy-Anna and Austin's shared Instagram account is filled with photos of Gideon showing his mom lots of love.

But that doesn't take away from the fact that he looks almost exactly like his dad. The couple's Instagram account is filled with comments comparing Gideon to his dad. People think that they're practically twins, just 20 or so years apart.

Sure, his drawings may be scribbles, but he's already an artist in the making.

He may be small, but he's smart enough to already have a favorite time of day — when his dad comes home. In a video posted to the couple's Instagram account, Gideon can be seen giggling for joy as soon as his dad walks into the family home.

I mean, what toddler doesn't love "reading," or memorizing the words to all of their favorite books and pointing at the photos?

Since Gideon has more than 19 aunts and uncles, he will quickly have to learn how to sit still for a family photo. But it seems to be that he already has the posing down pat.

Just look at how happy Gideon is to kick his bare feet back in the car. He clearly loves road tripping.

Sure, he might have put his vest on backward, but at least he has tried to dress himself.

What little kid doesn't love to be cuddled before bedtime?

Although he may look like his dad, Joy-Anna wrote on Instagram that Gideon "got his love of food" from her. His clean plate of salad proves this.

It's rare for little kids to love brushing their teeth, but Gideon is among them. Joy-Anna shared on Instagram that she caught him pretending to brush his teeth with one of her makeup brushes. Adorable!

Like father, like son. Joy-Anna shared on Instagram that Gideon is obsessed with touching everything and getting his hands dirty. "It is so cute to watch him copy everything Austin does and try to 'help' him work!" she wrote.

As if anyone needed any more evidence as to Gideon's love for his dad, these photos prove it.

Just look at how cute they are together! I can't even handle it.

With a lot of aunts and uncles comes a lot of cousins that are his age. Gideon and his cousin Garrett were born just a few months apart, but they are practically twins.

Gideon has also spent some time with his older and younger cousins, too.

Joy-Anna wrote in the caption of the photo that Gideon loves hanging out with his uncles, especially his Uncle Jackson, who "always makes him laugh." Awwww!

He really loves his animals, and he knows his animal sounds, too! In a video posted to their Instagram account, Gideon can be heard trying to replicate the same sounds that a horse makes.

Dogs are called a man's best friend for a reason. Gideon cannot get enough of pups — just look at how much fun he has with his furry friends.

When it comes to exploring, Gideon is a pro. He isn't afraid to "climb everything," even if it's not necessarily the best idea.

OK, so he might not be old enough to drink coffee, but he's certainly young enough to play pretend. Joy-Anna shared this adorable photo of Gideon "drinking" from her cup of iced coffee, but it's not like he needs it. "He already has more energy than I can keep up with," Joy-Anna wrote in the caption.

Gideon is already helping his mom with chores around the house. Just look at him helping her do the laundry. So cute!

Some little kids just can't wait to grow up — Gideon included. The little boy clearly loves playing pretend, which includes pretending to drive a real car. "Just 12.5 years 'til he'll be driving this truck," Joy-Anna wrote in the caption. "Time is flying way too fast!"
