Zach and Whitney Bates’ youngest may be pushing herself to roll with the big kids too fast.
On Wednesday, the Bringing Up Bates star, 36, shared a photo of his daughter Lily Jo sporting a pink arm cast to his Instagram Stories. Bates explained how the 18-month-old ended up with the injury with text over the photo.
“So Lily has been getting more brave, trying to be like the big kids, and loves to climb up on a stool to try to get things off the counter,” he wrote over the picture. “She was a little too brave and ended up falling and breaking her arm 🥺 the doctor said it should be healing pretty quickly but I just think her little cast looks so pitiful 😭.”‘
“Khloe went to the doctor with her and helped pick out her pink cast. It doesn’t seem to be slowing her down at all and she is still living life at 100 miles an hour 🤪,” he continued. “The big kids have pampered her nonstop and these next few weeks will definitely be interesting!”

Many believe that Ella Jane could actually be Whitney and Zach’s last baby. However, others pointed out that Whitney also said the same about her previous births and still ended up expecting a new one. Regardless, many are still celebrating the married couple’s growing family.
- “I’m sure they’ll pop out one more blessing. Whitney’s only 32.”
- “Supposedly, she was telling people after baby #5 that she was done. But that obviously didn’t last long!”
- “Yeah , for engagement only but not really , it is preparing for at least 3 miracle babies , until finally a real medical urgency and dad panicking that he might really have to parent the children alone for it to stop.”
- “Jaydon was also the last, and so was Lilly.”
- “I’ll believe it when I see it. I can see Erin or Alyssa being done since they have high risk pregnancies but even then that’s a stretch.”
