PHOTOS Meet Solomon, baby #17 for the Browns of Sister Wives

Oct, 27, 2011 | AUTHOR: Darren O; | Related : Baby Bonanza, Kody Brown, Robyn Sullivan Brown, Sister Wives

Congratulations to the Brown family of TLC’s Sister Wives as they have welcomed their 17th child into the world in the form of adorable little baby Solomon.

Solomon was born yesterday at 2:02 AM and weighed in at a healthy 9lbs, 10.5 oz, and was 22″ long. This little bundle of joy is the first for Kody and his fourth better fifth Robyn. He is Robyn’s fourth child as she has three children from a separate marriage to David Preston Jessop.

Solomon has 16 brothers and sisters as well as four mommas to get to know so the little tot is going to be pretty busy for the next few days I believe. With that much love to go around his family might just hug and squeeze this cutie pie too much!

The large polygamist family celebrated the home birth as Robyn explained that Solomon was her first baby to have blond hair:

“He looks like Kody. All my babies before had dark, curly hair. He is so cute. He looks like a little Brown baby. He has a sweet, peaceful spirit.”

Robyn also spoke of the joy she felt in knowing that Solomon has such a large supporting family cast to dote over him:

“Having everyone come in and fall in love with him was just heartwarming. Who doesn’t want to know that their child is loved by a whole big family? I had all these kids come in and moms falling in love with him. He has a list 21 deep of people loving him. There is not a lack of love.”

Here is a photo of Kody, Robyn and Solomon together.

Kody was his usually amped self. If you watch the show like me you have to be amazed at the dude’s energy and zest. I have one 3-year-old and feel like I’m worn out half the time. Papa Brown has 17 kids now! So how did he do during the birth? Not too bad according to Robyn:

“Kody was awesome. He was able to keep me calm and keep me focused when things got harder. I couldn’t get through a contraction without holding his hand. It was a beautiful, wonderful experience for me.”

The birth of baby Solomon will be featured on the Sister Wives season finale set to air on Nov. 27 at 9PM EST.

I’m glad that baby was finally born. I don’t think if I was tiny as Robyn I would want to be 2 weeks over due and have an almost 10 lb baby. Robyn looks good espcially since it sounds like she had a drug free home birth. I hope the birth special is tatseful. I know followers of reality shows are curious about big events like babies and weddings. Just please TLC not another birth like Anna Duggar on the toilet!

Hahahahahaha..omg enzo you are way too bright!

thank you for that explanation i thought that i was the one that had to break the news

While the baby is so cute I still think Robyn is a polarizing figure in the Brown family. I do not like her at all.
uhhh

anyone else notice the wife in red’s face in the top picture? hahhh
- Christine
  
  On a recent episode Janelle the red face wife said she does not like going into others wives bedrooms. She didn’t like going into her parents bedroom either. It seemed to be a big issue for her. In fact Robyn even said she felt weird having the wives see her bedroom during this remodeling episode. After all that talk about bedroom privacy, we got this picture of them in the bedroom!
hahah

Hahaha “enzo” do you not know November comes AFTER October. Meaning 1 month from now. Wow!!

Here are postings from several of the blogs – They need to be posted and read by your readers. The Browns need to see them too.

In my experience, in families where disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated or encouraged (either consciously or subconsciously), kids who act out are angry about something at home or school and feel powerless to change the situation in any other way to the point of frustration. That frustration and despair just starts leaking out because it cannot be kept inside.

In Hunter’s situation this tells me several things.
(1) Hunter is VERY upset about something he thinks is wrong or bad at home or school. From the behaviour and events I have seen I tend to think it is something at home.
(2) Hunter thinks he cannot change that something in any other way than acting out. This means that talking has not worked; his emotional upsets have not been adequately addressed, etc. In other words, there has been a failure to parent appropriately.
(3) Hunter has lost a great deal of respect for his parents and the other adults in the family.

A couple of sentences in the clip lead us to believe that Hunter has a problem with Robyn. Other information we have learned tells us that favouritism has been shown to Robyn and her kids. What kid wouldn’t be upset in such a situation?

Which leads me to my last observation. Logan is so “with the program” that it appears he has partaken of some of the Kool-Aid. I have suspected this for some time since I heard him repeat, several times in almost exactly the same words with the same phrasing (almost as if rehearsed) that he wasn’t even thinking about polygamy at this point in his life. I like many things about Logan but suspect that he may not be as “genuine” as many of us think. I won’t be popular for holding this opinion, but it is based on observation.

This kid is being asked to respect the ‘adults’ in the family when he knows that they are hypocrites. He is angry that he had to leave his home, he is angry that his Dad now has a new ‘honey’ and doesn’t have time for him. To make it worse, his Dad went ahead and made a new family with his ‘honey’ instead of spending time with him in this time of stress.

He is angry that his Dad calls him a ‘monster’. AND, he is a hormone-raging teen boy. HE IS A BOY. A boy that needs a DAD to be a leader. He needs a father that is there more than one night every four days.

This kid is screaming for help and paternal discipline although the rest of us see a young boy that is acting out. Look between the lines here, people.

This is what happens in situations of divorce when a kid is ripped from the fabric of what he knew as security only to no longer have parents focused on him or his family. This is what happens when your father is selfish and puts his needs in front of his children’s needs. Any kid that went through a divorce and re-marriage can relate to this situation.

Yes, Kody is still ‘married’ to Janelle; but, he gets the same amount of time with his Dad as any kid of divorce gets with a weekend parent. To make things worse, the ‘adults’ made him move from his home for their own obviously selfish needs.

This family is now focused on money and fame. How many hours do you think they spend talking with producers, PR people, etc., instead of spending hours with their children?

Of course he doesn’t respect his parents or any adult member of his family. They don’t respect him or put the kids first. AND HE KNOWS IT.

This family could learn a thing or two from listening to Dr. Laura.

HEARING THEM CALL HIM A MONSTER ON TELEVISION IS GROUNDS FOR ABUSE. They created this situation, they should suck it up and call the show off.

I’m so mad at them I could scream. I’ll just wait for the next ‘special episode’ where one of the daughters runs off with the local rock band and has an abortion. UGH.

The example Kody is setting for the 17 children is one of the worst and leading by example is very important in their religion!!!! If the possibility of going to jail is real, why would Kody marry Robyn??? Why have another child???? The move to Las Vegas was the most immature and detrimental action Kody could have ever made. There is a poligamy community right there in Utah. Why move out in two days?? Why leave furniture and other possessions in Utah?? Why lease 4 houses and buy furniture?? Nobody has a job!!! Does this sound like a reasonable decision by a husband and father??? Why send the children to public school in Utah after them attending private schools all of their lives then move them to a place where they have no support system (friends)?? Kody had already put the family and children in danger with his immaturity and TOTAL LACK OF PLANNING??? Kody moved the family like he was being chased by gangsters having a contract out on his life. With 4 wives and 17 children, you would think planning is NECESSARY!!! Why didn’t Kody move the family to his dad or brother’s ranch? Why does the father of 17 children drive a LEXUS CONVERTIBLE?? I am not against poligamy. I am against poor judgement and lack of planning by irresponsible parent…a parent of 17 children. Kody might joke about Hunter’s problems until there is a tragedy with Hunter or one of the other children.

Yes, I am on FIRE with this last news flash of Kody calling his own son a ‘MONSTER’ for all the world to see.

This act shows a complete lack of parenting skills and respect for his children’s fragile state of mind.

Robyn’s WAAAAH-ing with the struggles of her own children to adapt to their new home solidifies her consistent adolescent view of the world. Does this woman not see how her own actions created this chaos? And she has the nerve to complain about it?

To make matters worse, she makes a statement that she has 1.5 years to “have my kids fit into this family”. This means that she will manipulate anyone possible to make sure that her kids don’t want to leave HER.

I’m on fire, yes, but I see an absolute injustice being done to these children who are at the mercy of their parent’s poor decision process.

Most adults of my age that lived through divorce and blended families will tell you of similar struggles, and the parents are too focused on their new marriage at the expense of the kids. Not too many of my peers made it through their young adulthood without battling some major demons as a result.

I just hope that these children find some solace in a sane religious community instead of their perhaps ethically-challenged Vegas peers. They need an adult secure structure that isn’t happening at home.

I’m probably going to stop watching this show. It upsets me too much and this show now took the path of similar disgusting reality shows like Jon & Kate plus Eight. I refused to watch that mess.

Most people stop gawking at a train wreck when the smoke clears and body parts appear. It is ugly and has long lasting effects on the survivors.

In my experience, in families where disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated or encouraged (either consciously or subconsciously), kids who act out are angry about something at home or school and feel powerless to change the situation in any other way to the point of frustration. That frustration and despair just starts leaking out because it cannot be kept inside.

In Hunter’s situation this tells me several things.

  Pam, your post is brilliant. Very well said, not many people have the insight that you do

To Pam,
Yet you still watch the show.. Is it so awful for these people to simply be happy? If your life and family were filmed for a reality series, boy you would be in for a surprise.. you’re not going to look so perfect either. Who are you to judge someone else’s choices or life style and to determine what is right and what is wrong? Are you God? Clearly you just have all the answers. annd that is called ignorance. “If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all” Evaluate your own life. I am a nineteen year old college student and yet I’m not nearly as unwitting, ill- informed, ill- mannered and inconsiderate as you appear to be. But hey that’s just based on a “observation.” annd just so you know, Hunter is a teenager.. we all go through a stage of stubbornness and disrespect toward our parents and think the whole world revolves around our problems. Well of course MOST do, apparently you’ve never seen this imperfection.. And I don’t if you’ve ever heard of ‘stress’ but it just so happens parents, or anyone for that matter say things that they don’t mean while under stress or angry. All in all, why the hell isn’t the Brown family soo perfect..? My oh my they might just be human- let them be, let them be happy.

I agree with anyone who says they do not like Robyn. She seems like a misfit and not nearly as sexy or genuine as the others. I love their family but I could do without whiney Robyn all the time with all those fake tears. She does nothing good for the family. And Cody should have stopped with Christine who by the way is charming and sweet and manifests such Christian behaviour. I felt sorry for her when Robyn came along because she is right when she says that Cody catered more to Robyn while pregnant than he did to Christine. Also, how tacky the timing to be dating someone new when Christine is carrying your child and so vulnerable and sensitive at such a time. Big mistake there!

  Denise, I just want to second your kind words about Christine, the ‘third wife’. She’s a doll! Such a sweet, lovely woman, and a great mother-figure to all 17 kids. I like all the wives, but I really think Christine is the glue who holds them all together
Marica Vance

I am so happy for them, I love them all. The lifestyle isnt for me, but to each his own.

congrats on baby solomon !! must agree robyn wants all of codys time !
Shelly

I gotta say that I love Robyn. She seems so nice and genuine and only wants everybody’s best interest. She cares for the family and loves all of them. Sure it would be hard for another person to come into the family that already has other children. But ppl need to realize that Robyn wants to feel and be loved too. She went through a difficult marriage before marrying Kody and she’s just so thankful that she’s in a family that cares and loves each other. And having another baby with her husband is not a bad thing. What woman doesn’t want to have a baby with the man she’s married to, even if she has children from a previous marriage? So, I say congratulations to all of them and best of luck. All the wives are doing an awesome job.
