Jon and Kate Plus 8...plus me!

Jon x Kate = Maddie + Cara + Alexis + Hannah +
Aaden + Collin + Leah + Joel...+ Me!

No, I'm not the ninth adorable baby Asian addition to this (mostly) happy household but I am in fact invited into their too crowded house on a daily basis to join in the chaos and so are you!

Jon and Kate started filling their rooms with camera crews shortly after the sextuplets were born. Now almost three years later, TLC still make up the 9th, 10th...16th members of the Gosselin home. Natural stars from the overpopulated womb, these babies knew how to fill the lens with puppy dog eyes and and tiny cherubic smiles. It all began with a couple of documentaries on raising multiples and the insanity that ensues until America (and I mean like the whole country) fell head over tiny baby croc heels in love with this adorable litter.

They are now a weekly sensation every Monday night on TLC and rerun at a minimum of 4-6 times per day. No it's not just soccer moms who sit home and take notes from Kate's never ending list of advice (both for raising 8 kids and for cleaning). Dads like to watch it because they root for Jon in every seemingly frivolous battle royal about marker usage and proper dusting techniques, kids enjoy watching other wee ones playing the same games-- even the famous 8 like watching themselves according to mom and dad.

Everyone has their favorite baby-- the majority seem to vote for the sweet specked Aaden while others love the itty bitty bubbly Leah. Whether you like the show for its teaching purposes or if you just love "aldergators" and marital spats Jon and Kate Plus 8 is for anyone with a heart or a soft spot for precious little Asian punims. We've watched them grow, heard them yelp, celebrated birthdays and "special days", learned how to use the potty and pulled at Jon and Kate's last straw and heart strings all from the comfort of our homes...where we will also be able to enjoy from afar the later years of Jon and Kate Plus 8 Teens!
