The season 14 finale of 7 Little Johnstons finally gave fans a glimpse of Liz Johnston and Brice Bolden’s daughter, Leighton. Fans had long anticipated the arrival of the baby on screen, with many believing that TLC might end the season with a cliffhanger to maintain a strong viewership for the next season.

However, to fans’ delight, baby Leighton will now be a recurring face in the next season. The Johnston family is clearly thrilled with Leighton’s arrival. They frequently share pictures of the adorable baby on social media. Recently, Trent shared a heartwarming moment between him and his granddaughter Leighton on Instagram. So, what were the two up to? Let’s take a look.

7 Little Johnstons: Trent Takes Baby Leighton On A Trail Ride!

TLC put Liz’s pregnancy as the focus of 7 Little Johnstons season 14. Moreover, the family kept updating fans on social media with pictures of baby Leighton before her arrival on screen. The entire season clearly hyped up Liz’s pregnancy and the arrival of the baby. With such a long build-up, fans were eagerly waiting to see baby Leighton officially on screen.

The network fulfilled their wishes in the season finale with Liz finally delivering her daughter in the hospital. Leighton’s birth not only made Liz and Brice parents but Trent and Amber also became grandparents for the first time. Since then, the new grandparents never miss a chance to adore and praise the newest addition to the family.

On Wednesday, August 14, Trent took to social media to share a carousel of heartwarming snaps with his 9-month-old granddaughter. He captioned the picture, “Feeding deer with Daddy and Boppa and trail riding!” highlighting how he calls himself Leighton’s “Boppa.” In the first picture from the slideshow, Leighton could be seen sleeping in Trent’s lap.

The following picture showed Leighton peeking into a deer feeder with her father, Brice, adding more feed into the contraption. In another image, Trent held up Leighton so she could take a good look inside the contraption. However, her adorable eyes looked straight at the camera lens while her hands rested on the container.

7 Little Johnston fans rushed to the comment section to shower their love for the adorable baby. “Oh my goodness, her sweet little face so cute,” one fan wrote. Another added, “She is adorable. She is really growing up quickly.” A third comment read, “OMG she has THEE sweetest face.”

7 Little Johnstons: Did Trent Put Baby Leighton’s Life In Danger?

The last season of 7 Little Johnstons mainly focused on Liz and her baby, making her siblings look like side characters. While fans had mixed feelings about this, a new issue recently upset them. In the season 14 finale, the whole family, including Trent, was present in the hospital room with Liz and her newborn, Leighton. Fans were alarmed as Trent had a cold sore and kissed the baby.

Fans noted that this is unhygienic and risky as newborns are vulnerable to HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus), which can be fatal. Fans criticized both Trent and the nurse, who allowed him in the room. “Did anyone else notice that Trent kissed that brand new baby with a cold sore on his lip? Made me so mad,” one fan wrote.
