Everything We Know About Zach And Tori Roloff's New Baby
Little People, Big World stars Zach and Tori Roloff recently gave an update on their newest addition to the family, Lilah Ray Roloff. In a special video released by TLC Me, the couple talked about their new baby girl and their plans for the future.
Lilah joined her big brother, Jackson, who is 2. The reality couple announced her birth on November 21, two days after she was born, in an Instagram post that also shared her vital statistics. She was born at 6:52 p.m., weighed 8 pounds and 9 ounces, and was 18 and a half inches long at birth. "Welcome to the family sweet baby girl!" wrote proud mama Tori.
The couple revealed in the video why they decided to name their baby Lilah, a name which means "night."
"I've just always loved the name Lilah and I think I sold Zach on it," said Tori. She revealed that Lilah's middle name, Ray, is her dad's middle name, who was named after his father, Raymond. Tori wanted to pass the moniker along in the family.

Lilah came a little early, surprising her parents. "She came two days before our scheduled C-section, technically a week and a half early," said Tori.
Fortunately, the couple didn't panic at Lilah arriving a bit earlier than planned. "It was kind of fun just experiencing labor," said Tori. "Making sure we had everything, getting to the hospital. It was kind of exciting."
The couple revealed that, like her father, Zach, and her brother, Jackson, Lilah has achondroplasia. "So we're two for two on that front," said Zach. Tori added, "Batting a thousand."
Zach Roloff already wants another baby
Zach revealed that Lilah "looks identical" to Jackson, but the Roloff siblings aren't exactly alike. Tori said that Lilah is an even better behaved baby than her older brother. "It's surprising to me that she's so easy," said Tori. "I was really preparing myself...everyone was like 'Oh wait for that second kid... She's almost easier in some ways than J."
She added, "But she's been great. She's been easy."
Zach revealed that he wouldn't mind having a third baby, which Tori seems fine with — on one condition. "He's going to carry the next one," she joked.
