She was emotional and in tears when she and her sister Jessa sat down for an interview with Megyn Kelly on "The Kelly File," but over the weekend, Jill Duggar found a reason to smile as she and her husband, Derick Dillard, celebrated the second month birthday of their son Israel. 

Jill shared a happy milestone on Instagram, posting a new photo of her baby son on Saturday, June 6. In the shot, the two month old, in a white shirt that reads "2 months" and a plaid diaper cover, smiles for the camera. It was captioned, "Happy 2 month birthday #IsraelDavidDillard! We are so blessed to be your parents! May you grow up to love Jesus and serve others!" 

Jill did not post anything on social media for more than two weeks last month. The 24-year old's previous post was a photo of her and Jessa, shared on May 22, just before TLC decided to suspend "19 Kids and Counting" after Josh, 27, admitted that he molested his sisters and an unnamed baby sitter when he was a teenager. 

The scandal was first reported by In Touch magazine. On Friday, Jill and Jessa defended their brother in a tearful interview with Kelly. During the interview, Jessa said that she and her sister along with the rest of the Duggar family had dealt with the trauma and put it behind them a long time ago. They have also revealed that they have forgiven Josh.

Jill's decision to post on Instagram may be a sign that she feels it's time to move past the scandal that has shaken her family for weeks. Other members of the Duggar family have yet to break their silence on social media.
