The tot who turned three in May, celebrated with a number ‘three’ candle in a glazed donut on a paper plate.
Jessa also posted a photo of the toddle dressed in a pink princess dress.
She captioned the post: “Ivy turned 3 this week, and we’ve had a wonderful time celebrating her and making her birthday wishes come true! .
“She brings joy and laughter to our home every single day. I can barely remember what life was like before she was here with us!
“So thankful to God for this precious gift of Ivy Jane!”
But fans couldn’t get past the fact Ivy only got a donut instead of a cake for her birthday.

One fan wrote on Reddit: “Ivy: ‘At least I have a gas station donut…’.”
Another added: “Not even a chocolate one!”
And a third wrote: “I don’t know what looks more glazed, the donut or her expression.”
But if Jessa’s recent history is to go by, she will not stand by fans slamming her parenting.

She recently clapped back at a fan on social media after they accused the star’s parents of making her praise her dad.
Jessa posted a photo of her father, Jim Bob, holding her daughter Fern.
Jessa, 29, captioned the post: “Had a wonderful time yesterday celebrating these birthday buddies! Love them both dearly!”
One fan on the social media post, however, wrote: “Blink twice if your parents are making you write these posts.”
The comment was taken down, but not before Jessa responded, which was then posted to a social media forum.
Jessa wrote: “I happen to deeply love and appreciate my parents. I know I have my own flaws, as do they, but we choose to extend grace to one another and we have a wonderful relationship.”
“If you cannot handle that, feel free to move along,” she added.
“What ‘flaws’ is Jessa referring to that she has that even compares to the flaws of her parents?” one fan wrote in the comments section of an online thread.
“What are you hiding Jessa that your parents need to ‘extend grace’ to You?
“The ‘flaws’ your parents have, lying under oath, smacking a baby for getting off a blanket, shunning family members, and protect a monster like Josh. Those aren’t just ‘flaws’ those are valid reasons to distance yourself.”
Jim Bob recently turned 57, and his family members were not with him to celebrate his special day due to the ongoing family feud.
Jessa’s post was the only one that acknowledged Jim Bob’s birthday- the same thing happened last year.
Jim Bob seemed to be dissed by all of his 19 children except one.
His son Jed previously shared a photo of him and Jim Bob together and wrote: “Happy birthday, Dad!
“I’m honored to share your middle name and so grateful for you! Love you!”
His daughters Jinger, Jessa, Jill, Jana, and Joy-Anna all failed to make any mention of Jim Bob’s big day.
Just last month, some of the Duggar children wished their father a Happy Father’s Day.
Jill, Joy-Anna, and Jana were all radio silent, however, and chose not to share a tribute to their dad.
Jinger is the most well-known daughter who posted a tribute, sharing a throwback photo of her as a little girl with her dad on her Instagram Stories.
She added the text: “Happy Father’s Day pops!”
However, the mom-of-two continues to distance herself from her family back in Arkansas as she enjoys a new life in California with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, to whom she also shared a Father’s Day tribute.
All of this comes after the family has been fighting due to eldest child Josh‘s child pornography charges.
Josh was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty and has to pay $50,000 in fines.
After the ex-reality star is released, he will serve 20 more years of probation and will be forbidden from unsupervised visits with children.
He will not be allowed to have a computer or view pornography of any kind.
Josh was previously found guilty of possessing and receiving child pornography on December 9 after a nearly two-week trial.
