The picture of Tripp with the long hair pulled back with a clip of some sort makes me wonder if a set of male/female fraternal twins are being presented as Tripp.
The picture from TLC was taken July 3, 2010 at Todd’s parents house in Dillingham.
Remember what else happened around that time?
The cover shot for the above article from the July 14, 2010 issue of Us Weekly would have been taken around the same time as the photo of Tripp with hair pulled back.
Here’s a side by side of Tripp cropped from the two pictures for comparison.
To me, Tripp’s face looks softer, rounder and feminine in the picture with the hair pulled back. The cheeks seem fuller. The difference is hard to explain unless fraternal twins are being used.
If twins are being used then I think it’s very doubtful that Bristol gave birth to them.
Thoughts?

No. Same sullen bratty child in both pictures.
I am the first person to believe that little kids should not be pigeonholed into specific behaviors; my grandson, for example, likes pink and has expressed a wish for pink shoes and coat.
But who would put a clip in a little boy's hair to hold it back? I mean, you just get a haircut. I realize there are religious faiths that do not accept haircuts, but I don't think any of the Palins belong to them.
I don't know if the two pictures are of different kids, but to me, if I hadn't been told this was Tripp, I would have said "little girl."

There was a photo of young dad Levi holding one baby and having another baby's arm in the shot...

Nah, anon @2:55 - he had said somewhere that it actually was his nephew or some other related kids arm.
Ivyfree: The Paylins definitely do not belong to that type of religious sect. Besides, there ARE pics around with Tripp sporting a cute haircut.
Swear, it almost looks like someone put one of those new fancy LA hairpieces on kid in blue...sitting on back of his head like they sit on the elder paylin women.
'mommy why do you wear that...can i get one?'...
When I look at photos of the Palins with the two little guys, I notice a pattern. Trig often seems to be interacting with the adult, especially if it is Todd. Tripp is usually not looking at Bristol. He is often looking at something outside of the frame of the photo. He does not seem comfortable with the Palins to me.
Looks to me like he's wearing a pair of baby sunglasses on his head which have slipped backwards and now appear to be a clip.
About the two pictures, the cover picture looks like Tipps hair is pulled back the same as the July 14th photo. Look carefully and you will see the hair at his temple is pulled up toward the crown.
As Freud said (paraphrased), "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". I'm all for exposing SP for the complete fraud that she is, but when you start to venture into territory which was previously only inhabited by "The Weekly World News", then it's time to step back.
There are NO twins, identical or fraternal. You've taken a picture showing a kid with his sunglasses sliding back on his head, the arms of which are squeezing his hair together, like the banana clip of the 80s, and you're totally blowing it out of proportion.
Stop being sensationalist and get back to facts! I too want to see that toxic bitch exposed for what she is, but if you keep posting like this, you'll be as credible as... wait for it... The Weekly World News!
Who says the baby on the right is Tripp anyway? Maybe it is a cousin. All the kids on my husband's side of the family look like they came from the same cookie cutter. Both kids look very much like grandpa Chuckles the Clown.
anon@ 5:19 AM - The caption, which you can read if you save the pic to your computer, identifies the child as Sarah's grandson so they say it's Tripp.

Andrea- I am posting suppositions based on what I see. I don't see any sunglasses. Not saying they're not there but if sunglasses are pulling that hair back then they are tiny. If you know for sure that there are no twins then would you mind sharing the source of your knowledge? I'm not being sarcastic. If you have any info to share, please email me from the link in my post.

Have to agree with Andrea. I don't read this blog very often as it's usually way out there and makes little sense just like the The Weekly World News.
And no, I am not a fan of Sarah Palin in way. Can't stand her or what she stands for.
I don't know how to explain the shape of Tripp's hair in the photo. I DO think that kids who are LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD usually DO NOT wear sunglasses.
O/T Blade but still about Tripp. There is a picture of Levi, and his father holding Tripp just after he was "supposedly" born, that was in US Weekly magazine.
It is on Flicker but I don't know how to do links. I saw it at Palingates and made a comment. There is so much going on over there, no one noticed. Anyway, they are in the Palin house wearing t-shirts and Tripp has a hat on pulled down over his ears and is bundled up past his chin.
The baby being held by Levi's father looked so stiff to me--I was wondering if it could have been a doll.
Take a look and see what you think.
Thanks!
Will do, Ginger. I think Iknow which pic you're talking about.

I'm with the cigar commenter. When my male cousin was that age, he loved to wear my mother's big earrings and necklaces.
US magazine shoot was on the 10th of July. Don't know who that other kid is. If Tripp, the dates work. If some cousin, it's not a big surprise that cousins look similar.
O/T and me again, Blade! I've been reading comments on different blogs about the picture with Levi wearing a hospital bracelet. It's been a long time since I've seen one, but I'd like to ask the following questions:
Aren't they made of plastic? Couldn't you cut them with a pair of scissors? Isn't it possible they did this and put it around Levi's wrist, scotch taped it, and took a picture?
The Palins love to do crazy stuff like this and drive people crazy.
Tee, hee...
Ginger - I looked at the picture you mentioned above again but the quality just isn't good enough to form a concrete opinion. I agree the baby looks stiff but he also appears to be crying and babies so stiffen when they are crying. I think the picture is a scan of a hard copy.
About the hospital bracelet picture, I wouldn't put anything past the Palins. I have often thought some of the things they do are really strange.
Blade
Thanks, Blade, for your response. Yes, the picture is of poor quality. But why would they put a hat on a small baby and bundle him up like that? They were in the Palin house and that didn't make sense to me. Whatever!
About the bracelet. Over on Mercede's blog, they wouldn't let me make this post. I guess it was deleted. Why? If Levi was actually in the hospital and they put a bracelet on him, what was the big deal?
Keep up the good work, Blade, and stay safe!
Ginger - Do you remember exactly how you worded your post to Mercede's blog? Have your posts there been deleted before? I ask because there are several comments there that mention Levi wearing the hospital bracelet and those comments were allowed. I wonder what is in your comment that they don't want to be read. Could you email me your reply so I can look into it? If you feel uncomfortable emailing me then you can post here but this might be something to keep under wraps until we figure out what's up.
