The couple's two other children, Jackson, five, and Lilah, two, have the condition commonly known as dwarfism.
In an exclusive interview with , the proud parents shared the news of their three-month-old son's genetic condition.
"He’s Josiah. He has achondroplasia, but he’s not, like, Josiah the achondroplasia," Zach explains as the pair insist that the diagnosis doesn't define the newborn's identity.
"Just like I’m Tori, I have brown hair. I’m not a brunette — like, that’s not how I would classify myself," Tori adds.

Tori, however, does not have dwarfism.
Neither does Zach's twin brother, Jeremy, 32, and his younger siblings, Molly, 28, and Jacob, 25.
“It’s so normal to us. We have so many resources and there’s a lot of parents out there who don’t have the same resources, and … don’t have the same confidence in everything that Zach and I do," Tori said about raising three children with the condition.
Fans have followed the family's story on the TLC network since the show's inception in 2006.
