Day of Destruction
Even though her bithday isn't until Thursday, we had to arrange things to accommodate the relatives, you know. It was a blast. Wait until you see what I smeared on her head.
(P.S. Jon took this photo because I was in the background somewhere silently freaking out.)

You know, I wound up just like this at my last birthday party, but strangely, no one thought it was the least bit cute.

Happy birthday, gorgeous girl! I've enjoyed watching you grow. And thanks, Dooce, for sharing your lovely life with the world. I can identify with so much of what you've gone through, and it helps to see someone else work through it at the same time. You're my hero!

Ya know, I started reading dooce JUST before the baby was born - at work, we were all checking the site for updates. When you posted the 11-month open letter to Leta, I realized it would soon be a year.. Wow. I've read this site EVERY DAY for a year and I still look forward to it every morning.
Thank you thank you thank you - and may Leta have a super chocolate-covered first birthday.

A whole year already! she's almost a little girl now, not a baby! I hope she gets lots of exciting things like boohbah videos(agreed that show is the SCARIEST thing, and those toys are PORNOGRAPHIC!!)and clothing and the best bit is when she gets to rip all the paper off and play in it! happy birthday to Leta, she's so gorgeous!
