    I have twin second cousins who look exactly the same except one has blue eyes and the other brown. Thankfully their mother always dresses them in the same style shirts, but different colors to coordinate with their eye color. Seriously.

    Cute, yet world weary already.

    Aww...poor little thing. Let Chuckles give him lots of kisses so he's not afraid of dogs after getting bit. Again, poor little guy. But great pic as usual. Good luck with the teething...my little was a pure demon when he got his first. He's up to eight now, and we think he's working on some more.

    Apparently, some dog mistook him for a green, plastic dinosaur... It happened to me at that age. Still have the scar. Grew up to be absolutely dog crazy with a giant greyhound.

    Wow that was close to his eye! Same thing happened to my daughter with my mom's dog. I've never liked my mom's dog.... (and I'm an animal freak)

    Cute Picture, as always.

    I thought my 7 mo. daughter was late in teething-she doesn't have any yet. Good to know Leta is just now starting. Is she sitting up yet?

    Poor little guy, glad he's ok.

    The teething can be rough for little ones. Infant pain reliever helps, as does Baby Orajel.

    When they're older, though, and the teeth begin to fall out, that's when it gets seriously gross.

    Ouch! He sure is a cute little boy, though. Hopefully he isn't scared of dogs. When I was little I was the one to bite dogs....I guess I was kind of weird back then.

    Love in Christ,
    Amber <><

    Oh, poor babe. Is it bad that I was happy you could tell them apart b/c of it though? :)

    Love from Hell,

    My son, John-Malachy, beat Leta out of the womb by 3 days, and is working on his sixth and seventh teeth. I hadn't realized yet how competitive he is. The problem, however, is that no ordinary teething ring will satisfy him, and he prefers to use my face, leaving me looking much like poor little Joshua there. Serves me right for mistaking his advances for innocent kisses. Typical man.

    Hope the dog bite wasn't too bad...

    And now dooce will receive more mail than Santa Claus...

    teeth are nothing. wait until leta is a teenager and then you'll jump right in that grave you're talking about digging.

    pobrasito. good pic, though - as always.

    horray for the DOOCE mailbox! :)

    it was actually a dog sent by the guy who sends weird emails but the dog got confused.

    but, poor kid. he doesn't look very happy about that dog bite. but then again, he may know that you call him "the other one."

    Now, I'm not hoping this or anything, but if it scars you'll be able to tell them apart forever :/

    I am a very amatuer webmaster. So in putting Elmore Park Packers into google I found this charming story about Elmore Park Cheerleading. What a hoot! EPP is still alive and kicking and having the same effect on girls then as now. If you're ever in town during football sesaon, dust off your pom poms, slip into your old cheer uniform and come out and bleed green and gold for an afternoon. I'll buy you a hotdog.

    When you get hate mail from people telling you that letting a dog bite one of those boys just so that you can tell them apart is evil and wrong and you're going to hell, will you please remember to post it? ;)

    You dog bit him in the face? What was he doing to it? Haha, you don't have to call him "twin" anymore. You can call him scarface. Or something.

    I’m sad that I don’t have a hairy chest. Not that I typically go rubbing my boobs on strangers’ windows. But you actually made that sound sorta’ fun.

    Congratulations on your schnazzy corporate mailbox.

    Oh my, poor Joshua! That cutie child got bit by a dog! I think he needs a kiss from kEma and a few toys to make him feel better..

    kissssssss and a huggie to the lil angel

  • kEma said:

    Dooce, as long as i am too far away and i cant do that on my own will you be that kind to pass my kiss and my higgie to him ;) Thanks

    Ooh, I wanna come to your house and play Jeopardy - we could have a drunk Jeopardy competition. I'd probably get my ass kicked, but it would totally be fun.

  • Michelle said:

    He looks almost like the little one on the Lowercase tee ad you have on your site. Except for the doggie bite. Dogs that bite give dogs like Chuck and Marley a bad name.....

    Heather,

    A gentleman by the name of Dr. James would like permission from you to post a link to your website on the "Exceptional Bloggers" section of his blog - http://drjames.blogspot.com. He's already posted quote from your page (cited works of course), so you might as well seal the deal with a public permission.

    can we have an update on Leta please? :-) how's she been doing with putting weight on her feet?

    needless to say "the other one" is a cute boober too

    My brother got his face bitten off my a dog when he was little (don't worry, he's fine, they fixed him right up) but now, 25 years later, my mother is still terrified of dogs. He loves them.
