Apparently, when I was a baby I looked like Jon Armstrong

That's a photo in a scrapbook of my baby pictures that I made for my mother in 1998. Stars, and circles, and cutouts, oh my!

I like that there's a race to be first.
I also like how I'm always a loser in that race, but I still show up. It's like when you run a 10K with 40,000 other people (which is, incidentally, the approximate number of hits this site gets daily, according to something I read somewhere... a very reliable source).

Hey! Wait a minute! You don't have a large Scottish melon in that picture at all!
I looked exactly like Hoss from Bonanza for the first 14 months of life...

I love your pink fluffy dress. You really need to find one for Leta. :)

Funny!! My hubby and I also kind of look alike in our baby photos. Well, we do and we don't. And when we look at our kids we think she looks like he and he looks like she .... or wait, is it the other way around? I just don't think you can tell that early. But then again, Leta does look like a little Jon. Letajon. Little Jon.
I just love love love your site!!!

HO-LEEEEEEE SHIT!
Maybe I should go into shock journalism, like that guy on Batural Born Killers. I seem to have a nose for the truth (like Kirk Rocker).
Come to think of it, tho', it was only a matter of time before this revelation: Mormon... Southern...

sorry again, its Natural, not Batural.
jeez i gotta lay off the sudafed

Now the Dooce is being stalked. That's what you get for posting pictures of your poor stalking victims. You're teaching the internet how to stalk. ;)

What does yo baby daddy think about that? I thought she looked more like you all along. Pretty momma, pretty baby.
The hair style is called a "Jimmy Roacher". What were they thinking?
I finally got the link fixed so you can hear the song "My Baby Daddy".

GirlA, too funny - I like humor that bends the rules or is absurd (the best kind). One of the reasons I love Dooce - she likes to experiment with rules in a wonderful way, in a life-affirming way. Her fans are always heart-warming, if not as brave. Which is probably the way it should be :)
And I agree, though both girl babies (Dooce and Leta) are beautiful, I think they look pretty different in the major features categories.

I don't see it. But I do see some of Leta in that picture, maybe that is what people mean when they say you look like Jon.
11.15.04 - 07:02 AM / 15The Mighty Jimbo said:
i wonder how many people actually set their alarm in the morning just for that ellusive first comment.
11.15.04 - 07:10 AM / 16Fish said:
Once again, I have to apologize in advance for being the first person with the temerity to point out the most obvious question brought about by today's photo, and the accompanying commentary:
"Does this mean you and John are related?"
I'm sorry, Dooce. You can now permanently block my IP address.
11.15.04 - 07:24 AM / 17Fish said:
sorry, I meant JON, not john.
11.15.04 - 07:25 AM / 18Sheryl said:
LOL, Fish, I thought that was what Dooce was implying too!
11.15.04 - 07:27 AM / 19Lindsey said:
Oh My God! It's a miracle Leta does look like you! Or well um, you kinda look like Jon so it all evens out I guess :)

Funny how being the first too post a comment here (whether one has anything to say or not) has suddenly risen to the status of being a first poster on Slashdot.

holy crap. you DO!
see? leta looks like momma, too!

Wow, cut out that face and paste it into a frog suit and you'd really have something there. ;)

I had to tell you that those motion-sensor toilets have a little rubbery button on top of the round sensor area that you can PUSH with your foot or finger to flush! No frantic waving to get your shit to go down. :)

Not that I doubt The Power of The Dooce, or anything. I just sometimes doubt The Accuracy of the Online Media.

I wasn't sure if someone else had posted it or not, I didn't read the comments from over the weekend.
11.15.04 - 06:35 AM / 28Colleen from NJ said:
Yes, Jon in white ruffley panties and dress. I had that roach hair- do, too.
We East Coasters have a bit of an advantage to be the first post. I admit I felt a smug sense of satisfaction to be a first-poster once. Oh, the life of stay-at-homes...
