Thank you Heather for your ever insightful blogging. You have brought me to laughter and tears on more than one occasion and I thank you for that. You are a light in my day lately. I must thank you for that. Thank you for waking me up and helping me to laugh again. Keep on doing what you are doing. You are an inspiration. Thank you for being so open about deppression and a lot of other things.
My husband and I fight over who gets to read your blog first. It is good to be alive.
How did you get so blessed to have such an amazingly gorgeous daughter? She is pure divinity!

Wow, I have never been so high up on the list before! Where'd everybody go for the weekend?
It looks like Leta is holding a SASSY toy, which if my years as a daycare teacher remember, they come from Discovery Toys, sold by the home party route.
I would say, from past reading experience, that Dooce did Not go to a home party to get it, and that this most likely was a gift. People think they make great gifts.
SASSY toys last forever in the daycare setting, even with all the gnawing, and bleach water cleanings.
What I'm wondering is "where is her Bib?" all that drool with teeth coming, a catch-all is needed over such a pretty shirt.

I love this pic! It looks like it is from Chuck's POV and he's just waiting for her to drop that toy so he can grab it...

Is the perspective really of the lonely abandoned toy or of the Thank-God-She's-Not-Trying-To-Eat-Me Toy?
She is just gorgeous.

Look at her hands, those beautiful fingers! She's going to have such expressive hands.

We have that same rattle. Our little guy is not strong enough to hold it or mouth it yet. I'm glad to see that eventually, it should move from the abandoned toy to used toy spot.

I'm want to gobble her up! She is SO adorable!

Are those Tupperware measuring cups she plays with?? My little brother played with them, until he discovered there was water in the toilet...

She's so dang adorable. How'd you have such a cute kid? Are those green measuring cups? Those remind me of my grandmother.

Abandoned toy: " THE SCREAMS THE SCREAMS!....Sassy rattle I will save you!"

stop posting such cute pictures of Leta! You're making my ovaries hurt! :)

I can find Sassy toys almost anywhere. Here, we have them at Target, Babies "R" Us, etc. They're great.
In honor of Fish we'll start the "What is Leta thinking" Game:
"MMMMmmmm... Sassy rattle...good. But where's the blue cheese dipping sauce?"

Dude, it's amazing what babies can fit in their MOUTHS!!!

"Let me check the clock.... okay, two more minutes of gnawing, then it's time for my Screaming Practice."

Sassy toys ARE great. And I love the striped pants too...I think they are the same as the ones I recently bought for this baby that will finally be on the outside of my body in a few weeks (K-Mart these days has some decent and affordable kids' clothes). Gender neutral colors rock when you don't know what your having!
On a different note, the thumbnail made me think of this website:

"this toy sure is sassy...but wait! is that a Nikon D70 behind that box?? something in this house that i HAVEn't gnawed on???"
*chomp chomp chomp*

"why is Mom hiding in the toys? Maybe she's jealous of my sassy toy. I'll have to scream more, lest she feel neglected."

isn't it strange how when babies are cutting their first set of teeth everything goes into their mouths.
but when you're adult teeth are growing, you don't chew on anything!
what is behind the oral fixation of babies?
