This was Leta’s first time using public transportation. She was totally digging it.

Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

2004/09/18 at 6:09 amShe looks just like a little Rap Star (RapSter?)
Whatever. She looks very cool. There’s a store in Vancouver called Hip Baby, and Leta could be its poster child.

2004/09/18 at 6:12 amShe’s adorable. Is that a tiny “I heart SF” t-shirt? Awwww!
Heatheranne
2004/09/18 at 6:19 amThat’s one you’ll have to pull out when she brings her first boyfriend home.

2004/09/18 at 6:21 amYo, yo, yo, wassup? My name is Leta and I’m here to say I mack all over the SF Bay.

2004/09/18 at 6:26 amDid you snap that before or after she said “Word to your MUTHA!”? 😉

2004/09/18 at 7:13 amWhat I think is funny is that she’s wearing a 5 point safety harness and her stroller’s a MacLaren (for those of you who know F1 racing). Perhaps this is a sign of a future career…

2004/09/18 at 7:13 amhmm. leta = floppy, rappers = indolent. i can’t imagine what we compared babies to before there was rap.

2004/09/18 at 8:02 amMy favourite part is her little ear sticking out of her hat!!
Jessica
2004/09/18 at 8:11 amShe looks like she’s high on something. Somethin’ good. 🙂
Great pic.
Stephanie
2004/09/18 at 8:13 amOh yeah. I had the same reaction as someone above — that girl’s got some super long fingers. I’ve got ’em too, and we’ve named the middle ones “The Big Digits”. Start her on piano immediately!!!
Shiz (Sharon)
2004/09/18 at 9:20 amShe so looks like she’s diggin it. Why knew Leta was all that and groovy, too?
HG
2004/09/18 at 9:31 amToo cute.
samantha
2004/09/18 at 9:57 amwhat about guitar? Her long fingers would be perfect, and then she can fufill her parents’ dreams for their child as a totally bad ass rocker!
Jenny
2004/09/18 at 9:59 amMy brother (4 right now) loves public transit too. Old enough to be out of the stroller now, he would always run to the nearest window seat and point and scream at random cars/buildings the whole trip.

2004/09/18 at 10:41 amInteresting choice of Google ads to go with this shot:
“Butterflies for funerals” and “September 11th”
WTF?
Great shot, btw. :o]

2004/09/18 at 10:43 amyou’re also the first result for mormon poop. but not mormon pooper.

Fenix
2004/09/18 at 11:39 amShe’s looking more like her Father each day… and the teeny baby jeans… makes me want to gobble her feet too!
well thats hot
2004/09/18 at 12:41 pmawww!!! too cute!
kEma
2004/09/18 at 1:54 pmI guess she’s saying:”Yeah, yeah you think i am drunk…that’s why you want me use public transport..Come on, MUM!I had just ONE bottle of apple juice..”
She is smashing 🙂
valorie
2004/09/18 at 2:15 pmOh. My. God. I nearly passed out from laughter and sympathy at the Boone Butt story. I am 7 months preggers now, so I am all too familiar with the big C and the pooping at work fiascos. But, if mine develops half the personality Leta has, it’ll all be worth it.
aibee
2004/09/18 at 4:11 pmAm I the only one who thinks Leta looks more like her ma every day?
Suzy
2004/09/18 at 4:47 pmHA! Looks like Leta is giving the Internet a big rasberry! *pbthhpbthhpbthhh!*
Amy
2004/09/18 at 5:32 pmShe is so cute I could shit myself. For you, of course.
And Heather, in your honor, I had two over-ripe pears today with a strong pot of Starbucks espresso roast coffee.

2004/09/18 at 6:20 pmLeta seems to be saying: “Who you lookin’ at?”
She’d fit right in on an NYC subway

I’m experiencing upper-middle-class-semi-urban-consumer-parent-envy, and I hate myself for it.

2004/09/18 at 9:27 pmYou know, Heather, my husband is in SLC right now, and I keep thinking, “That’s where Heather lives! That’s where Heather & Leta & Jon live!”
I keep trying to not be so groupe-ish about it, but there ya go. I guess I love dooce.com so much more than I’ve led myself to believe.
I have become – sigh – an unabashed fan of the poop/boob/fotherfucking mormon site.
And people said I’d never amount to anything.
Super Turtle Girl
2004/09/18 at 10:51 pmAlright Leta. Public transit rules although you may not know this unless you move away from the Western states. Keeps the fumes down, girl.
Shiz: It’s very funny but we have to say to people that ‘we know this woman who bla bla bla’ when we are relating the many hilarious stories from here because people would just not understand.

2004/09/19 at 6:02 amAny time you put a hat on Leta.. she mutates into a gangsta rapper.
