3 teeth, go Leta! We're still eagerly awaiting the arrival of tooth number 1 in our house. The drooling and chewing has to be for something positive, right?
This picture was Photoshopped... there was a never a photo of my kids as babies from that angle that didn't include endless visions of crusty boogers. So the pic was doctored, or Leta is a robot baby. ;)
I swear if Leta has stalkers when she gets big we're going to blame you, Heather. ALL THAT CUTENESS couldn't be resisted.
No, totally adorable. And yummy. And curly.
I've seen the "how do you choose the ads" question come up a couple of times, and the answer is, you don't. The non-techspeak answer (which is all I know) is that Google AdSense pulls key words off the page and uses those to determine the ads that will appear. So the ads that appear in the morning will change as the overall conversation evolves.

Ah HA! Thanks Claude (and love your web diary too! Was living in Ellicott City for the last 2 years, now back "Down Under"), so if we all say SPASM, COCK, CUM SOAKED, FOREPLAY, POSITION, INSERT, VIAGRA, BUSH, TOYS, KINKY and ORGANISIM enough times throughout the day, you think we'll score some kind of Ad prize, maybe a link to some *new* online sex shop or raunchy Dubya pics (BAH!)? after all, we seem to be a rather ambitous lot!...and since Leta has already breezed through the book on orgasms, I figure she's ready for the big bad world of SEX! Of course, I mean the education of...sheesh!
but with THOSE eyes, Dooce and Blurb will be beating off the boys with sticks,WATCH OUT!
Im ranting, must.stop. its 5am, you know the A.M thats *real* early IN THE MORNING, Im jealous of you all- I cant wait for winter to roll around, not that, in Oz thats much different, but right now Im still up at this ungodly hour because its just too hot to lay down , even ON TOP of cotton sheets...its cold shower after cold shower at the moment...but thats a good thing when all you guys steam up the comments anyway :-)

Yippee!! more teeth = more capacity to create crumbs and grindy noises to FREAK OUT THE MAMA!! life is good in Leta world

Just had the eery thought that this pic is oddly reminiscint of The Blair Witch project...although Leta seems almost amused that the chase is on...and obviously those THREE (already, yikes!) big teeth will be enough to scare away any ghostly being, or brest-feeding momma for that matter!OUCH.
GO LETA!

I must admit - when I saw the thumbnail of the picture, I was a little frightened. Upon clicking on it, there was that cute face with the longest eyelashes EVER. What a cutie patootie.
"If you listen closely you can hear that third tooth shouting out “First! Am I First? I can’t believe I’m FIRST!â€..."
thankyou for making my night w/ this comment
And Leta is so thinking 'and for my next trick there will be THREE teethmarks on your boob today!'
(and I can so see Chuck in the background crying because this baby thing is growing teeth now)
Are you ready to buy a new cordless phone? And remote? Because with those teeth coming in, the Armstrong Household Objects Within Leta Reach are going to look like Chuck got hold of 'em. But hey, it's really bad parenting to pull her teeth, so let her gnaw away - I'd welcome the chance to buy new electronics, anyway! :)

very cute pic, but very creepy thumbnail that you made of it!
And to answer your question, yes. We can, in theory, steer the content of the ads via the content of our posts. Whether we do that for good or for evil I'll leave to other SPASM, COCK, CUM SOAKED, FOREPLAY, POSITION, INSERT, VIAGRA, BUSH, TOYS, KINKY ORGANISIM philosophers to deal with.
TOOFASES! She's got the cutest nose.. you just want to do that thing, ya know, "Haha I've got your nose!" and stick your thumb through your fisted hand... I always hated that when my grandpa did that to me.
I've never seen a little girl look so much like her dad before Leta. That's wild. Thank god Jon is so HOTTTT. Again, does he have a brother? Who likes sassy women? Who live in Minnesota??

62. RazDreams said:
that really is the scariest thumbnail i've ever seen... with her blue lips from being slightly cold during her bath, and the recurring images of dooce's halloween pix stuck in my head, i really didn't know WHERE that thumbnail would take me. methought perhaps she'd just about had enough of all the hate-mail and decided to do something about it...then took pix to prove that you don't mess with the dooce!!!

Nickki.....thank god for no more breast feeding???....hmmmmmm. Dont know about that! ; )
That is one cute, cute pic on the main page with Chuck peaking over the seat of your vehicle. It has that gopher popping his head up out of a hole look.
Reminds me of one of my favorite Chuck E. Cheese games
I'm not saying that I want to bap Chuck over the head with a cushioned mallet. Nope. or gophers that pop their heads out of holes. Not at all.
aww, forget it... just digging myself deeper here...

68. the other Paula said:
LOL @ Whack-A-Mole, thats exactly what I thought too!!and as usual, Leta is a doll.
Jons mom's comment about Chuck's peepee cracked me up!
Now back to watching Extreme Home Makeover.
I was going to post something just now but then my son decided to dump like a whole thing of bubbles over and instead of picking it up he just looked at it like "wow, that is spilling all over" while I screamed PICKITUPPICKITUPPICKITUP.
I just went and posted a Happy B-Day to George...everyone with blogger better look-out..he may be the reason it decides to take a CRAP again due to all his fan mail...HAHAHAHAAA
Leta is going to be sucha 'biter'..hehehe good luk with that :)
Are GEORGE'S! birthday present and Chuck's strange-looking pee-pee in any way coordinated? Because I think there would be no better way to say "We love you, GEORGE!" than with, say, a picture of Chuck's unit in that edible ink on top of a birthday cake.
(I'm available for all of your personal shopping needs.)

YOU GO LETA GIRl, chomp Mummy's nipple...thought I could hear vieled sarcasm in your joyous reaction to 'the third tooth'...
12. Megan said:
Awww. My mouth hurts for her...
13. Leta Eater said:
Surprised not to see claims of "first!"...but then again, this time round I would have preferred to side with Leta and exclaim, "Third, Mommy, Look!"
what a cutie pie...you could serve that delicious gobbly chin with ice cream! yum yum
14. Dr. Johnny Fever said:
I think it's time we introduce Leta to buffalo wings.
15. kEma said:
I am more impressed by the drool on her right cheek than the third tooth..and Oh my god those cheeks ..yum

Why are the rolls of chubbiness cute on HER and not ME?
22. the niffer said:
I hear ya, Sarah. Apparently, slobber isn't attractive on a 30-year-old either.
23. Danielle said:
I saw the mouth in the thumbnail and just for a moment thought, "Oh! Maybe it is Leta scre-eee-eaming."
Then thought, "nah, her mouth isn't open wide enough for screaming."
click
"Ah, baby teeth."
Great shot of her face, especially of her eyes.
My favorite pics of her so far are
1) the one at the dogpark in the red hat and
2) the third pic in monthly newsletter - month 10.

Mir - maybe that's an undocumented part of the Dooce Effect, photoshopping out the boogers.
I still say that somebody has to teach Leta to give Butterfly Kisses. Just look at those lashes!

She's a cutiepatootie.
