I hate that it's so hard to remember. Even now, with my baby in grade school, I have those moments that I think, "please, God, let me remember THIS," this smile, this moment. I want to have an internal photo album that I can browse through joyfully when I'm old and she puts me in "the home."

Little Stevie spends several years in therapy before coming to grips with his first photo on the Net being him out cold in a fuzzy pink onesy (Parents, am I spelling that right?).
It's just baby crazy these days. My best friend just had a little girl, Stella. 3 of my coworkers all had babies this month too. MARCH BABIES RAWK!

Congratulations, Mrs. Dooce. You deserve your awards--for being honest and brave and hilarious, while also maintaining great hair AND walking the dog regularly. Hold your geek flag high, girl.
I was wondering the same thing as Suzanne. Does Kelly really like Stevie Nicks and wanted to name her third after her, or does she just have lots of pink baby clothes from her previous kids and decided to utilize them for her boy? Anyway, baby Stevie is really friggin cute.
I *love* that people are so excited to comment on your blog :) I'm always lucky to get one comment. Anywhoo, congrats on the bloggie win. That's always nice to hear.
Dr. J, do you need some help warming your chi-chis? Are your chi-chis chattering?
Susie - I'm almost 40, and if it wouldn't break her legs, my mom would be more than happy to have her "baby" sit in her lap. I exercise restraint in the matter.
Does anyone else wish they had a camera built into their retina so that they could capture precise moments? The moment when you think, "This. Right now."
Bucky Longstocking, it's not that you'd break your mom's legs, it's that she doesn't want that monkey mess all over her nice slacks...Jim told her about the resemblance...
CK, I dig you too. You actually appear to have some class, or at least you fake it really well, which is just as good or better...
So, Heather, when are you going to produce another little one?
Huh? Huh? When?

WOOO, I made it in before 70. Dam and I was up earlier too so I coulda maybe been the one to scream First. But I guess my brain doesnt function too well before 9. That baby is one cutie pa-tootie!
Katie BBAW - thanks, my ass feels all evened out now.
Guys, don't forget to listen to coskel's radio show at http://www.whfr.fm/
My god, they're playing "Kill the wabbit!" now!
And now our own coskel speaks!
Woohoo!
Congratulations Heather! And another congratulations to Kelly - what a beautiful baby.
Okay, here's my congratulations gift to you. It's a quick easy recipe that is OMG yummy beyond all reason. Do it, you won't be sorry.
You need:
A package of graham crackers
A cup of brown sugar
A cup of butter
A cup of chopped pecans
half a package of chocolate chips (I like the teeny tiny kind)
Now! Preheat the oven to 350
Spread the graham crackers (break them into their individual cookie pieces) all over a cookie tray in one solid layer.
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil, stir a lot.
Once it comes to a boil, stir in the pecans and then remove from heat.
Pour the mixture all over the graham crackers.
Bake for 10 minutes
When it comes out of the over sprinkle chocolate chips all over.
Eat them all by yourself before Jon gets home! You deserve it. :-)
This is some interesting music, Bucky. I really thought I would hear Kill the Wabbit. I had my volume turned up to loud and the entire office heard high pitched opera music. Woke everyone up.
One of my friends recently had her little girl, and we took some of Elizabeth's old toys and such over to her. When I got to hold the baby, I was amazed when she said that she was about 3 pounds heavier than Elizabeth was when she was born.

love newborns! she's so sweet and precious.
now off to catch up and read dooce...it's been a couple of days and feeling out of the loop!
Everytime I see a newborn I feel like I all of a sudden REMEMBER how tiny they are. So I guess even after I'm a mom I will still forget the littleness. Soooooo sweet.
A PSA:
New bloggers and wannabees, I won't even try to list names, but we all know dooce has inspired bazillions of us to give it a try. Recently, some of us have been talking about navigating some of the trickier aspects of this hobby. Check out the bloggie-award-winning post "How to Blog" (go see the 2005 bloggie awards to get it). It's a quick read, and actually makes sense. I have already broken most of the rules listed there, so it's too late for me, but you all still have a chance. Go on without me, learn to do it the right way...
Many congrats on the Bloggie Awards, Dooce! I was a panelist this year - it was fun. And hey, if you ever do decide to come to Austin some year for the ceremony thingie, I have a guest room. I don't mean that in the stalker way.

Okay, universe. I get it. Stop conspiring and using all these innocents to convince me to use these gonads the way God intended.
I mean, sheesh, I'm forgetful enough about those little ol' pills- couldn't you just take care of it yourself, universe??
tiffany, your post gives me hope that someday I'll actually be hungry again!! So sad. Hopefully, this so-called morning sickness (better known as all-day-sickness) will go away someday!!
Thanks, dooce, for sharing your stories- they make me feel less naseaus, somehow. :)
You guys really *all* need to get lives. You sit here all on your computers "rocking the f5", not getting any work done, praising la dooce like some sort of golden idol. All the while preventing me form being firts??!! Bastards.
greenie, that's when it's kind of athletic and you have to do it on a mat. Safety, first, I always say.

Mine is only 3 months old, and looking at that picture is already making me nervous. **mutters to self** ...it's too early, it's too early...you don't want Irish twins...
I always say, if you're gonna masturbate, put on some shoes with non-skid soles first. If you can't do that, at least, for pity's sake, wear a bicycle helmet. Not for safety so much as for sheer sexiness.
SO CUTE!!!,
I had a baby nine months ago and also everytime I see a newborn or a child younger than her, I can't remember her ever been that small.
I love your site

It's nice that they're secure enough in their son's masculinity to dress him in pink.
Jack is Jack. Jack be nible, Jack don't be so quick. EVERYBODY MASTURBATE! And then come post about it on dooce's comment section. I can't wait for the Avon WSL to read about this.
Kill The Wabbit - Its my THEME music, but I'll play the entire thing next week if ya'll want. :)
I also have a bunch of recordings of Kenney from South Park singing opera- I have been meaning to do an entire show about opera in TV/commercials - if anyone wants to send me their favorites...thanks SO MUCH for tuning in ya'll - it means SO MUCH.
I used to have a massaging showerhead - those things are magnificent. I work in patents and trademarks, and my one boss did a trademark on this shower - the trademark was called the "Down Under Wonder" shower head. DOWN UNDER WONDER! Can you believe that shit? It was supposed to reflect the fact that it was conceived in Australia, but it means SO much more. I don't know if the guy who made them realized that. Anyway, the inventor guy gave me one of them, and that thing is awesome. It moves up and down and you can put it down REALLY low. Good stuff. My down-under is definitely in wonder.
Kendra: yeppers - every Tues at 10AM.
I will also be filling for an indie rock show tomorrow night at 8PM, where I get to be much more rude and crude and not nearly as "fa fa fa" nose in the air. lol
The wonder shower looks wonderful, *but* how wrong is that the glimpse of the videp shows us a man, its a man see his muscles? showering...BUT when you watch the clip its not a man baby. EEEWWWWW
Spoony, my husband was using the potty and I heard a noise and I asked if he spelunked. He was like huuuhhh?
Katie-BBAAW: Thanks for the URL - that is hysterical. And you heard it from Ruth Peebles: "...after a long hard day it eases the kinks and knots in my monkeky's shoulders and back."
Excellent choice of name, I say, regardless of Gender. Did you eveer get "Father Dowling Mysteries" down in the states? There was a character named Sister Steve on that show. I had a crush on her, which as sad as this is, was due more to the fact she had the same name as me then anything else...
Heather Armstrong, a web designer, gained notoriety when she was fired from her job for what she had written on her blog about her workplace and colleagues.
She helped coin the phrase "dooced", which means to be sacked because of a weblog's content.
Her site ended the night as the best US, most humorous, best taglined, and best-written blog.
So glad to be one of the Dooceling voters...and glad to have voted for someone who ACTUALLY won...unlike some recent political races in which I've cast my vote. ;-)
Dooce,
My youngest is in kindergarten... FINALLY! Please, for the love of God, please!, stop posting adorable baby pictures. My husband's gonads have been altered, so I may be driven to jumping the UPS guy for his little packages, if you know what I'm sayin'. I think you DO.
Sincerely,
Cat's Ovaries
Cute lil' baby. I liked the thumbnail picture; I thought it looked like cotton balls at first, but I couldn't figure out how come they were sporting a nice pink to blue gradient. All is answered now.
Actually, by the time it got here, it had gained momentum and was SO loud it is still reverberating off the walls. I must leave home now, for a while, and hope it stops soon. (Um, being a techno-dunce, I don't quite know how this works, but comcast has recently added that "fart-sound-email" feature for such occasions, and I'm telling you, it works...)
Heather,
Congratulations on the Bloggie Awards! I know that I always find your site humorous, creative and just all-around enjoyable. The commenters are ‘out-there’ and hilarious as well – albeit a tad ……candid – which make for a very interesting, but also very unproductive day at work.
Love it all,
giggles
PS: Little Stevie is adorable - congrats to your friend Kelly!
Of course you got the blogger award - did you have any doubts!? Did anyone else check out the Asian blog winner? Talk about narcissism! Anyone ever been to Nashville? I'm moving there this summer and being from Colorado, transplanted to big city Chicago, I'm not sure how I'll do with the southern thing.
Does anyone ever start reading the first few comments, and then get bored and scroll down to the bottom to read the last few, only to think, "WHAT THE HELL?!?" Yeah, that happens to me every day over here.
Congrats on the blog awards Dooce! =) That's an adorable baby, btw. I too cannot believe mine were ever that tiny. *sigh*
I start reading from the bottom usually. The top ones are all like first? first!! and boring comments about the picture (even though she is cute as hell). Maybe if the first commenter was all like "my farts smell like brocoli and my dildo is freshly sanitized" we could get the top party started.
OMG! I totally just read the first three comments and scrolled down to see what was really going on!
I'm having sourkraut and smoked sausage for dinner, so I should have some pretty good fart talk tomorrow. Maybe I'll be FIRST! and can start the party off right.
Kait, cmj - Thanks for the laughs! I must dig out the Family Guy DVDs. Stewie is too much. We're going to teach our daughter "Blast!" and "What the deuce!"
But, at the end, you all agree size isn't important, right? So, that's not just some lie someone made up. You're all agreed on that ... right? Right?

Nilbo, sorry to burst your bubble. But yes, we do.
And I TOTALLY scroll down to the bottom and read the last few comments before posting. I can hardly keep up as it is without reading everything else (though I used to try). Sometimes it DOES get confusing, but that's part of the fun. You can just jump in with some non sequitor ("I agree, KY jelly tastes nasty") and everyone after you will think it's part of the previous conversation.

A PSA:
New bloggers and wannabees, I won't even try to list names, but we all know dooce has inspired bazillions of us to give it a try. Recently, some of us have been talking about navigating some of the trickier aspects of this hobby. Check out the bloggie-award-winning post "How to Blog" (go see the 2005 bloggie awards to get it). It's a quick read, and actually makes sense. I have already broken most of the rules listed there, so it's too late for me, but you all still have a chance. Go on without me, learn to do it the right way...
116. Sque said:
OH.MY.GOD...The cuteness!!! MY OVARIES JUST EXPLODED!!!
117. Laurie said:
Is Stevie a little boy in pink? Way to go mom and bashing down those gender roles! :D
118. JeniLReno said:
Granted, I haven't read through all the comments yet, but why is Stevie wrapped in frigging pink?
119. bigbigtruck said:
Congratulations!
120. JeniLReno said:
Awe man, is Stevie a girl's name? Stevie Nicks girl?
121. Pete said:
Leta is still cuter than Stevie.
122. Andrea in Canada said:
Dooce.com...congratulations! Well deserved! :)
123. Badger said:
Many congrats on the Bloggie Awards, Dooce! I was a panelist this year - it was fun. And hey, if you ever do decide to come to Austin some year for the ceremony thingie, I have a guest room. I don't mean that in the stalker way.
124. Me Now said:
Okay, universe. I get it. Stop conspiring and using all these innocents to convince me to use these gonads the way God intended.
I mean, sheesh, I'm forgetful enough about those little ol' pills- couldn't you just take care of it yourself, universe??
125. Gooooder said:
wow Stevie is teeny!
and GEORGE! is hot stuff
126. becca the never hungry pregnant lady said:
tiffany, your post gives me hope that someday I'll actually be hungry again!! So sad. Hopefully, this so-called morning sickness (better known as all-day-sickness) will go away someday!!
Thanks, dooce, for sharing your stories- they make me feel less naseaus, somehow. :)
127. Strizz said:
You guys really *all* need to get lives. You sit here all on your computers "rocking the f5", not getting any work done, praising la dooce like some sort of golden idol. All the while preventing me form being firts??!! Bastards.
128. greenthumb said:
Poor, poor Striz...it's never enough is it baby? Don't hate, masterbate...say it with me...DON'T HATE, MATERBATE.
129. TS Eliot said:
Kelly's baby
in the fuzz
Makes a momma's heart
buzz with love

Only one year
later one little
Leta full of love
points a finger
at the future
finds you there, too.
130. AndreaBT said:
I'm here, wanna play.
MY baby has other ideas.
131. greenthumb said:
HA! HA! HA! MATerbate
132. Susie said:
greenie, that's when it's kind of athletic and you have to do it on a mat. Safety, first, I always say.
133. AndreaBT said:
Mine is only 3 months old, and looking at that picture is already making me nervous. **mutters to self** ...it's too early, it's too early...you don't want Irish twins...
134. Liv said:
I just want to smush her!
135. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Safety First. Spoken like a true mother, Susie.
I always say, if you're gonna masturbate, put on some shoes with non-skid soles first. If you can't do that, at least, for pity's sake, wear a bicycle helmet. Not for safety so much as for sheer sexiness.
136. Susie said:
Bucky, how'd you know what I'm wearin'? Keds and a Hello, Kitty! helmet here.
137. smokeyJoe said:
yay heather! way to go. you are definitely my favorite read.
and george...well, baby does have back!
138. greenthumb said:
how sick are we? babies and materbation...such diversity, such depth.
139. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Susie, by the time you slide into the home stretch, you'll be howlin' "HelooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOH Kitty!"
140. Susie said:
Yea, but it's more like Kit-taaaaayy!
141. Susie said:
OK, later, ya'll. I gotta go now and hose down my mat.
142. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Gotta go snag a burrito.
Don't nobody masturbate 'til I get back.
You're on your honor about this.
143. picklemom said:
SO CUTE!!!,
I had a baby nine months ago and also everytime I see a newborn or a child younger than her, I can't remember her ever been that small.
I love your site
144. Stacey said:
It's nice that they're secure enough in their son's masculinity to dress him in pink.
145. robin said:
Stevie's in pink! :-)
146. spoonleg said:
c'mon guys, bucky's gone- I'm breaking out the Jack Rabbit. Jack does it for me every time!
147. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Spoonie, I'm watchin' your asspelunkin' self.
The Jack Hammer works better for me, by the way.
148. kalki said:
It's Ben Wa Balls for me!
149. kalki said:
Oh god, Bucky! We thought you were...er...gone for burritos. Now I just feel ashamed of myself.
150. spoonleg said:
Jack is Jack. Jack be nible, Jack don't be so quick. EVERYBODY MASTURBATE! And then come post about it on dooce's comment section. I can't wait for the Avon WSL to read about this.
151. spoonleg said:
nimble. I totally meant to say nimble. But nibble works, too. Either way. I heart Jack. and Ben, too. THREE WAY!
152. Torrie said:
I'm all about the massaging shower head.
I take some long showers.
153. kalki said:
I feel wrong talking about this with that heavenly pink baby above the comments.
Dooce: Desecrating lovely pink babies with masturbation.
See, it sounds NASTAY.
154. coskel said:
Still on the air!! :)
Kill The Wabbit - Its my THEME music, but I'll play the entire thing next week if ya'll want. :)
I also have a bunch of recordings of Kenney from South Park singing opera- I have been meaning to do an entire show about opera in TV/commercials - if anyone wants to send me their favorites...thanks SO MUCH for tuning in ya'll - it means SO MUCH.
And I am all about the fuzzy babay coats.
155. Lisa said:
Way to go cleaning up at the Bloggies, Heather! You deserved them all! :)
156. lawbrat said:
Cute baby. So sweet. Then they learn to move around and say stuff.
157. kalki said:
The fact that spoonleg isn't commenting means she was serious about the Jack Rabbit, doesn't it?
158. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
I used to have a massaging showerhead - those things are magnificent. I work in patents and trademarks, and my one boss did a trademark on this shower - the trademark was called the "Down Under Wonder" shower head. DOWN UNDER WONDER! Can you believe that shit? It was supposed to reflect the fact that it was conceived in Australia, but it means SO much more. I don't know if the guy who made them realized that. Anyway, the inventor guy gave me one of them, and that thing is awesome. It moves up and down and you can put it down REALLY low. Good stuff. My down-under is definitely in wonder.
159. greenthumb said:
sorry Kalki...it was my fault...I feel DIRTAY!!! blame it on the cold medicine.
160. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
"What's Opera, Doc?"
You funny, coskel!
161. coskel said:
Kendra: yeppers - every Tues at 10AM.
I will also be filling for an indie rock show tomorrow night at 8PM, where I get to be much more rude and crude and not nearly as "fa fa fa" nose in the air. lol

It's okay, greenie, sometimes the cold medicine moves you.
and spoonie, OH MY GOD. ;)
165. spoonleg said:
anyone got a cig?
166. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Check out the Down Under Wonder shower. It is made by the Extremely Large Plumbing Company. Seriously.
http://www.wondershower.com/
167. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Spoonie, I've got a spare cigar you can have. Fresh from the Lewinsky humidor.
168. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Here ya' go, Spoonie. Hope you like Marlboro Ultra Lights 100s.
169. Amanda B. said:
George is a sexy bitch. Somebody needs to smack dat ass.
170. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Does that cigar taste like chicken?
171. coffeegirl said:
What's that smell? Oh, it's new baby sweetness seeping from my monitor.
If Kelly finds three kids to be too overwhelming, I volunteer to adopt Stevie!
172. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
KatieBBAW: not so much chicken as halibut.
173. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
At least it doesn't taste like catfish.
174. Strizz said:
The wonder shower looks wonderful, *but* how wrong is that the glimpse of the videp shows us a man, its a man see his muscles? showering...BUT when you watch the clip its not a man baby. EEEWWWWW
Spoony, my husband was using the potty and I heard a noise and I asked if he spelunked. He was like huuuhhh?
175. Torrie said:
Katie, I love you more and more every day.
When are you going to come to NY city to visit me?
I have a guest room AND a massaging shower head.
176. spoonleg said:
ahhhh, that's better. thanks katy and katie. now I need to go buy some more DD batteries. These bad boys are spent.
177. kalki said:
Katie-BBAAW: Thanks for the URL - that is hysterical. And you heard it from Ruth Peebles: "...after a long hard day it eases the kinks and knots in my monkeky's shoulders and back."
178. Strizz said:
MMM I want some black and blue salmon, or chicken. whatever. Or salmon new orleans MMMMMMMMMMM
179. Torrie said:
Spoony, is it my turn yet?
180. santa cruz carolina said:
congrats on the bloggies!!
181. Strizz said:
Double Wonder Shower Combo
Wonder Shower & 2 Arms
182. Strizz said:
bueler?
183. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
We're SHOWERING, Strizz.
184. Strizz said:
torrie if your sharing dildos that is SOOOOOO gross. Seriously. I don't know why, it just is.
185. Strizz said:
wtf Im a dirty girl, noone invited me?!?!
186. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Strizz, grab a little showerhead while you're here.
Oops! Who dropped the soap?
187. spoonleg said:
no one involved you, Strizz, because you don't know how to SHARE.
Now who wants to borrow the JR?
188. Torrie said:
Strizz, what are friends for if not for sharing?
189. Torrie said:
Spoony, me first, me first.
190. Strizz said:
* i am plotting my revenge bitches. Want to push me out of the circle of trust??? Oh yeah, there will be a lifetime movie about this shit.
191. Torrie said:
Strizz, we still love you, you just need to learn how to share the rolling pins, and the Jack rabbits, and such.
192. Stv. said:
Excellent choice of name, I say, regardless of Gender. Did you eveer get "Father Dowling Mysteries" down in the states? There was a character named Sister Steve on that show. I had a crush on her, which as sad as this is, was due more to the fact she had the same name as me then anything else...
193. Torrie said:
I'm lonely.
194. spoonleg said:
Here, Torrie. Jack will keep you company. Use some hand sanitizer and replace the batteries first, will ya?
195. Karen said:
You made it to the BBC!!!!
Heather Armstrong, a web designer, gained notoriety when she was fired from her job for what she had written on her blog about her workplace and colleagues.
She helped coin the phrase "dooced", which means to be sacked because of a weblog's content.
Her site ended the night as the best US, most humorous, best taglined, and best-written blog.
196. Torrie said:
Sure spoony. Isn't that what any self respecting person does when she borrows a friend's vibrater?
197. Lorrian said:
Heather B. - Congrats on all the Bloggies!!!!!!
So glad to be one of the Dooceling voters...and glad to have voted for someone who ACTUALLY won...unlike some recent political races in which I've cast my vote. ;-)
198. cat said:
Must... stop looking... at... scrumptious... baby cheeks!
It's madness!
199. kat said:
beautiful baby! congrats on the awards!
200. Home Detention Lady said:
Spoonleg, the LONE MASTURBATING PERVERT, you sick little shit
201. Home Detention Lady said:
I'm also hoping that Stevie is a girl, like Nicks, that would be soooo cool
202. cat said:
Dooce,
My youngest is in kindergarten... FINALLY! Please, for the love of God, please!, stop posting adorable baby pictures. My husband's gonads have been altered, so I may be driven to jumping the UPS guy for his little packages, if you know what I'm sayin'. I think you DO.
Sincerely,
Cat's Ovaries
203. Closet Metro said:
HDL - Spoonleg is not the "lone masturbating pervert" around here. There's a whole club of masturbating perverts.
204. spoonleg said:
I am their leader.
205. Trance said:
Congrats on the Bloggies, Heather, you rocked it.
Awesome picture. God, I can't imagine mine being a little bean like that again, either. So, so adorable.
206. spoonleg said:
Can I just say...
CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON
THERE'LL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE DONE
LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST
DON'T YOU CRY NO MORE. NO!
Yes, spoonleg's rocking that kansas.
207. Circus Kelli said:
greenthumb #131: HA! HA! HA! MATerbate
----------
So... if you do that with a tomato its "tomatobate"?
208. Strizz said:
I fish with bait
209. Circus Shakespeare said:
TOMATOBATE, OR NOT TOMATOBATE...
Wait, what was the question?
210. Closet Metro said:
is it Twat Twiddling Tuesday?
211. Jenna said:
New to the site, grats on the bloggies, cutest baby EVAR.
Carry on.
212. honestyrain said:
watch out else someone will kiss that adorable little face right off! what a little bunny who is cuter than a person has a right to be.
congratulations to Kelly and her family.
213. Meggan said:
Cute lil' baby. I liked the thumbnail picture; I thought it looked like cotton balls at first, but I couldn't figure out how come they were sporting a nice pink to blue gradient. All is answered now.
214. Susie said:
Try to be gracious to somebody here, give them a compliment, and they send you a fart in an email. Nice, real nice.
215. Circus Kelli said:
Susie... I *wuv* you...
I'll bet it was one of the silent ones, though, wasn't it?
216. Stacy said:
What do you call an expert fisherman?
A master baiter.
217. Susie said:
Actually, by the time it got here, it had gained momentum and was SO loud it is still reverberating off the walls. I must leave home now, for a while, and hope it stops soon. (Um, being a techno-dunce, I don't quite know how this works, but comcast has recently added that "fart-sound-email" feature for such occasions, and I'm telling you, it works...)
218. Circus Kelli said:
Whoa, Susie. Interesting.
219. kalki said:
And with the fart heard round the world, the conversation drops.
220. GMM said:
OMG what a cutie. I love them when they're tiny.
221. eddo said:
Cute!
222. cmj said:
I'm already jonesin' for another baby, and then this picture. Damn it all to hell!
Add me to the numbers who would like to know, for curiosity's sake, the reason behind her name.
She's BEEEE-you-ti-full.
223. melle said:
totally adorable. aren't newborns just the greatest thing on earth.
224. Henryk_ said:
Morning all...sheesh, why all this preoccupation with cutesy pie kiddi pics.....aaaawwwwwwww aint the bub sooo sweet!
225. Henryk_ said:
Aha, I see that we have degenerated to chatting about farts.......keep up th good work!
226. mrtl said:
Oh Henry, that's the tail end of it. :)
Cute kid.
227. Torrie said:
I know all of you sick bitches will appreciate this picture:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/torrie/6611468/
enjoy
228. mrtl, a sick bitch said:
Torrie, I'm not impressed. Make the monkey dance some more.
229. Henryk_ said:
that’s the tail end of it? hohoho...cute!
230. mrtl said:
Really Henry. Catch up and be jealous about missing it. I am.
231. Kassi said:
OH MY GOSH that baby is so snuggly I just want to eat it!!
My mommy pangs are kicking in...I've already got three kids...why do I want another one? why why why?
232. Kassi said:
Ok...I just showed my husband that cute bunting baby photo and he started trying to pinch the computer screen...ohh baby cheeks.
233. AndreaBT said:
OK, Henryk_, I've gotta know...what time is it Down Under NOW?
234. Harv said:
A Buzz Lightyear! No Way!
235. AndreaBT said:
Buzz Lightyear? Eh? What'd I miss...?
I love chatting in comments. It gets SOoooo confusing!
236. AndreaBT said:
Baby's awake, oh well...gotta go.
237. Circus Kelli said:
Kassi #231: You must be getting too much sleep these days. :)
238. RazDreams said:
cute baby indeed...
239. Stacy said:
Congrats on the Bloggies Heather!
240. Burdanilex said:
Congrats on the awards!!
Awww Stevie is a cutie!
241. giggles said:
Heather,
Congratulations on the Bloggie Awards! I know that I always find your site humorous, creative and just all-around enjoyable. The commenters are ‘out-there’ and hilarious as well – albeit a tad ……candid – which make for a very interesting, but also very unproductive day at work.
Love it all,
giggles
PS: Little Stevie is adorable - congrats to your friend Kelly!
242. Tammy said:
What a little snugglumpkin. congrats to your friend :)
243. Kait said:
I keep reading it "Little Baby Stewie".
"Soooo Broccoli, mother says you're very good for me. But I'm afraid I'm no good for you."
244. cmj said:
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Kait!
"Who the HELL do you think you are?"
245. Maggie said:
"I'd love to stay and chat but you're a total bitch."
Who doesn't love Stewie.
246. Kait said:
Lois: What's going on down here?
Stewie: Oh, we're playing house.
Lois: That boy's all tied up.
Stewie: Roman Polanski's house
247. H in Chicago said:
Of course you got the blogger award - did you have any doubts!? Did anyone else check out the Asian blog winner? Talk about narcissism! Anyone ever been to Nashville? I'm moving there this summer and being from Colorado, transplanted to big city Chicago, I'm not sure how I'll do with the southern thing.
248. Kassi said:
Stewie gives me a complex.
249. bethiecow said:
Does anyone ever start reading the first few comments, and then get bored and scroll down to the bottom to read the last few, only to think, "WHAT THE HELL?!?" Yeah, that happens to me every day over here.
Congrats on the blog awards Dooce! =) That's an adorable baby, btw. I too cannot believe mine were ever that tiny. *sigh*
250. Spurious Plum said:
Kait and Kassi - 'Damn you all!'
251. Strizz said:
I start reading from the bottom usually. The top ones are all like first? first!! and boring comments about the picture (even though she is cute as hell). Maybe if the first commenter was all like "my farts smell like brocoli and my dildo is freshly sanitized" we could get the top party started.
252. Katrina said:
OMG! I totally just read the first three comments and scrolled down to see what was really going on!
I'm having sourkraut and smoked sausage for dinner, so I should have some pretty good fart talk tomorrow. Maybe I'll be FIRST! and can start the party off right.
253. Katrina said:
Hey, don't you just love how I did some fusion with the Sourkraut making it American and German all in the same word!
254. Dawners said:
I rather like that this comment area is more of a "bottom system" party. It seems fitting for some reason.
255. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
So, Strizz...
*Is* your dildo freshly sanitized?
Or did you bring that damn lumpy thing in here again?
256. JuicyV said:
OMG how precious. And teeny. And adorable. Babies are so cool.
257. anarchocyclist said:
Damn! You outted GEORGE! as a sexually active adolescent. You know he's gonna get The Talk now, right?
But Jon is right. Totally use a condom, bro.
258. mrtl said:
Kait, cmj - Thanks for the laughs! I must dig out the Family Guy DVDs. Stewie is too much. We're going to teach our daughter "Blast!" and "What the deuce!"
259. greenthumb said:
not only did she out her cousin, but she's shattered the inner sanctum of female bonding rituals.
(tries to picture mom, aunt and friends discussing cocks....aaaahhhhhhggggg!)
Runs screaming from the comment log.
260. Nilbo said:
"Victory is MINE!"
261. Nilbo said:
Aw, c'mon. She was just teasing. Women don't really talk about stuff like that. Really. They don't. Umm .. do they? Please say they don't.
262. Torrie said:
COCK!
COCK!
COCK!
263. Nilbo said:
Oh, sure ... in HERE. But ... not in real life ...?
264. Spurious Plum said:
Sorry Nilbo, it all comes out.
265. Nilbo said:
(sigh) I was afraid of that.
266. Nilbo said:
Er, I mean ... hey, fine by me.
267. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Not all of us, Nilbo. I keep my yap shut about the Magic Stick.
In return, Jim never discusses the Giant Clam.
268. Nilbo said:
But, at the end, you all agree size isn't important, right? So, that's not just some lie someone made up. You're all agreed on that ... right? Right?
269. AndreaBT said:
Nilbo, sorry to burst your bubble. But yes, we do.
And I TOTALLY scroll down to the bottom and read the last few comments before posting. I can hardly keep up as it is without reading everything else (though I used to try). Sometimes it DOES get confusing, but that's part of the fun. You can just jump in with some non sequitor ("I agree, KY jelly tastes nasty") and everyone after you will think it's part of the previous conversation.
