Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- Bedtime, Leta lingering defiantly in the hallway. Jon: "If you want fart stories, you better get in bed RIGHT NOW."
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.

Those are what you call rosebud lips. What a beautiful girl. She and you are in my prayers!

Where's Chuck to come clean up some drool when you need him? Great picture. Bet you were happier at the MRI pics, though. Glad everyone's OK over there.
3. Lindsey said:
Awwwe she's a master at blowing spit bubbles! If there's ever an event in the Olypics for Spit-Bubble-Blowing, my money's on her for the gold :) Go Leta!!!
4. ereed said:
no feet? i want to see some drooly feets.
glad to hear she's okay. must of felt nice when you started to breathe again.
5. Erika said:
I am very glad that you are tolerating the agony that doing the PT with the girlie is causing the the both of you. I have a very clear understanding of how hard it is to do things like that to people you love, because you know they need it. Unfortunately knowing this doesn't make the pain any less when she screams.
Stay strong!
6. Rabooka said:
Does Leta know how lucky she is to have full lips? I am so glad the MRI gave you happy news.
7. Carrie said:
Oh, what a doll. Those eyes - that drool! Thanks for sharing her with us, and hooray for a good doctor's visit. We were all thinking about ya!
8. maxigumee said:
I used to *love* to do that! You know..... when I was littler. :P
9. Beth said:
Oh MY GOD! Totally edible!
10. Dez said:
Hee @ Beth.
Powerful cute.
11. Cece said:
Ah! It looks like the only thing Miss Leta is suffering from now is perhaps a case of Black Pearls.
*Black Pearls- the bits of fuzz that collect in the space where a babies neck should be (but isn't) after a day's worth of drooling and bib-wearing.
Do you think she would be interested in a man 3mos younger than her? My Miko is 4mos and he looks like Theodore from The Chipmunks. Is that her style, you think?
12. Veeg said:
Ah! Beautiful photo of the unfortunately-not-that-rare spit stalactite.
SO glad that Leta is okay. :)
13. annakay said:
and she has no idea the worry she causes you or how many fans she already has!
14. Tim said:
Looks healthy to me! Glad she got a clean bill of health.
15. pd said:
When facing that level of cuteness, I only have one reaction--
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!
16. beerzie yoink said:
Pretty wide-eyed for a groggy little girl!
17. beachgal said:
Aww....how precious! Glad to hear that the MRI turned out to be okay. As always, babies make moms worry for nothing. Yay for healthy babies!

19. ADD said:
Is it a photographic trick or do I spy red hair on Miss Leta? Every time I think she's gotten to her cutest, you top it with another great picture. So glad everything went well at the doctor!
20. ivana said:
Although I knew everything was going to be just fine...I AM SO FREAKIN' RELIEVED. I know you and your family are as well. Phew!
Now get some sleep. As for the photo, Leta looks like the cutest hypnotist on earth. I am looking into her eyes...and getting sleepy.
21. Suz said:
Oh, that picture makes me think of great-aunties and cheek pinching. SO adorable. SO glad that the tests prove that Leta is just perfect! YIPEE!!!
22. Wendy said:
What a little beauty! I'm so happy the MRI is over a everything is OK!
23. red said:

24. Angela said:
She is beautiful! I am so glad that all is well.
25. HazelEyedPisces said:
Those cheeks, I just want to gobble them up. Absolutely adorable!
26. haley said:
Glad everything turned out ok. I'm sure you're so relieved. I love her and want her for my very own. (My 9 month old needs a buddy to play with.)
27. Rachael Simpkin said:
OMG! She looks so adorable! Sorry Heather, but I have to say, Leta is THE cutest, most lovable little baby on the planet. I never tire of reading about her or looking at pictures of the little ball of adorablness!
28. Carrs said:
Though of you guys all day yesterday, phew, and thank you for posting. Nothing makes you more thankful for a mostly healthy child than visiting a children's hospital.
29. cee said:
Thank goodness everything turned out fine for sweet Leta! What a relief for your family.
30. slick said:
leta rocks.
there's nothing cuter than a drooling baby. am i right, or what?
31. sarah said:
I am so relieved for you. She gets cuter every day.
32. Terri said:
Is that PINK she's wearing? I don't think I've ever seen Leta in pink. Adorable!
33. Cristina said:
As Dana Carvey would say (yeah, whatever happened to him?)
"I am paralyzed by cuteness. Cant. Move. Too. Cute."
34. kim said:
I think that's skin and a pink bandanna around her neck. ;o) ??
isn't it just a great age where you have to change them all day because they slabber so much their shirt looks like they took a shower every hour if you happen to forget the bandanna? nice. she's really cute - and you know it ;o) i'm glad she's fine, too!
35. sab said:
Thank God she is ok!!! Someone that cute should never be in pain.
36. G~ said:
You don't know me (and that should be a great relief to you-ha!) but I enjoy reading here when I get time and was coming by to catch up when I read about Miss Thang's MRI!...wanted to let you know I'm sharing your relieved exhaustion! I know those are scary for kids..my (now 15yo!) oldest son had a spinal MRI when he was little.
This picture is absolutely adorable, btw...is it legal for so much cutie to belong to just one patootie?
Sorry. That just slipped out.

37. Jeanine said:
Is it okay if I say "I love that face"? Well, I do. Thanks.
38. Molly said:
Love the bubbles! Great, clear, fantastic picture.
I am happy to hear that the MRI showed everything to be normal.
39. Michele said:
Amen! She's okay--I've been worried and you were my prayers.
I love spit bubbles on babies, grown men is a no-no but babies--too cute!
40. Bianca said:
I am so glad that everything is okay with Leta!
She is so very cute!
Best wishes,

43. melanie said:

44. Shiz said:
OH THE CUTENESS THAT IS THE BUBBLES!
Thanks, Heather!

The muse struck:
Lovely Leta sweeter babe
Lovely Leta sweeter babe
Lovely Leta sweeter babe
Nothing will ever harm you
When it gets dark we’ll throw all fears away
Standing by the electric heater
Looking down, a glimpse of Leta
Filling in her diaper with a little brown poop!
With rosebud mouth, she looks much older,
And her bib across her shoulder
Makes her look a little like a little rock star!
Lovely Leta sweeter babe
May I inquire discreetly
When are you free
To give a hug to me
Every time we try to feed her
She makes a mess with her dinner
Don’t you know we always have to clean up again
Get the mop to clean up faster
Set her down after the disaster
Sitting on the sofa with Heather and Jon
Oh lovely Leta sweeter babe
Where would we be without you
Give us a wink and make us think of you
OK so it's not great poetry but it just spilled out, I couldn't help it. She's cute.
46. Kelli said:
So glad the MRI results were good. Miss Leta is a beauty.
47. erica said:
love her!
48. Aubrey's mommy said:
Spit bubbles are the best!!!
49. Margi said:
I'll just throw my "WHEEWWWW" into the mix. I'm very glad to read things are hunky-dory in Leta Land. But, as a mom, I know all too well that telling you "don't worry" is like saying "sun, don't come up".

How gorgeous is she?! Her eyes are hypnotizing :). Glad everything's ok with Leta! Been visiting you for a while now...love your blogs and designs :). Take care!
51. Amber said:
Aww! Now THAT'S cute! You should print that one out and keep it hanging on your wall.
I am glad that everything is ok with Leta. She's too cute.
Love in Christ,
Amber <><
52. Laura said:
Yay for okay head Leta!!!!
Oh the lippies!! The lippiness!
53. glynnis said:
I'd like to second the comment about the red hair. I was a redheaded baby myself, and my parents are always telling me the story of "how they knew for sure." So? Is Leta a redhead?
54. lori said:
Awwwwwwww! So cute!
55. Aliesha said:
I am so glad that Leta is ok! She is such a doll too!
56. Carrie said:
So thrilled to hear that the totally adorable, 'dot nrunk' Leta Elise is over her Nembutal and MRI induced hangover and that her head is a-ok. Wonderful news.
57. wheezer345 said:
She is cute! Glad everything is all right. Do you have any pictures of the #1 avon seller in the U.S.?
58. Super Turtle Girl said:
Wow. That's some drool. Howdja do that?
Your first drug experience. I'm so jealous. All they give me is milk.
59. maura said:
i am so happy to hear the results!!!! she is just beautiful as always!!!
60. MzOuiser said:
Ok, I'll be the 60th commentator! Such a loving fanclub little Leta has! Thank heavens everything is fine. Blessings to your family.
61. Jen P said:
Oh Miss Leta is so gorgeous! And I too see a hint of red in the hair! I was going to comment about it but being technologically challeneged only realised how now. Durrr....
Glad she's ok and hope her little exercises work out.
62. DeAnn said:
Holy cuteness! (no offense meant to God)
63. Erika said:
So happy Leta is ok!
She is such a cutie!
64. Peter Hentges said:
Reading the account of the MRI made me laugh out loud! Seriously, LOL! Nearly ROFL! I was all sorts of AOL-ish acronyms. (LETA IS DA COLEST BABY AND U R TEH BST MOM IN DA WORLD1!11! OMG LOL!!1!) (Loved the bit about the matches.)
65. Linda said:
I'm glad to hear everything went fine, cause I know how worried you were. You're a wonderful mother and Jon seems like the best a daughter and her mom could ever have.
66. Lauren said:
I love the mamabear instinct, it's so primal. But tell us what the doc said about Leta not putting any weight on her feet.
67. Angellivia said:
Y'know, if she ever decides to move to the UK, my nephew would be perfect for her, and my god would they have beautiful children!
She's gorgeous, and I'm so glad everything's ok.
68. Tracy said:
That is one stoned baby.
Dig how you captured the light on the spit bubbles just so...
69. katrina said:
ahahahahahaha!!!
it's the cuteness with the cute! :D
