**SQUEAL** They're so beautiful!
At least there'll never be any question about paternity! :)
4. HazelEyedPisces said:
My heart just melted at all that CUTENESS. There's just nothing more precious than a father and daughter together.
5. domino said:
Goddamn, you have a beautiful family, Heather. Leta has the beginnings of Moveable Type hair, I think...
I'm so glad everything went well yesterday. *hugs* to all of you.
6. Hannah said:
I just...I just...I just can't find the words...
7. penelope said:
That is a beautiful photo. One you'll probably look back to when your 80 and just feel calm.
8. d. said:
Whoa! Like father, like daughter, holy cow. That's so cool.
Very glad to hear Leta is OK.
9. beachgal said:
Man, how awesome. You are so very lucky, Heather. You have a wonderful man for your lifelong partner, and you've created an absolutely incredibly beautiful child together. Continued good blessings coming your way from this fan in Myrtle Beach.
10. red said:
oh. mah. gawd. they are so beautiful. btw - the last line of your post today ".... my soul is wrapped up in the palm of a baby." yeah, got the tears flowing.
11. slick said:
awww...that's so precious.
there are no photos of me and my father, since he didn't want me. leta is a lucky little lady to have a daddy who loves her and cherishes her.
you guys are the best :)

Two adorable peas in a pod! :D
13. Regan said:
too...much...cuteness! can't...fight...the...

i once heard it said that the decision to have a child is the decision to have your heart walk around outside your body.
you have a beautiful heart!
14. sab said:

Your family is scrumptious! Glad everything is on the up and up.
20. Jazzy said:
beautimuss!
21. kim said:
i like leta's haircut. she looks like a punk (an adorable punk that is) - you're an awesome family, but i know you know that ;o)
22. Lauren said:
I think Leta is cuter than Jon, sorry. Nice shot, I'd frame it and put it on the wall but then you'd think I was the stalker.
23. alibean said:
Your Leta is full of baby cute-ness- those cheeks! that hair! those little fingers full of wiggles!
Jon is full of the hottness!
Heather is one lucky momma!
24. Carrie said:
What a great picture! They both look very wise, and also adorable.
25. jenny said:
it's hard to picture that cute little face screaming for hours on end. she's adorable!
(maybe someday we'll see an action shot of She Who Screams All Day and All Night? complete with cowbell!)
26. Aubrey's mommy said:
Ahhhh...another "mini-me"! My 6 month daughter is also a carbon copy of my husband. Gotta love those Daddy's Girls!!! She's beautiful!
27. Kira said:
Perfection.
28. Natasha said:
Lovely picture.
29. D'niece said:
Love your website, But girl if it ever looses it's umph~ Try photography as a husband and wife team. Some of the best candids I have ever seen have been on this website.
30. Cece said:
EEK! Are you SURE she wouldn't be interested in a Theodore look-alike? You could have Chipmunk grandbabies!
......that look like Jon.
Seriously...that is a beautiful picture.
31. jen said:
What a wonderful photo!!
She looks so much like her Daddy!!
Very happy that that the MRI showed that all is well!!
32. Candice said:
Oh, lordy.
Leta is the cutest cute that ever cuted, no doubt about that. But DAY-UM, Jon is hot. I just wanna say that you are extremely lucky to wake up next to him (not that you didn't already know that — and not that you're not the total hotness yourself).
I'll bet Jon loves reading all these "OMG your husband is the hottest!!!11" posts. :D

33. doulazanie said:
Oh my goodness! How beautiful is this picture? You have the most beautiful husband and daughter! And that camera? Totally need to get me one of those. No, my son does not need to attend college because I need a Nikon D70!
34. Angellivia said:
Look at her hair! The way it sticks up cute and staticky (ok, I know that's not a word)! She's adorable, and she looks so much like her Daddy!
35. Lindsey said:
Damn Girl, What a Gorgeous Family!!! Even Chuck is a Stud-Puppy :) What a Sweet Photo of Leta & Jon.
36. maxigumee said:
That is SO cute!
37. Rachel said:
Hot hubby, cute baby...what more can I say?
38. seannarae said:
ok, no *way* those 2 creatures are related. i'll brook no debate in this argument.
cant wait till you can twirl that hair up into pigtails, heather. wouldnt mind seeing Leta in some, too.

39. Wendy said:
Were you even in the same room when Leta was conceived?
That's a great pic, your family is beautiful!
40. Kate said:
Everyone else has mentioned how good looking your family is, so I won't, Jon and Leta will be impossible to live with.
What I want to know is when did Jon shave the beard?
41. AndiMAC said:
Too beautiful. You are a great photographer. Im glad I found this site.
42. G said:
Leta and John: Two for America in 04 (i dont mean to shout, but for some reason the caps lock is well...locked)
43. Amnesia said:
Oh.My.God - that cute little face. No Jon, I am talking about Leta.
44. sarcastic journalist said:
Too sweet, two cute. Love it. Love it. Love it.
PS. I looked up the camera price. Ouch. Can I just borrow yours?
45. Bre said:
Pretty, oh so pretty!
46. moose said:

Just precious!
48. Matt Ambrose said:
You bitch! Your husband is HOT. And of course the little chic is totally edible.
49. maria said:
i can't STAND it. too cute for words....what a lucky gal.
50. Tracy said:
When they had to put tubes into my daughter's ears at 18 months they gave her that same sedative. I concur -- the funniest thing EVER is a "drunk" baby.
51. Jo said:
Nope. They sure can't get cuter than that.
52. ellen said:
I'm glad there isn't an eleventh commandment that states "thou shalt not covet thy neighbors camera"?
You could just add it to the reasons I'm going to hell.
53. kimmy said:
not sure how it's possible that they keep getting cuter.
54. Erin said:
I love Leta's fuzzy head!
55. Rori said:
HOW is it possible for a child to be that cute? HOW!?!?!?!
56. em said:
your husband is h-o-t hot. and that baby's pretty cute, too. add chuck and this picture would be too much to bear.
57. traci said:
ahhhhhh, those cheeks! they almost venture into the jowly realm. i can see why her face would require daily munching.
58. Carny Asada said:
Wow! He certainly looks Scottish in this photo.
59. Manda said:
They are too cute! Not to be outdone, I had to post the two loves of my life on my site. (My daughter is a week younger than yours)
So glad the MRI went well. Your family was in my prayers.
PS: Does Leta have teeth yet? My daughter doesn't and I'm trying to figure out if I should feed her Cheerios and Twizzlers.
60. Gavinator said:
Wow. Gorgeous. The baby ain't too bad, either!!! I'll say to you what everyone said to me when my baby was born: you didn't have a baby... you just grew another husband in a petri dish.
61. Siobhan said:
So so cute! I'm so glad you got good news from Leta's doctor, too.
62. Tracy said:
Sure, not enough that we madly covet gorgeous Leta the Edible... now you insist on making your entire female readership (and probably a few of the guys) crush on your rockstar husband, too. Dirty pool, chica! The doppelgãnger combo is giving me the vapors.
Mind you, that's not to say you shouldn't keep 'em coming... Would love to see you try out the remote and catch a pic of your whole family (Dooce and Chuck included).
63. Illuminn said:
You are very blessed...
64. Amber said:
I love the picture. They sure are two of a kind!
I was looking through your photo archives and I could help but notice an ad for "W" ketchup under "Requisite Weekly Dosage of Letaness". I couldn't resist to click to see what it was and ironically, it is republican ketchup! lol.
Besides that all, I totally love your photos and I am glad that you added this feature to the site. You take great pictures. I just got a nice digital camera a month ago and I can't take pictures worth squat.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful baby with us.
Love in Christ,
Amber <><
65. Sarah said:
Peas in a pod. What a lovely photo!
66. Lori said:
Now that you've been posting blogging style, I come back here every hour, like a rat to the random treat button.
67. Christi said:
Beautiful Picture. Jon always looks different in every picture. The three of you certainly photograph well. Much love to you guys from LA.
68. LEAH said:
THAT BABY--I WANT TO EAT HER WITH A SPOON.
69. Cristina said:
PRECIOUS.
Loved the part about Leta loopy drunk. A friend of mine--her boy was about about 18 months when he fell and broke his leg, and for whatever reason, I guess to keep him entirely stable, they put him in a whole lower body cast--both legs. She had taken him to the grocery store and propped him up in the back, strapped in between the bags of groceries. Eric got hold of a bottle of mint extract and drank the WHOLE THING. Drunk. D.R.U.N.K.
Laughing, laughing, laughing. Ann was horrified and called poison control. They laughed at her!! They told her to just let him sleep it off.
Drunk babies are FUNNY!!!
70. Tammy said:
aww, look at those little tufts of hair. I just wanna tug 'em. Not hard, just a little :) Thank God she's ok, and we'll be praying for her continued health. Only 24.5 more years of her worrying to you death. You should put up a ticker ;)
71. heather the squirrel said:
you are the second luckiest woman in the world.
no, scratch that, you and i are tied for first place in that contest. what a completely lickable pair those two are.
72. Lisa Williams said:
Wow! they really are starting to look alike, no? But I also think she has elements of you too.

74. Veeg said:
Y'all purty.
75. Lesley said:
Leta looks like a beautiful flower that just popped out of the ground.
76. Christen said:
So beautiful :)
77. angie said:
I think the most beautiful thing about this picture--besides her little fingers on his collar--is how peaceful they both look. Jon is looking at you with such love in his eyes; you are indeed a blessed family.
78. another samantha said:
wow - what a gorgeous pair! Doing a little dance that Leta is fine and dandy, and of course I giggled when I read, 'my baby was drunk'.
also, may I second the notion that Leta looks SO CUTE in her really girly clothes.
79. Michelle S. said:
Sure she looks EXACTLY like Jon but I think somewhere deep down if you look closely she has Chuck's eyes?!!!! Actually in all honesty I think she looks like Jon but does have your eyes.
Poor Chuck...no resemblance!
80. Jenny said:
Leta looks so unbelievably cute in that picture. I think that's my favorite picture of her so far.
Her eyes seem brighter than before.
81. Super Turtle Girl said:
What amazing eye color. She's got that sultry catalog model look DOWN. She does look like her daddy.
82. HoneyBee said:
To quote Gene Simmons, "Ouch". That man is H-O-T!
I am so into your blog, especially the photos of Leta, that I share them with my coworkers. So, there are atleast 15 women in Az and one dude who have watched your daugther grow. It's even at the point that some ask if there are new pics. Now, I can tell them "yes" on a daily basis. How great is that!
Also, thank you for being so open about your struggles with mental illness. My husband has been diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. Reading about your struggles has helped me understand his, even though your illnesses are so different. Reading your blog has helped me to become a better wife. My marriage will make it, in part, because of you. Thank you.
83. susu said:
Dude must you be tired of all the "awws" and "how cute..". But I can only agree. Aww, how cute.
84. DeAnn said:
Oh my! I never saw it until you put them side by side like that!! They are SO twins!
85. Shannon said:
I've been a Dooce fan forever. I've loved watching Leta grow and your and Jon's adventures. This is a gorgeous photo. It is so nice to see such a sweet Daddy and his baby. I'm so glad you share the way you do. I've worried about you and thought about you often during the last few weeks, but looking at this photo it is easy to see that everything will be alright for you. You are indeed a lucky, lucky, blessed woman and I am so happy for you.
86. em said:
Heather -- I think you should tally these comments to make a list -- those who will babysit and those who will husbandsit.
Okay, I see my bus to hell just arrived. Must be going. Ta ta.
87. Camille said:
I'm such a sap, I always get all teary when I see a good picture of my husband with our kids.
88. lavonne said:
count me in for husband-sitting. :o]
89. Kristina said:
Oh, wow, it's the eyes. That is the cutest picture I have ever seen. Can I babysit?
90. amy said:
I'll babysit! My nephew can be my reference:
