Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- 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.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

Her hair doesn't look so red in this one. What a little doll, eating her hands. :)
2. Dan said:
Eat your heart out John Popper!
3. Carrie said:
What a little schmoo. And that sweater she's wearing is too cute.
4. Charla said:
Just adorable!
5. erika said:
I love that sweater. Babies look good in every color. *sigh* :)
6. coolbeans said:
She is delicious!
You know, my kids have a harmonica and my toddler LOVES it. When we can find it, that is. Leta needs a harmonica!
7. Dale said:
Perhaps shes' playing the "My Momma Don't Poop Right Blues."
8. red said:
ummmm. cute.
9. Rachel said:
She looks sleeeeeeeepy. And adorable.
10. samantha said:
play it, Leta. Heather, I can't blame you for snacking on her cheeks. They look to be gourmet-grade cheeks!
11. beachgal said:
How adorable. That is one sweet little baby! She does look like she's playing a harmonica....maybe you should get her one?
How goes the PT to get her to put weight on her feet? I hope better.

UMMMMMMMMM......HAND! Listen, ma! I can play a song! Doo...dooo....dooooooooooo
13. debutaunt said:
Babies just have perfect noses. That's all there is to it.
14. WindyLou said:
Leta in Red..............
15. Mir said:
The further chronicles of Leta, Bad Home Girl. Yummy!
16. Tracy said:
Hmm... kind of looks like another gang sign to me, actually. Judging from the wardrobe, she's down with the Bloods. If she starts insisting on wearing her pants halfway down her diaper, you may want to consider an intervention.
17. Lindsey said:
Oooh loooooving the sweater :)
18. diane said:
I asked my mom once why babies love to stick their hands in their mouths. And she said, "Well, because they can, and they can get away with it."
Fair enough.
I love the colors in this photo.
19. Sarah said:
So, where did you get such a cute sweater?
We already know where the baby came from!
20. Lorie said:
Adorable. I'm with everyone else, I love that sweater. What a minute....sweater?! It's 95 degrees down in TX! Not fair at all ;).
21. kEma said:
I just wanna eat her chubby cheeks yummmmmmm and btw i think she's gonna be A MODEL ;) it's written on her ...CHEEKS
22. Grace said:
I still cannot believe how much she looks like her father. The eyes! The forehead! The nose! The ears! But she'll grow up to be just as beautiful as her mother.
23. domino said:
At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, gawd, she looks like her daddy!
"Ahm playin' the moveable type bluuuuues!"
24. Cora's mommy said:
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your site. It makes me smile and LOL every time!
25. Joy said:
Yes, it does look like she is playing a harmonica. Is she having the runny nose phase yet?
She does look a lot like her dad, but I see a bit of your good looks in her too.
26. robin said:
Or knawing her thumb off!

28. katherine said:
She's like a little baby Blues Traveler! Only.... in red.
29. Toni said:
I think she looks just like Timothy Hutton, yeah, yeah, I know she is a girl, but still...
30. Lisa said:
She *does* look like she's playing the harmonica. Or extracting a lima bean which she will fling across the room with a terrific backhand. :o)
31. Kellie said:
Yes, that's it!! Timothy Hutton. I knew she looked familiar. Beatiful Girls...
32. Lorie said:
I vote for looking sly. As in, "Don't fuck with me. I'm harmonicizing over here. Slyly."
33. Colleen said:
the song could be "(got me) the safety strap blues"
34. Anita said:
Scooter is so cute, I kissed the monitor.
35. Miguel said:
I don't know what to steal first, your daughter or your camera. You take lovely pictures, and you daughter is very cute.
-Miguel
SP: Before any freaks read this as a "threat" and report me to the police, i'd rather make clear that by stealing i meant to give a compliment. grrr.
36. Andrea said:
OMG I have to follow up after Miguel? Damn, lost my thought!
37. Heatheranne said:
Do you scrapbook? If you did, I'd bet you have one hell of a great one with all the great Leta pics!!
38. katy said:
She is so freaking cute, I wish she was in Delaware to give my chunks lessons!
39. jenny said:
this is off topic and about your period post, but who the hell has THREE DAY PERIODS?!
wait a sec... maybe i'm the weird one with week long ones.
40. Jenny said:
So cute! Jon's eyes.
41. Jenny said:
I echo the first jenny's disbelief. People who have three day periods are so fortunate.
'Who has week long ones?' *raises hand*
42. Rachael Simpkin said:
Dammit Leta is easily the cutest kid I've ever seen. I want her! Can I keep her? Please?
And to Jenny... Dooce was talking about PMS (PREmenstrual syndrome) meaning before your period. Usually 3-5 days before your period.
But yeah, I'm also dreaded with the week-long periods where as my friend has like 4-5 day periods!
Sorry if this is TOO off topic, Dooce. Leta's so cute! Hehe!
43. Sasha said:
She looks gorgeous in red. I adore this site.
44. Wendy said:
Only three days a month? That would mean that we (all the women in the world who use the internet) would have to cycle at the same time.
Which, when you think about it, may be how we end up in control of the world. Good idea, Dooce!
Is it wrong to want to eat someone else's baby? I just want to snack on Leta's little hands and smell baby head.
45. Kimberley said:
My boyfriend knows when mine is coming because I cry and constantly say, "WHAT does THAT mean?!?"
46. annakay said:
what i love is that she looks so adorable just absentmindedly sucking on her hands. why can't i get away with it?
47. DeAnn said:
Isn't she?
48. Jill said:
To make the rest of us annoyed, my cousin revealed that her periods are 2 days and she only needs pantyliners. Bitch. Anyhow, stay away from Stepmom and Steel Magnolias - although they always seem to be on when I can LEAST tolerate them. And by the way, your Leta is making me want to have children. My family thanks you.
49. Treasure Cocaine said:
You read Metafilter, if I remember correctly. Have you taken a look at http://www.jpgmag.com/? They're accepting photography submissions till October 4th.
50. Heather R. said:
My god, she's grown! Her eyes have a definite cognizance to them now. It's wonderful and cute and also, I bet, a sign that soon the little munchkin will be plotting some pranks of her own. My oh my.
51. kim said:
is that sweater old navy?
52. ginger said:
I have 3 day period's ... never thought I was weird till now. Once went for four years without one, now that was weird :(
53. christine said:
Leta "Droolin' Gums" Armstrong ...
she got dem blues...
dem thumb chewing blues...
(wah-heeeer-ah-heeer-waaaah)
That would be my harmonica playing right there. :)
54. Virginia said:
Man, are there a lot of comments to scroll through. I hope everybody's visiting those Google harmonica ads... harmonica sellers will be making a packet out of this page. Yeehaw. (Nice site, is what I wanted to say).
55. patti said:
Definitely get her a harmonica. Bought my son one at 6 months, produced HOURS of entertainment (for us and him)
