Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.

- 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!

She is indeed. She's a gorgeous baby. I can't wait to see who mine looks like; I'd love for him to have his father's eyes and dark hair. Six more weeks!
2. Karen said:
she still looks like you
3. 0xCC said:
Do I get the honor of a first comment?
Jonny Jr. for sure. A mini blurbo. ;)
4. 0xCC said:
D'oh! Missed the first comment by *this* much. ;)
5. Liv said:
She looks a lot like him! There's a look of you in there too, but the immediate image is that of Jon!
She is as gorgeous as ever.
6. Drama Queen said:
Wow. She really is his mini-me.
7. cathy said:
Man, she does look like him. But that might change. It's amazing how elastic and changing those family resemblences (sp?) are.
Both my kids looked exactly like their dads when they were little, as if I had nothing to do with them at all. But then, I took a picture of my younger son hugging my sister when he was 6, and he looked JUST like her. Now, he is in his late teens and looks nothing like his dad or dad's family, just mine. My older son looks like his dad's mom, who my husband doesn't look like--she skipped a generation somehow.

And what is the little one dressing as for Halloween? She already has kind of a Eye of Horus thing going on.
9. di said:
she really looks a lot like jon. but just wait! i'm sure she'll be rebellious like you soon enough!
10. beachgal said:
She is absolutely gorgeous!!! And boy does she look like Jon. There is some of you, too, but Jon will never be able to deny her. Not that he would, of course.
11. perception said:
absolutely adorable. =)
12. red said:
at least you named her something cool. a girlfriend of mine was named after her father.. she was dubbed "johnna." ick. leta is getting so big!
13. Em said:
Man, is she Mini-Me or what?
14. sab said:
She is so BEAUTIFUL!!!
15. HazelEyedPisces said:
She is a most wonderful blend of both her parents!
16. traci said:
hmmm, it looks like your home too has been assaulted and overtaken by baby accoutrements. welcome to the ranks of plastic decor.
she's delicious.
17. Angie said:
Jon looks good as a girl - who'd a thunk it!
18. Carrie said:
Leta is so adorable...and has the cutest, most serious looks on her face sometimes. Cute little top too.
19. Laurie said:
She looks like half of you, half of Jon. :)
However, she is still the cutest thing ever. How is the foot weight therapy going?
20. Daniel said:
That child is spectacular. Pics like this almost make you forget the times when they puke on your shoes and dump their Raisin Bran on the dog's head, don't they?

21. kara said:
You did say you wanted your children to have his eyes....Apparently they're part of the whole "face" package.
She's so adorable!
22. Dre said:
This has got to be my favorite picture of Leta yet! She looks so wise here -- it's something in her eyes.
She is a doll, that's for sure!
23. heathabee said:
She gets more beautiful each day.
I think that is the first picture I've seen of her that has made me realize how much she's growing up!
Beautiful baby, beautiful picture.. and yes, she's definitely a mini-Jon! :)
24. jess said:
wow, she does look like him! And quite possibly the cutest baby I've ever seen! I'm looking forward to the feeling of knowing that my child looks like me or my husband... but I still have a few years left.
25. Karo said:
In Polish, you would say Leta is "jak skora zdarta" of Jon. Literally, "like the skin ripped off."
Wheeeee!
26. Carie said:
She's gorgeous!
27. Heatheranne said:
I love her eyes!!!
28. Cristina said:
yummy cheeks...
29. ashley said:
sure sure does.
but who knows she might develop features of yours
when i was younger i looked like my mom (from ages birth - 14) then my hair started getting darker and i started to look just like my dad
so who knows, maybe leta will wake up lookin more dooce-ish
30. slick said:
*squeel!*
she's lovely!
31. Shelagh McIntyre said:
I just wanna give her a hug!
32. taryn said:
what a little lady!
33. Danielle said:
She can never grow up! Please say she'll stay the same forever!
34. moose said:
It's Monday. Are you crying as you predicted? If you are, remember that it will pass. I can so relate, and I hate it. But at least it doesn't last forever. Maybe Leta and Jon will give you huge tender hugs today. You deserve them (the hugs, too).
35. Bianca said:
I can’t tell you enough how much I love seeing the daily photos on your site and reading your daily entries!
Thank you for a daily lovely break from work!
BBB
Ps: your daughter is adorable
36. coolbeans said:
One cool thing about having kids? When they get bigger, you can holler for THEM to bring you the shaving cream/shampoo/toilet paper. The Toddler is coming along very nicely in his "Go Fetch" training.
And, as always, another faboo photo.
37. heather said:
OMG!1!1!1!1!
I got the 36th comment! I LURVE your site, it roxors my soxors! >.<
Can't believe I missed being the 35th comment by THIS much! I love you, your dog, your husband, your baby, your mother, your Nissan, your poop, your reconvening, your airplane trip, your food poisoning, that weird mole on youe back that sometimes itches but you can't reach it, and your PopTarts. God, woman, I love your PopTarts.
38. Kate said:
Your daughter is so beautiful!!
39. Jonna said:
Red says: "at least you named her something cool. a girlfriend of mine was named after her father.. she was dubbed “johnna.â€"
Um, back up Red. It's a perfectly fine name. And no, my father's name isn't John or Jon, but thanks for playing.

" I will call her Mini Blurb"
41. Mari said:
"Mini-Blurb" Hee!
42. Regan said:
such a serious look from such a small woobie! :)
43. Sheryl said:
Look! It's Jon with mumps.
44. kEma said:
OMG if she keeps looking more and more like Jon with every SINGLE day of her life, you have to pray one day to be able to distinguish them!
Just kidding :)) Kiss Leta Angel for me
45. Moxie said:
I know that face. That is the face thats in deep contemplation of what to get into next. I have lived that face. Do not let the face deceive you. That face says " heheh..she will never find the shaving cream now!" The mischief grows exponentially with each cheek smoosh.
46. Torie Hoffman said:
Look at those gorgeous eyes! Just beautiful. Out of curiosity, where did you get the name Leta from? I can't remember that you ever said. It is pretty, and quite unique.
47. Lindsey said:
What a beastie :)
Too cute!
48. Romi said:
gotta love a baby who loves an imitated guitar riff.
49. Jazzy said:
Is that a grey streak in her hair? Just kidding. Beautiful as always!
50. Carolyn J. said:
She may be Jon in the middle, but she's you around the edges. Oh, and Interpol Baby is the COOLEST. BABY. EVER.
51. Jonna said:
Torie -
The story of Leta's naming starts here:
http://www.dooce.com/archives/daily/02_05_2004.html
And then it's picked up a few more times under the Leta category.
52. Danielle from Avon said:
Does Jon have a sister? Did she look like Leta as a baby?
53. the mighty jimbo said:
i don't see bite marks on those cheeks. i honestly can't imagine how you can go a day without wanting to bite those cheeks.
54. krissy pants said:
Much to my chagrin, I grew up looking like a little blond version of my father. However, as I get older more and more people tell me that I resemble my mother. My husband likes to point out that I have all of her mannerisms.
By the way, I'm curious as to how you pronounce Leta's name. Is it Leta as in Lita Ford or Leta as in Lettuce??
55. C. Maoxian said:
She reminds me of Billy Joel's baby, Alexa Ray.
56. teach said:
Are you sure you're her mother?
57. rza said:
i am a photographer with the nikon d70. i loooovvve the nikon d70. i also think utah wins the award for "best lighting." i'm curious----i swear to you if i had taken a pic of my little one in this light it would have come out blurry. is leta like, an amazingly still baby or what? (see www.carissabyers.blogspot.com for a pic of my son who fell asleep eating in his highchair!) but. blurry. what's your secret, dooce?
rza
58. sweetney said:
wow, whatta resemblance.
also: mina (my daughter) had that very same exersaucer seen in the background...we called it "babylab" due to the odd test-tube-ish rattle attachment thingy (i'm guessing you know what i'm talking about), and made endless lame jokes about her diaper and drool experiments. babylab=RAD.
59. Andrea said:
krissy pants, Alexa Ray Joel hasn't been a baby for something like 18 years or so ;) Aside from that, she and Leta were/are both cute babies.
Funny thing about how family resemblences change. People who know both me and my dad always comment on how we look alike; yet as I get older, I notice how much more I'm starting to look like my sister, who takes after my mother and maternal grandmother...I don't think I look like my mom quite yet, but right now with my hair short like my sister's (and wearing her maternity clothes), sometimes I am startled when I look in the mirror and see my little sister looking back at me.
60. Michael said:
those eyes....
what is her blog's address going to be?
61. jenn said:
I love those cheeks!!! I just want to eat them.
62. Michael said:
Those EYES!
What will Leta's blog address be when she is of legal blogging age? Dooceomat?
63. Carrie said:
Ohhh so much cuteness! I wanna squish her yummy cheeks!
64. Carny Asada said:
"Your Daddy sure can't deny you" - my dad says that in his most hillbilly voice possible, so it sounds more like "Yeer daddy shur cain't denayh yew."
65. sarcastic journalist said:
"Mama, I've said it once and I'll say it again. Put down the pop tart and nobody gets hurt."
66. Becca said:
I had my niece over on Thursday night, she's a year old, and she wouldn't stay still long enough for me to take her picture. Leta's a mini Jon for sure, but there is still some of you there. :)
67. Lori D said:
hey....that's my favorite too!
And I love Leta with longer hair.
68. Gretchen C. said:
Mini-Jon, for sure. I see you've got a saucer for her. Aren't those things awesome? Never would have survived without ours.
69. Fran said:
Just like the meaning of her name from the Latin, she is a JOY to look at.
70. Shiz said:
What a lovely young lady. A Jon double, but pretty in the way that only girls can be.
71. Leon as Suzanne Vega said:
My name is Leta
Famouse in web logged lore
I might live next door to you
Yes, you may have heard me screaming before
She tries to to wipe my nose and then I cry
Makes mom look bad to passers-by
She just shouldn't try to anymore
She just shouldn't bother anymore
She just shouldn't try to anymore
My name is Leta
DJ Blurb and Dooce couldn't love me more
72. marybeth said:
indeed she is.. a carbon copy!
73. Toni said:
74. G~ said:
Indeed, Leta is just beautiful.
This pic is awesome.
I envy you your camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!
75. annakay said:
we always hear about this screaming little girl, but it must be that her mama loves her too much to show us that face.
76. Tonya S. said:
You are hilarious!Leta is adorable.Thanks for the baby oragel link. My baby is growing the first phase.
Toodles
77. Maggie said:
Upon reading today's entry, I immediatly set out on a search for the song by Interpol you were describing. I must say, it's an amazing song. Listening to it I can just picture you flailing your arms and spinning in big "Sound of Music" circles on a rooftop.
You need to get this kid in modeling. What other child will stand still long enough for a picture to be taken? Very few. I love the look in her eyes, it almost says "Oook..here we go again. Mommy has whipped out that black clickie-box thing. Time to pose. AGAIN."
78. Cate said:
You mean to tell me that if I'd had dinner at Chili's on Saturday - like I thought of but didn't - I'd have been privileged to witness Her Screamness in Action? I'm so bummed - to see that beautiful child in person (not to mention her HOT parents) would have been the highlight of my month. I guess I'll settle for the pictures.
79. Coelecanth said:
I think she's got a future in politics. I know, perish the thought, but Her Screaminess always looks adoreable rather than satanic for the camera. A great trait for a polictico no?
80. jelene said:
I'm sure that someone has already told you about this, or probably already sent you one in your shiny new post office box, but... they have "More Cowbell" tshirts on this website. Too funny!

81. Markee said:
I have no idea whatsoever how I found this website... but I did. Spent my no-so-productive afternoon reading, reading and reading somemore. It's weird - but I feel as though I now know Heather. Her wit and engauging rhetoric are insanly addictive. Needless to say, I now have something to while away the hours while trying to look busy...
82. Mir said:
Jonny Jr. is clearly thinking "Lies, all lies. I was a perfect angel at Chili's and do you SEE how she MANUFACTURES things to complain about? I am so patient." What a dollface. ;)
83. Cristina said:
Hospitaliano, my ass...but Chili's southwest eggrolls are so yummy. We actually dont have one in NYC and the first place we go when we visit fiance's parents is Chilis!!
84. Boom said:
So I heard that Chili's is being bought by Outback and soon Chili's will be no more.
Sad, I know.
85. lara said:
cristina, i think there's a chili's in times square. it's in the same building as the amc 25.
86. HG said:
My oldest daughter is my husband's clone too. The second one is all me though.
87. jenB said:
i would take breadsticks over chips any day. :-)
88. Tammy said:
She has such a serious little face. Does she take her playing as seriously as she takes her screaming and tantrums? She'll either grow up to be a poet or a drama queen :)
89. D said:
She is just too yummy!
90. DeAnn said:
Wow! She does look so very much like him.
I'm surprised you can see it, because I often find parents can see resemblances between one of them and their child.
91. Heather said:
She's adorable Heather. All I can say about the whole throwing tantrums at Chilis fiasco, is Cheerios. Lindsay, my 9 month old, will sit there quite happily if I just spill out some Cheerios on the table in front of her. Just a thought. I definitely feel you on the "way to early for tantrums" thing.
92. faith said:
Jon, in a frock.
No way around it.
93. Lori said:
She is beautiful, and those eyes? Good Lawd!
94. Susie said:
Unsolicited restaurant/baby advice: when our daughter was Leta's age and for some time beyond, she had a little-girl size "purse," (which she called the "puss" as soon as she was old enough to request it) and in it we kept little "playset" figures -- the Disney princesses, Pooh and friends, plastic "Little Bear" characters, all the tiny plastic rubber folks that she enjoyed. And this was the restaurant puss; the only time she saw the puss or the figures inside was in a high chair at a restaurant. That kept it novel enough and interesting enough to keep her well entertained at restaurants. Don't give up!
95. haley said:
oh, i just want to smoosh her cheeks!
96. George said:
I think she's the cutest baby in the whole family.... because she didn't receive that huge madison/boone head... and she's just really cute.
97. Beverly said:
I ate once at the Chili's in Sandy, Utah, and what I wouldn't give to do it again, conservatives, tantrum-throwing cutie pies and all. The biggest thing wrong with Sweden, in my opinion, is the marked lack of Chili's restaurants.
