Is this taken the second before she screams because she did not receive said object?
She’s adorable! I love both your blurbs, and I belong in the camp that think dooce.com has become MUCH MORE INTERESTING since Leta was born. Because I too am a mother. Keep it up!
The sock monkey is fine. At the time of this shot, he was, in fact, living in warmth in the house (away from Chuck and enjoying hot chocolate with Bailey’s). That’s why Leta wanted the phone.
Based on Leta’s weight and height (she’s much taller than the average 1 year old) and the manufacturer’s recommendations, Leta can face forward. Please note that Leta is sitting in the back seat away from any air bags. Also, our vehicle has the LATCH system. Leta is buckled in tighter than I (or you, I’m guessing) ever was (were).
I could write more, but Heather is sighing because we have to watch the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search. I’m not complaining.
whew, thank god the monkey is alright. having recently seen “28 Days Later”, i now know all too well the potential horrors out there awaiting our simian friends.
horrors beyond having a baby gnaw on your appendages, that is.
that picture makes me want to just hug and squeeze her – she is just too adorable!
Unbelievable how BEAUTIFULl Leta is….*and*…..
Dear god, she has ADULT-SIZED HANDS…whoa…Jon, she’s going to be 8 ft. tall!!
How did she handle not receiving said object?
I hope you gave it to her mister!! She who must be obeyed would have become quite upset if you did not.
She is just adorable and seems growing up so fast. Go Leta, go!

OH my GOD! So cute! I can’t believe she’s almost a year old.
Awww! Look at mini-you. Adorable, as usual.
What a cute child. I’d pass over anything I had in my hands to her.
where is…the monkey? heather [sniff] said that’s where sock monkey [sniff] lives…
my god, what have you people done with him??!?!!?

Hot chocolate with Bailey’s is THE BEST winter evening drink. All other seasons, Bailey’s on the rocks works well…
aren’t babies supposed to face the back til they’re 1?

Her fingers just look so looooooong in that photo.
I am jealous.
we have a whole slew of those types of pictures! Give Leta a hug, she’s so cute!
She looks like she will get it with her sheer will to HAVE IT.
She looks like she’s using all her Jedi mind power on you to get that phone, Jon.
Holy Hands Batman!
She is not your average sized bebe! Tres cute, good genes you two!
i love how one hand is up and one hand is down.
I cannot get over the adorableness of your daughter. OH. MY. GOSH.
