DON'T smile!


We took Abby to get passport pictures taken today - which we were dreading, truthfully, remembering the ordeal that Gavin's passport pictures had been a year or two ago - and he was quite a bit older. (Try getting a child you've carefully brainwashed to SMILE as soon as they see a camera to NOT smile for this particular picture!)

But...somehow our Abby girl who never stops goofing around understood exactly what she was supposed to do. The photographer took one shot right away, which was actually pretty good except she had her mouth open a little bit, so we helpfully told her to close her mouth and not smile, and here was shot #2! Amazing!

But no, we're still not looking forward to doing it with the new baby. The photographer admitted that it usually takes upwards of 20 tries to get a proper shot for a newborn.

And truly, how many security risks are they keeping out of the US by forcing newborn babies to carry passports?!?

Awwwww - what a beautiful baby. Such a nice picture but maybe there's still a smile there - I think it is hiding in her eyes.

Yes, pretty ridiculous getting passports for newborns...

But Abby looks cute!

We should hang out!

Be thankful Abby looks like the princess she is...I got my Passport in the mail today and the picture looks even more mannish than I remember!
