Passport Photos and Smiling

We’re getting ready to apply for a passport for Timothy, and we decided to have Eric try to take the pictures himself at home. Our experience with Ben, while not terrible, was fairly frustrating. They were able to do infant shots, but it wasn’t really their specialty. And getting a small infant with his eyes open, looking at the camera, not crying… well, it was challenging and the resulting photo that met the technical specifications isn’t remotely flattering. 😉 He only has it for five years though.

So, I think Eric got a shot or two that should work. But Timothy chose tonight to decide that he should smile for the camera. Which of course is not what the passport people want. He’s been smiling at us here and there for a little while, mostly responding to our smiles. Tonight it was totally unsolicited, though, which made it that much more fun.

Here are a few cute photos that won’t work for official documentation.

    These are great. We can hardly wait to have BOTH boys smiling at and with us. Timothy is a beautiful child. He just needs grandparents close enough to spoil him.
