Passport outtakes and my beautiful boy

Tomorrow morning we're taking Leif to the American embassy to make him American; we'll get a social security number, a consular report of birth abroad (or whatever it's called) and a passport. So we're trying to take passport photos of Leif. Yesterday's attempt didn't go so well...

August helping to hold his head straight:

11 months - Outtakes

We had a fantastically uneventful day. He slept better than we thought he would given the difficult day he'd had. Augie and I hung out at home, and I followed him around making sure he didn't put anything in his mouth. He didn't seem at all bothered by yesterday's injury, thank goodness. James came up with some inventive ways to feed him without a spoon and I let him condition his hair with peanut butter oil (no, that was not on purpose).

Now, lest you think we have a baby who only takes fantastic pictures, I give you some outtakes.
