Yesterday, we applied for a passport for Gabriel. After all, in little more than a month he'll be traveling abroad for the first time. We looked at the requirements for passport photos, and we realized that we might have a hard time making pictures with the required characteristics.
None of these would be accepted, for example.
Thus, we drove to Sion and and went to a professional photo studio. We left right after Gabriel had eaten in the morning, because he usually is highly awake for quite a while after that. He was intently looking at everything while we were driving - and he fell asleep right before we parked the car. Ah, happy parents. We spent about ten minutes at the photo studio trying to wake him up so that he would open both eyes at the same time long enough so that a picture could be taken. Finally, we succeeded.
Naturally, he was wide awake by the time we left the store.
We aren't complaining, though. Aside from providing blog-material from time to time, Gabriel is really a very nice kid. And when he's slightly cranky, I am still fairly successful at singing him to sleep. Even when he isn't crying, I like to hold him - he is great entertainment, and he is a cute little oven.
Of course, when he's really hungry, there's not much daddy can do. Except to make sure Michelle is comfortable, especially when she goes through ten feedings of 30-45 minutes as has happened on Wednesday.
