Passport Photo

We went to the county auditor's office a few days ago to apply for Caleb's passport.  We're planning a trip to Canada this summer (think Calgary Stampede and Banff National Park!) and nowadays it's required to have a passport to travel across our northern border.  After three takes, this is the gem of a photo that will declare Caleb's identity to the world for the next five years:

Yep, when we move to Africa, this is what the customs agent will be looking at, trying to discern if the person in the photo is the person standing before him/her.  If Caleb goes through customs as smug as he looks in this photo, maybe he'll be recognizable.  At any rate, the best part of this whole thing is that those beautiful cheeks will now be memorialized for the next five years!

And guess what else?  Caleb is 11 months old today!  We can hardly believe we'll soon have a one-year-old on our hands.  We can also hardly believe how difficult it is to get this little man to sit still for more than two seconds in order to get a photo.  Hence the montage below :)  We finally got this shot and decided it's good enough for the baby book.

Our hearts continue to melt everyday :)
