I accidentally let my Passport expire last May.
It was the worst timing because I was 5 months pregnant with Oliver when I realized. The last thing I wanted was to have a
fat-faced pregnant picture prove my citizenship for the next ten years, so I waited. I waited 8 months. My face only got
more beautiful fatter the last 4 months of pregnancy and I had to wait at least 4 months to once again see my chin and cheekbones.
Now that the bloat finally disappeared
and more importantly now that we're going to St. Thomas next Monday, I really needed to renew my passport. I blew out my hair, put on some lip gloss and dressed in a solid colored, v-neck top. Suddenly I was
yearbook picture ready. On my way there I called my mom
surprise, surprise. She asked if I was getting Oliver a passport picture too. Well hello! I completely forgot about Oliver! Luckily, he's a natural beauty and wouldn't need a blow-out or gloss to look fabulous. I was also lucky that he was in a smiley mood.
At the picture place, I went first. After
eight a few tries I had eeeeked out a passable picture. Then it was Oliver's turn. I don't know what happened, but as soon as he took one look at the photographer his smiley-ness went right out the window. He was a sketchy man and babies can definitely sense sketchy people. Anyway, we got the picture. Not his best by a long shot, but it will have to do. I figure it'll provide good entertainment when I show it to his fiance when he's older and we can all get a good laugh:

Awww, I still think he looks darling. :)
ReplyDeleteat least he's looking at the camera!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thank goodness you know what to wear for a good picture, though! You're way ahead of the game! I used to work in a photography studio, and people would wear the craziest patterns for their shoot and then hate how their pictures would turn out. Solid colors, people! Good call with the V-neck sweater.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think Oliver could take a bad photo, sketchy photo-man and all. He's too cute!
Awww, he is a little cutie!! Have a wonderful trip to St. Thomas, I've heard it's beautiful there :)
ReplyDeleteI had to renew my driver's license when I was 7 months pregnant, and had to flash that photo for the next 4 years. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable! Have a great trip!
awww, thanks guys! I think he's a cutie too!
ReplyDeleteRachel- well, at least every time you looked at your license you could remember being pregnant!
He is just the cutest little thing!
ReplyDeletei love it! now he can officially be a world traveler :) which reminds me... i really NEED to get mine renewed too *yikes*
ReplyDeleteat least you could wait until the end of pregnancy. i needed a new passport right after jaw surgery. now i'm stuck with the gap-toothed, crooked-jaw, serial-killer picture for the next decade.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little doll - I just want to eat him up!!!

No passports needed for Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI love it and he's so cute but I can tell he's thinking the guy taking the photo is sketchy. lol!
ReplyDeleteSo for Oliver, would the rule be when you look like your passport picture, you need a nap?
ReplyDeleteReally, he is a cutie patootie!
He looks adorable!! My last passport picture was taken when I was nine months pregnant and it SUCKS. I cringe every time I look at it!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I have never even had a passport and your little guy already does!
