It is time for Guinness to make his way into the bureaucracy and the paper trail begins... We will begn his passport application process and Canadian citizenship application stuff hopefully tomorrow. First step; passport photos. I am sure I blogged about this with Gemma too, but it so silly. The whole mouth closed, eyes open, both ears visible. He had a snack around lunch time and stayed awake and alert so I ran to the photo shop on the corner and said Quickly! He is not crying or sleeping and we managed to get a good shot in about 5 minutes. I draped a white blanket over me and then try to hold him up on my chest with my hands under the blanket, trying to keep his head sort of looking up and straight and praying he does his part by keeping his mouth closed. Then we did some more reading and citizenship photos are different than passport photos, so I printed off those regulations and went back to the photo shop to order those.
What else to do? Chris went and picked up the English birth certificate today. I got all of our ID out. Next on the list; print off neccessary paper work and fill it out. Then a trip to the Canadian trade office. Hopefully only one trip but I am not getting my hopes up.

lol...I remember that whole process with Nate!!! What a pain. I think the most annoying part is the specifications that Canada insists upon for the pictures.

And those pictures don't get any easier as they get older. We had to update the kids' passports, so they had their pics taken yesterday...Ayda did okay, because she was kinda shell-shocked as to what was going on, but she kept looking at me (and I was keeping her on the stool). Jared, however, couldn't stop smiling and giggling. And how do you get him to stop that?! Usually you want him to smile in a picture. Sigh. And then we almost got turned away at the passport office because his mouth was slightly open and you could maybe, sort of see his teeth. But they let it slide. I should think so!
