Some readers know that we’re avid travelers. On top of that J’s aunt is about to move across the pond to the uk.
So, just so that we won’t have any surprises, we’re appyling for J’s passport.
I think it a good thing that infants have passports. It’s another form of identification. US passports require both parents of minors to present themselves to apply for a child’s passport. This is to keep one parent secreting away a child in the middle of a disagreement. I assume it’s also more difficult to forge being both parents than one parent, too.
The funny part is getting J captured in an approved fashion for her passport. With some luck and her being somewhat lethargic with her ear infection, we did it!
Now we’ll head to the post office and see how it goes!

Well, even though S swears otherwise, I don’t entirely believe it. She was able to keep baby J free from illness for three months. I have her three weeks and she gets an ear infection.
Thank goodness we both caught this in time and that she is a little trooper. All you have to do is look at her to tell she doesn’t feel good. That said, she’s already sleeping more and eating more than she did even two days ago.
I know folks disagree but I’m so glad to have an old school pediatrician that went ahead and prescribed bubble gum flavored antibiotics for her (which she loathes). She’ll feel better faster and head off getting sicker.
That said, she sure does need to be held a lot. Good thing she’s cute!
