Quinn and I are going to be going to Arizona in November for a week and so the little miss needs to have a passport. Fair enough, I get it...but how the hell are you supposed to have a 2 week old behave well enough for the photo requirements? Why do they need to have a photo when they're this young anyway? Ontario health cards for babies don't have to have photos on them. The requirements for baby/child photos are for the "child to have a neutral expression (no smiling or frowning) with the eyes open and mouth closed...no hands are to be seen in the photo". OK...so how is Quinn supposed to magically obtain head and neck control so that she can hold her head straight without our help?!? We took her to Wal-Mart (aka the "Forbidden Place") to get her photo taken and every time her face looked perfect, you could see the edge of one of mine or Steve's fingers near her neck to hold her up. Quinn finally had enough of trying to sit pretty and we had to give up. We did get a picture out of it, but we're not expecting the office to accept it (her colouring looks a little washed out and her tongue is sticking out). I'm going to blow a gasket at the office next week if they don't take it!
Other than this fiasco, it's been getting a little bit easier still! We were able to have lunch at Boston Pizza and Quinn slept through the whole thing. Tonight we're attempting a sponge bath for her (we can't submerse her in a bath because of her cast) after the next feeding, so we'll see how that goes. We've been trying to get this bath done for a few days now but keep running out of time! Fingers crossed she doesn't hate it too much...we really need to get the dried milk out of her hair...she's a messy eater!
