Our first great adventure was to get Noah's passport. We were determined to have a complete application to speed up the process. Unfortunately for us, the one time that Noah did not feel like waking up for us was during his picture taking at the photo place. The only requirement for the photo was that his eyes were open.
Kurt had him almost completely undressed giving him raspberries on his belly to no avail. We decided to carry on to the Consulate with everything except for the photos. As a result, we had to hold our own photo shoot once we got home to try to capture little Noah at his best in the exact pose that we needed.
Our first attempt....not quite what we were looking for.
"C'mon guys, enough is enough.....wasn't I cute enough in the first one......?"
Noah looking a little like a convict in what was his final passport photo - meeting all of the criteria......
Noah wide awake in his typical daytime pose......
Daddy trying to get Noah to sleep.....
Noah at playtime......"I know Mommy & Daddy are just trying to tire me out.....but it's not going to work this time."
"Mommy wants to play too so that must mean I should stay awake as long as possible. "
Finally he sleeps while Skyping with great Grandpa & Grandmom Price in Texas....
Noah and me saying good bye or Aufwiedersehen to his morning midwife before leaving. Since she did not speak much English we used a lot of sign language to communicate with her. She also taught us alot of German words we didn't know such as "kaki" which translates to when Noah does #2. 
Daddy getting Noah all bundled up. He is excited that we are coming home finally. Too bad the hat doesn't fit Noah's head......it was too tight. He's a big boy.
