I didn’t really plan to do another weekly shot, but then she fell asleep on my chest after nursing and I couldn’t resist trying to take the sleeping photo. You know the kind you see everywhere of a newborn, curled up on the tummy, sleeping so soundly. The kind of pose that felt mission impossible. Well, turns out Alva can be put down, as opposed to her big sister, and she actually stayed sleeping like that for quite a while after the photos were taken. Well, until Ellinor came home and woke her up with her hullabaloo.
The main event of the second week was applying for a US passport. Cut a long story short, we wasted a whole day at the central Brooklyn public library due to some silly policy, but managed to get it done the second morning at the Red Hook post office, with a very sweet and efficient lady who claimed Alva was her youngest client ever. Fingers crossed our little American will get her passport before we travel end of the month…
