It's Official!

Today Jake became an official (or at least officially recognized by the law) person! In Mexico, the hospital where a baby is born issues a document of birth, but it isn't an official record - only a hospital record. With that document, we have to collect about a billion other documents and then take him to register here at the gov't offices. Well today, the civil court judge came to the house to get signatures and fingerprints and issue the official and legal birth certificate! He didn't like the idea of being fingerprinted and cried his way through! Apparently, however, he got over it quite quickly and is now sleeping like a baby. Oh wait . . . he is a baby. Wish I could sleep like a baby.




Next up: American and Mexican passports! And then, whew, I think we're done.
