Baptism

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

>

Lily’s Baptism was on the 17th of August. She did well during the Baptism. She acted surprised when the water hit her, but she didn’t make a sound. We are happy God has welcomed her into His kindgom. We are proud parents.
Here are the sponsors and us. Weslie Odom and Tim and Linsay Hale spoke for Lily.
Here is the whole crowd. We were blessed to have so many relatives here. Maybe they just wanted to have a vacation excursion to scenic Nebraska and Lily was just an excuse. It’s hard to tell. From L to R, back to front: Scott, Weslie, Cecelia, Neil, Tim; Wesleigh, Ruth, me, Aubri, Lily, Verna, Lindsay, Meredith, and Nikki. Thanks for coming everyone, we enjoyed have a crowd for the special occasion.
A kind lady from the congrgation made a fancy cake for us.
Eli, Lily’s cousin, showed some interest in her. But he is forceful and a bit rough (kind of like her father). So my dad is warding off the little guy who doesn’t know that babies don’t roughhouse.
One of the few moments Lily wasn’t held. She is preparing herself for the next relative to scoop her up.

A happy Lily.

A sad Lily—at the mercy of everyone around her.

Lily likes to hold on to her daddy.



Lily after her first church service. She will be baptized next Sunday, the 17th. I hope she likes her pastor.

Wednesday Cecelia arrived. I have not seen my daughter since it seems. Grandma likes her, even when she is fussy. We have to fight to see her now.
At times Lily does smile.
She is mostly happy. Lily is pretty good too. Seriously though, it has been helpful to have some help with the little girl.

>Lily is finally eating enough, so she is much better. After crying much of the night the last few days, we found out she was just hungry. A satiated Lily is a happy and sleepy Lily. And kinda cute too as you will soon see.


After eating she is content.


Aubri had to play dress up with Lily. This was her dress originally.

Aubri is glad Lily has hair and she is a girl. Her first barrette and pigtail. I had no part of this.


Lily’s second bath. She didn’t cry, but had a concern about what her parents were doing to her.


Lily’s shows off her long legs. By the way she pooped and peed on me right after this. I had no idea a baby could hold that much liquid. Perhaps she was paying me back for this embarrassing picture.
