lizzie's first funeral and more pics at 5 months old

is she not the cutest baby ever!! everyone says she looks like me! ;)

this is goofy but i love it cuz she is talking and is so animated!!

the funeral...

i shouldn't be nervous about these kind of things, but i am... maybe by the second baby i won't be so self consious about it... but at the funeral today i was sooo paranoid! i didn't want lizzie to cry or blab. it was sooo quiet in the funeral home. thankfully there were plenty of other antsy children at the funeral, none as young as lizzie, but louder. i did have to dash out half way through to latch her on... lately she hasn't been content being pacified by nursing so that's why i dashed just in case she wanted bopped and walked around... i haven't done a very good job at making her sit on my lap and be content there during church and such. she had an upset tummy today so i hated to start forcing it today but it is on my list of things to do... i hear this is the trick to getting them to sit still during church later on in their little life (thanks for the tip Heath!)... just not wanting to deal with that first tantrum in public so i just know making her sit on my lap when she doesn't want to will cause a tantrum! i think i need to toughen up, eh!! :)
