Lots Going On!

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all you Mommy's out there! I got to spend the day exactly how I wanted to...I got to sleep all day! To any of you who knew me before I had Lily you know that I really, really, really miss those days! Jason got up with Lily and got her ready for church. The two of them went to church and then came home and continued to let Mommy sleep. I had to work that night so it wasn't like I was just plain being a bum...but even if I didn't have to work...I would have still wanted to SLEEP! My mom and Maddie came over and brought me a plant for our front porch...very pretty. I was sad to have to go to work, but at 9:00pm Lily and Jason showed up at work! They brought me my mother's day cards and my gift. They got me Aqua Globes...so I don't kill the plant my mom bought me! They left at 10:00pm and then shortly after I got throwing up sick at work, so I ended up having to come home, but all in all it was a great Mother's Day!

Tuesday, Lily and Jason and I got to meet a new addition to the Kneifl family. We drove to Des Moines just for the day to meet Miles Nicholas Kneifl. He is the son of Jason's brother Matt and his wife Sabina. Miles decided to join this world 3 1/2 weeks early, but he is doing well...and so darn cute! I'm not sure Lily even realized there was a tiny baby there...she was more into the cat roaming around. She wouldn't take her eyes off of the cat.

Lily turned 8 months old on Tuesday. She is so close to crawling...she just needs to figure out to move her arms. Jason and I look awfully silly on the floor trying to teach her this. She is more verbal these days, which also means she is louder than ever! She has nothing quiet about her. She says ba-ba, and ma-ma mostly. Her new trick...which is also my favorite...is that she can hold her own bottle! This is so nice because I can now put her at my feet in the mornings, give her a bottle, and then I can get ready without 20 different interruptions attending to a baby throwing a fit! Lily almost has 2 teeth...the second one hasn't popped all the way through yet, but it is close. Lastly, Lily is starting to mimick us. It is cute, but we also have to be more and more careful of what we say and do!
