Ponizej filmik jak to mala powtarza po tacie, a na koncu juz ma dosc wiec uslyszycie "nie, nie." Jak widac, Maryska siedzi juz bardzo dobrze sama i bardzo lubi siedziec. Poza tym pare zdjec z ostatnich dni.
Here is a short movie with Marielle repeating after daddy, and at the end she is done and you can hear "nie, nie" (which is "no, no" in Polish). As you can see, she is sitting well on her own now, and she likes it a lot. And a few pictures from recent days.
Tak bym wygladala w dlugich, cetkowanych wlosach:) / This is how I would look like with long, animal print hair
Kapiel/Bath
A na to wchodze ja..cala w bieli/ And then I come in...dressed all in white
Wczoraj bylo Swieto Dziekczynienia i obchodzilismy je w Atenach po raz pierwszy odkad tu mieszkamy. Przyjechala do nas mama Holzika i obchodzilismy to swieto razem. Po raz pierwszy gotowalam niektore tradycyjne potrawy, chociaz w tym roku nie odwazylam sie jeszcze piec indyka, takze przyjechal gotowy z Atlanty. Jedzenie wyszlo pyszne, dzidzia byla niesamowicie grzeczna i bardzo zainteresowana nowym gosciem, wiec pelen sukces
. Zamierzalysmy z tesciowa wybrac sie o polnocy na zakupy w czasie najwiekszych wyprzedarzy w roku. Jednak nie zdecydowalysmy sie po tym jak Holzik przejechal sie wieczorem zeby zobaczyc czy sa kolejki, no i okazalo sie ze wyglada na to, ze wszyscy mieszkancy Aten wybrali sie na zakupy. Wiec zamiast tego odpalilysmy komputer i w zaciszu naszej kanapy zakupilismy ciuszki dla Maryski przez Internet. Natomist dzisiaj rano wybralysmy sie do sklepu i zrobilismy reszte zakupow. Tym razem nie bylo prawie ludzi (pewnie odsypiali), wiec poszlo nam bardzo sprawnie.
Ponizej zdjecia z wczoraj i dzisiaj, oraz troche zdjec z ostatnich tygodni i filmikow. Maryska przygotowuje sie do raczkowania, siedzi juz coraz lepiej i gada coraz wiecej. No i ma drugiego zeba:)
It was Thanksgiving yesterday, and we have celebrated it for the first time ever in Athens. Halsey's mom came over and we spend this holiday together. Also for the first time, I have cooked some of the traditional dishes, but I was not brave enough yet to tackle baking the turkey, so it arrived cooked from Atlanta. The food came out very good, Marielle was an angel, and she enjoyed the new guest in the house, so full success. We intended to go the Black Friday Shopping with Margaret, but after Halsey took a drive to see how things are looking, and it turned out the everybody in Athens went shopping, we turned on the computer and did all of our shopping online in the comfort of our own couch. This way Marielle is set for Xmas:) Today in the morning, we went for more shopping and it was great, as almost nobody was there (I guess everybody was still sleeping it off), so we were very effective:)
Below, some pictures from yesterday and today, as well from the last few weeks. Marielle is getting ready for crawling and she is sitting up better and better. And she has two teeth now:)

Some other pictures from yesterday
Dzisiaj bylismy na przegladzie szesciomiesiecznym. Takze, mala wazy 9400 i mierzy 72 cm. Nadal jest w 95 percentyltu, takze rosnie w tym samym tempie. Mala rozwija sie zgodnie z planem, a pare dni temu wyszedl jej pierwszy zabek!
Today we went for the 6-month check up and she is 20lbs 6 oz and she is 28 1/2 inches long. Still in 95 percentile, so the same pace of growth. She is developing right on schedule, and a few days ago she got her first tooth!
Ostatnio bardzo zajeta bylam robota, wiec dzisiaj bardziej podsumowanie ostatnich tygodni. Mala obraca sie we wszystkie strony jak i rowniez wokol wlasnej osi. Siedzi bez problemu na wysokim krzeselku, kanapie, albo kolanach, a uczy sie sama siedziec (na razie popiera sie raczkami). Dzisiaj zaczela gaworzyc po raz pierwszy, wiec dodala nowe dzwieki do repertuaru. Poza tym je sobie warzywka i owoce, ktore jej robie sposobem domowym, czyli ugotowane, zmielone i mrozone w tackach na lod i potem do woreczkow, to sie latwo i szybko odgrzewa:) A dzisiaj na Halloween przebralismy ja za malpeczke, a tata byl za kogos kto straszy. We wtorek idziemy do lekarza, wiec wtedy beda dane bierzace.
I was real busy lately at work, so here is a summary of the last few weeks. Marielle is turning over everywhere and in circles too. She is sitting good in her high chair, on the couch, or on your lap, but she is learning how to sit on her own (she is using her hands for support). Today she started to babble, so there are new sounds added to her repertoire. Besides that, she is eating veggies and fruit, which I make her at home by steaming, blending, freezing in icecube trays and putting them in ziplocks. This way they are easy to store and reheat. Today, for Halloween we dressed her up as a monkey, and Halsey was dressed up as someone scary. We are going to the doctor's on Tuesday, so current measurements will follow.
Mala skonczyla juz 5 miesiecy! Jak zwykle, nie wiadomo jak to przelecialo..je coraz wiecej papek, eksperymentujemy z warzywkami i owocami na razie. Juz pare razy przewrocila sie z plecow na brzuch, ale jeszcze nie udalo sie zlapac na filmie. Ponizej, pare najnowszych zdjec , niektore troche niewyrazne, bo mala caly czas sie rusza:)
So, she is 5 moths old now. As usual, nobody knows when and how it happened...she is eating more and more baby food, and we are now experimenting with veggies and fruit. She rolled over from her back to belly a few times now, but we haven't caught it on camera yet. Also recent pictures , some of them are not sharp because she is moving all the time:)
