I'm Crawling!!! Raczkuje!!!

Prawie/ Almost

Maryska jest w stadium "prawie", czyli zaczela prawie raczkowac, bo raczkuje do tylu. Zaczela prawie mowic "mama" bo mowi "nana." Mozna to zobaczyc na filmku ponizej. Poza tym zlapalismy na filmie, jak przybija piatke, wiec to na drugim filmiku. Poza tym pare zdjec z ostatnich czasow. Mala zaczela pic z kubeczka z dziubkiem, wiec butelki juz niedlugo znikna.

Marielle is in the "almost" stage. She is almost crawling, as she is doing it backwards. She is almost saying "mama", because she is saying "nana". You can see both on the first movie. Moreover, we have it on video how she gives high five. And a few pictures from the last few days. She started to drink form sippy cups, so the bottles will be history soon.

 Here, she is holding a card for auntie Gosia for her birthday. BTW, the smile is almost identical to uncle Cameron's when he was little:)
Tutaj mala trzyma kartke na urodziny cioci Gosi, a jej usmiech na tym zdjeciu jest prawie identyczny z usmiechem wujka Camerona jak byl taki maly.

12 i pol minuty z zycia Maryski/ 12 and a half minutes of Marielle's life

Ponizej filmik bardzo dlugi z roznymi momentami z zycia Marysi z ostatnich paru tygodni. Tylko dla wytrwalych:)

Below, I put a long movie with various moments from Marielle's life in the last few weeks. Only for those who have the stamina to watch the whole 12 and half minutes:) Enjoy!

Guard Dog/ Pies obronny

Maryska wydaje ostatnio dzwieki, ktore nie do konca brzmia jak ludzkie:) Na przyklad, kiedy Holzik wrocil do domu, zaczela na niego warczec niczym pies obronny.
Poza tym Marysia prawie, prawie raczkuje, juz pare razy jak sie dobrze kiwnela to nogi sie przesunely, podnosi kolana i raczki do gory. Zaczela wyciagac raczki jak sie ja podnosi. Nauczylismy ja rowniez przybijac piatke, ale jeszcze nie mamy na filmie:)

Lately, Marielle is making sounds that don't completely sound like human sounds. For example, when Halsey came back home, she started to growl at him, just like a good guard dog.
She is almost, almost crawling, a few times now, she rocked forward and the legs moved:) She is also lifting her hands and knees, so we are almost there. She started to reach out her arms when you are about to pick her up. We taught her how to give a high five, but we don't have it on a video yet:)

Christmas/ Boze Narodzenie

U nas juz po Swietach, wiec jest troche czasu zeby cos na blogu napisac. W tym roku, jak co roku od kilku lat, spedzalismy Swieta u Goski i obchodzilismy Wigilie razem z rodzina i przyjaciolmi. Byly to pierwsze Swieta Maryski, chyba jej sie podobalo, bo nawet wytrwala do rozpakowywania prezentow i bawila sie zabawkami od Gwiazdora. Przez caly pobyt bawila sie z Kuba i Pola, niesamowicie ja intryguja. Bawila sie rowniez ze swoja kuzynka Amelia, gdyz brat Holzika z rodzina odwiedzil nas dzien przed Wigilia. Bawilismy sie wszyscy super i chociaz teraz juz po Swietach, jest jeszcze Sylwester zanim na dobre wroce do pracy:) Duzo zdjec ponizej.

Now that Christmas is over, I have some time to post to the blog. This year, as it has been every year for the past few years, we spend Christmas as Gosia's, and we spend Christmas Eve with family and friends. It was Marielle's first Christmas, and I think she liked it, since she was still up for opening presents and enjoyed playing with some of the toys from Santa. Throughout our stay, she played with Pola and Kuba, you can tell that she is fascinated by them. She also played with her cousin Amelia, since Halsey's brother with the family visited us right before Christmas. So, we had a great time, and although Christmas is over, we still have New Year's Eve to party before I have to go back to work:)

Zabki, rurki, gadanie, ciuszki/ Teeth, straws, talking, clothes

Ten wpis taki pomieszany i poplatany. Troche zdjec w najnowszych wdziankach od babci Margaret. Poza tym bylismy dzisiaj na spacerze i pstryknelismy pare fajnych fotek malej, na jednej widac zabki, ktore sie w koncu na tyle wyrznely ze mozna im zdjecia robic:) Mala coraz bardziej przygotowuje sie do raczkowania, zaczyna sie kiwac na kolnach..juz niedlugo:) No i na koncu filmki jak mala zaczna kumac jak ze slomki pic, no i ma jeszcze pare rzeczy do powiedzenia:)


This post is a bit all over the place. Some pictures are showing the latest outfits from MaMar (did I get that right?). Also, we went for a walk today and took some really cute pictures. You can finally see the teeth, as they grew out enough to be visible. She is getting closer and closer to crawling, she is now rocking back and forth on all fours..it won't be long. And at the end, a short video showing her starting to figure out how to drink out of a straw. She has some things to say as well:)

Dada

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.
