Mommy and Me

Hugs from mom.

4 months old!

Check out Mya's 4 month picture with Champ.  I think that teddy bear is shrinking.

Four months in the Karcz household means lots of talking and babbling. Mya tells us many stories about her day and smiles and coos when we laugh.  She is also a wiggle worm now when we change her diaper; gone are the days of her letting us do it easily.  She is also REALLY close to rolling over. She can get all the way, but gets stuck with her left arm underneath her. And for the first time she woke up in the middle of the night, in the complete opposite direction that we put her down.  She literally spun a 180.
The changes are fast and frequent recently, and we're excited to see what happens in MONTH 4!!!

Go UWGB

Becca played her first match last weekend and we went to watch. It was very exciting and by the end of the match Mya was worn out.

After the game she came over to say hi to her favorite niece. :)

Playtime

Now that Mya has better head control we thought we'd try out her jumparoo. She loved to look and "play" with the toys, but didn't do much jumping.  More then anything, she loves to be vertical and looking around. This gave her the chance w/o one of us holding her. 

Her legs are still a little short, so we put some phone books under her so she could push down.  She is also starting to use her leg muscles more. 

We play a little before bed......it looks like Gary went straight to the "bed" part. :) 

Down on the farm, where watermelons grow

Sunday we hung out on the farm with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Becca while Gary was up north. There is always lots to do on the farm; Mya absolutely loves it there.

UWGB Volleyball

 This weekend we were lucky enough to watch Becca's first volleyball scrimmage as a college athlete!  We loved watching her play the last few years both in high school and on her club teams, so we are THRILLED she is close enough to home that we can watch a few of her games. Mya was excited to see her first volleyball match ever....well, besides Misty May and Kerri Walsh during the Olympics....which doesn't really count, but she was fascinated with (good sign) :)

John Deere Green

What fun it is to be outside with Dad cutting lawn! :) 
Mya's first time on a "Deere" Grandpa Mastey would be proud......

.....and a NICE picture of our dead fruit tree.  I think it's time to cut that baby down.

There's a chill

Brrr, it's starting to feel like Fall outside. Summer can't be over already, can it?

Another wedding

Congrats to Justin and Liz!  We had a wonderful time celebrating with you. Mya is now well trained in how to attend a wedding....this made her 3rd!

Dinner with family

Tonight Kath and the kids came over for dinner. We were happy to see them and spend some time playing before they head back.

Emmie also loved having her cousins here to play.  I think she put in 10 miles running around in the back yard.

Rainy Day

Home from work and a rainy day, so mom and Mya decide to play. :)

A fun weekend with family

Kath, Jim, and the boys are home from Alaska for a few weeks, so we got to spend some fun time together at the cottage.  The boys are getting SO big! I can hardly believe it's been over a year since we've last seen them.

Cousin Alex hanging out with Mya and Becca

Mya loves her first swimsuit!  SO cute, but not so practical....but that's ok. 

Snuggle time with Grandma

Bed

Getting ready for bed and reading our favorite book. 

Mya still likes to be swaddled at night AND it helps her sleep longer because she doesn't bonk herself awake with her crazy flying arms.
