Mya Gonzalez

Mya and Kristin are in PA for a week and a half. Today Mya got to meet a family friend, Taylor, who was teaching Mya to crawl.

Mya went to a Greek Fest and street fair with her parents and grandparents (Glatfelter) today. She enjoyed some ice cream and children dancing while celebrating Grandma Glatfelter’s birthday.

Mya and her parents headed out to the country for the remote-controlled aircraft show. Mya watched as participants flew different helicopters and airplanes around. One of the airplanes even had a 4-cylinder engine and the aircraft itself was about a foot longer than Mya herself.

New veggie of the day: zucchini.

She also attempted her first finger food today: zwieback toast.

Mya, Kristin and Grandma and Grandpa Glatfelter toured a few gardens today. At an arboretum, Mya fed the fish, one of which was so large that Mya could have stuck both of her fists into his mouth. She was found in the children’s garden playing with the tea set.

Mya also had her try at the water fountain today. There was not a huge puddle afterwards (just a little one.)

Mya will now stand in the sand (with help) and let the waves roll over her. She did so well at the beach today that she even got soaked from a wave (mom did not see it coming) and it did not bother her. She caught her breath and continued to play in the waves.

Mya took her first boat ride today with her mom and Grandma and Grandpa Glatfelter. It was a scenic riverboat through Wilmington, NC. Although Mya slept through a lot of the ride, she did not seem to get sea sick.

Mya, Kristin and Grandma and Grandpa Glatfelter headed out to the beach today. They are spending the week at Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. Mya has finally warmed up to the waves at the beach and seemed to enjoy getting her feet wet. She was buried in sand up to her waist, although was not too fond of the idea and did not sit long enough for a picture.

After a long night of driving to PA Friday, Mya and her parents headed out to Mya’s first county fair in the morning. The weather was fairly warm, but Mya got to see the rides she could ride on when she gets a little bigger. She also got to see a really tall lady on stilts.

Later, the family headed over to a friend’s wedding for the night. Mya got to hang out with her friend, Kaden, both of whom stayed up late to enjoy the wedding. The two were found on the dance floor together.

Mya had her first fruit today: pears. Yum.

Mya’s 6-month birthday. Hard to believe that she is already 1/2 a year old. She is currently experiencing the first cold in her lifetime, which has really messed up her sleep schedule.

Doing her push-ups.

This weekend Mya relaxed around the house with her parents and played with the new kittens. Mya laughs at them when they play and grabs at them when they come near. She is in the process of learning how to nicely pet the kittens.

New veggie of the week: carrots. This meant the new world of everything from Mya’s face to her butt staining orange.
