Nowadays, Mya is laughing, sticking out her tongue and grabbing at toys she wants to play with.

Mya spent another long weekend traveling to North Carolina. The city of choice- Raleigh. Scott and Kristin found an apartment in Raleigh, where they are set to move as of July 19th.

Mya had an exceptionally long weekend traveling in the car seat. For those who may not know, Scott was offered a job in Durham, NC. The family spent the weekend in North Carolina looking at houses. Mya’s current house went onto the market June 19th and by the afternoon of June 20th, it had been sold. The family is set to move by August 6th.

Today Mya and Kristin headed down to Inner Harbor in Maryland to meet up with Laur. They spent the day visiting the National Aquarium in Baltimore and Body Worlds at the Science Center. Later, they headed to the top of the World Trade Center Institute to check out the view of Baltimore. Mya had so many things to do and check out that she barely slept the entire day. Kristin and Mya said their goodbyes to Laur so they could head to the airport to pick up Scott. By this point, Mya was so exhausted that she did not even stay awake to greet her daddy.

Mya headed with Grandma and Grandpa Glatfelter to Delaware to celebrate Kristin’s cousins’ graduations. The day was very hot but Mya got to meet some more family she had not yet been introduced to.

Mya’s getting so big!

Height: 23-1/2 inches

Weight: 11 lbs. 9 oz.

Nowadays, Mya can stand with some assistance.

Saturday Mya went to see her first drive-in movie. The two movies being played were Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Iron Man. Although Mya got a little fussy towards the end (because it was way past her bedtime), she did well most of the time. Today was also her first time being away from both mom and dad for more than a few hours.

Sunday she went on her first picnic with mom and dad. They went to Fort Hunter and sat by the river. The three agreed that they enjoyed the picnic and should attempt one each month.

Mya had her first day at Gymboree today. Mya had no problems at class (seemed to enjoy the class), which included 4 other babies and their moms. She especially enjoyed tummy time, which allowed the babies to use a mirror below and beside them. She learned about object permanence using a scarf, which was also used to help her learn how different objects in her world work.

This weekend Grandma & Grandpa Gonzalez and Uncle Adam came down to visit. Saturday was also her first night away from her mom, which she had no problems with.

Also, when her hands are not being put in her mouth, she now holds the two together in front of her.

Today was Mya’s introduction to the bottle. Initially she fussed quite a bit, but after a few tries at the bottle, she seems to tolerate it as long as she is laying down.
