Miles and Lola

This past weekend, we took a road trip to New Jersey. This makes state #11 for Miles.. our little Miles has a lot of miles under his belt! =) We stayed at my cousin's house (technically, she is Tatay's [dad's] 1st cousin). They got to meet Miles and Tim for the first time. My oldest brother met us up there too! He is attending a training in Washington DC and so we made NJ the meeting point! =) 

The greatest part of this trip is definitely Miles meeting Lola. (Lola means grandma in Tagalog) Technically, Lola is my dad's aunt but in the Philippines, no one really uses the term great-aunt. Growing up in the Philippines, Lola helped take care of me and my siblings. She moved to the U.S. 10 years ago and moved to New Jersey where her daughter & family lives. The last time I saw Lola was when she first moved to the U.S. and she even attended my high school graduation. So much has happened in the past 10 years! It was so precious to see Miles and Lola together this weekend.. generations and generations apart - 88 years. She had a great time with Miles this weekend. Nagigil lagi =) I can't wait to see her again and for her to play with Miles again.

Miles is so good at knowing people so quickly. After introducing people to Miles in New Jersey, he knew each one so well. It was so easy to ask Miles to high five Lola specifically, and he would actually go to her and do it. He could be in the living room and you can ask him to go to a specific person and he will go to a whole different room to find that person. Miles amazes me daily! I'm so proud and grateful for him everyday.
