We decided to go and explore Dallas, TX. We didn't have much trouble with the bebe while on the road so we really had a good start for this trip. We had loads of fun and of course we ate tons of delicious food! I can easily say that this is one of the best trips we've ever had. Aidan had a few meltdowns but it wasn't something that some cold refreshing drinks can't fix. I think the waterpark is the best part of the trip for him since he never complained or cried while we were out there. It was really good to be back in the city and also it was good to explore a new area. I guess this is our major trip for the year (since 2011 we've always had one major trip each year; 2011-Philippines, 2012-Texas, 2013-Hong Kong) but we'll see, we still have 5 more months before the year ends.
In other news, the bebe's hair is finally growing lol! We've never cut his hair and we're planning to grow it until he's 3 (or if you ask Jesse he'll say until the bebe turns 5) so we'll see how long it'll grow by that time. He LOVES the water, as a matter of fact he'll jump in any puddle of water he sees! He loves cars, trains and anything with wheels. If he sees a nice car parked outside our apartment he'll make sure to have a CLOSER look at it. He also loves dandelions! and of course Mickey Mouse. His words are still not understandable most of the time but I think he's able to understand a little of bit of French and Tagalog since he can follow most of our commands in those languages. When he's getting annoyed at something or at me lol he'll say "ano ba!" with a really maldito face , hahaha. Lately, he's been saying "T'aime Mama" ( we use that as a shortcut for Je T'aime) before bedtime. It's really fun and exciting to see him undergo all these changes and developments.
Jesse on the other hand is currently on summer break but he's doing full-time work on campus. This sucks for Aidan and I since were at home or just around our neighborhood the whole day. I can't wait to have all the confidence I need with my driving skills so the bebe and I can go and do some great adventures together.
We're going to hit our 1 year mark in this town next month. It is both great and challenging experience for all of us. We have received blessings more than we have imagine,. An example of this is Jesse receiving scholarships for the next semester. This is a huge help for us since tuition fees in here are really sky high; we are really grateful for it. There are also a lot of challenges along the way too but we have learned to deal with it and not run from it. We still have a long way but we are excited for the coming years and we know that as long as we have each other and we work together everything's gonna be great!
