We spent all of last week in Hilton Head with the Cox Family and had a great time. There were 13 of us and we stayed in nice big house right on the water in Sea Pines and just vegged out. We went to the beach, golfed (well, the golfers did), played tennis, took a boat ride, went bike riding....but Nate and I spent most of our time in the pool that was in the back yard. It really was nice and relaxing to have a week to do nothing unless you wanted to. Nate had a ball playing with his second cousins, Piper and Sydney. We had such a nice week it was hard to come back home! Some pics from the week:
Nate getting used to wearing his sunglasses - he would only keep them on if they were over his hat.

I was hoping Nate would start walking while we were there since he had gotten so close before we left. But, no such luck. HOWEVER, today was finally the day he decided to start moving. He is transitioning in to Room 2 at school this week so I think he is realizing he has to keep up - no more babies around. So, I picked him up from school and decided to practice today...and, lo and behold, he decided he would just start walking! Woo hoo! I was able to get a few laps on video so I will figure out how to post that soon. Walking still isn't his primary mode of tranportation (of course he decided he was too tired to show off once Michael got home) but now he (and I) knows he can do it so it is only a matter of time before he is toddling around the house!
Nate has picked up a couple of other new "tricks"...he likes to show you where your eyes are by pointing to them and saying "eyes eyes", he blows kisses, and he puts the phone up to his ear like he is talking to someone. Somehow, the other day he managed to push the right combination of buttons on the home phone to dial my sister...must be a pretty smart kid!
