Hilton Head Island

We spent last week playing in the sun and the sand on Hilton Head Island. Gus attended a work conference, and we tagged along. Luckily, we have a Nanna and Pa who are happy to travel with us. I was a bit nervous about managing both a 2 year old and 7 week old at the beach. It turns out that I have 2 beach babies on my hands: one who loves to sleep by the ocean and one who loves to play in the ocean. Henry loved running into the surf, jumping in the waves, splashing in the puddles, and digging in the sand. His favorite beach companion was Pa, and he let the entire beach know it by shouting "Pa! Water!" every 2 minutes.

We also celebrated Mother's Day at the beach, and John (once again) delivered the most perfect gift: 10 straight hours of sleep! My boy really knows when to turn on the charm. Spending Mother's Day with my own Mama made the trip even more wonderful.
