Vacation

Last week we returned from a wonderful vacation on an island off the coast of South Carolina. My cousin Justin and his wife Jen and their 4 month old son, Dylan, live nearby (as does my other cousin Lauren and her boyfriend, Adam). My cousin, Meghan, her husband, Skip, and their 11 month old son, Miles, drove down from PA and we flew in the same morning. We have all been married about 7-8 years and all got pregnant within a year of each other...so we thought it would be fun to get the boys together. And yes, it was fun!

Meghan, Skip, Miles, John, Logan and I shared a villa and the 'local cousins' drove in each day. It worked out great! We spent our days relaxing, going to the beach (or pool on super windy days), walking on the trails, riding bikes and cooking delicious meals! Between the 3 boys, one was either eating, crying or sleeping...too funny. :) We had excellent weather everyday - it was fantastic!

It was amazing to see the difference that a couple months makes. On this trip, Miles turned 11 months, Logan was 5 and a half months and Dylan was 3 and a half months old. Miles took a few steps by himself on the trip (very exciting!) and was otherwise, walking around tables or crawling here and there and was 'talking' up a storm! Logan was sitting by himself all proud and just observing what Miles was doing. Last time he saw Miles...the very next day he sat up all by himself! We wondered if after this trip he was going to start crawling, but no such luck. Logan did have a few more whiney periods than usual, particularly the last night - ugh, it was awful. We are pretty sure that he was having some teething pain because it was very out of character for him. Dylan was very quiet and slept a lot. When he was awake, he would flash a few cute smiles, but other than that, he left the other tricks up to Logan and particularly Miles. We are planning to make this a yearly event and can't wait to see how the boys all change throughout the years. Next year at this time they will all be walking, so we will all be much more on guard to see what they are getting in to!

I will post pictures as SO many were taken!
