Little Yellow Beach House


This September we made our way to our family vacation at the "Little Yellow Beach House" on Harbor Island (close to Hilton Head, SC). It's small, quaint which was perfect for slowing us down a bit. We spent our days visiting the beach, the pool and playground, puttering around in a golf cart, and looking for seafood and coffee in Beaufort, SC. The waterfront there is quite nice, with a maritime playground and a yummy bagel shop that made an excellent cup of wet cappuccino just the way I wanted it, yum. Everyone had a good time: Brian's sister and brother-in-law joined us for a few relaxing days; Poem did well not to eat too much sand; Brian enjoyed kicking his soccer ball into the sea; Noble enjoyed the golf cart and kiddie pool and Wing-See enjoyed the break and being all together.

Early September Poem started crawling - a Phelpsian butterfly stroke which quickly morphed into a full torso-up crawl . She also started pulling up and standing which remains one of her favorite things to do. (She's like a bee to honey when she sees something she can pull up on.) Her newfound mobility is loads of fun for her and us. She can choose where she wants to go and what she wants to do, which usually is getting in the mix with whatever Noble and Mommy are doing.
