And he took eating breakfast poolside to a whole new level. We would give him some of the pain au chocolate and he would proceed to march into the water, plop down and dig in...
After breakfast, we headed to the pool - the heated pool. Thankfully they kept it at about 84 degrees, so it was warm enough for me.
Nick loved playing in the water. He had absolutely no fear and thought that he could swim.
The sunsets in Turks were beautiful. Nick enjoyed playing with us and in the sand while we all watched.
Now if only we could get everyone to look at the camera and smile at the same time!
As soon as we got to the resort in Turks and Caicos, we hit the beach! This was Nick's second time at the beach, and he loved every minute of it.
The resort had a great water park that had all different size slides and spray things for the little ones to enjoy.
That night we went to the Sesame Street show. A bunch of the characters were there, singing and dancing to the classic Sesame Street songs. Nick had a blast. He LOVED and I repeat LOVED dancing to the music and seeing all of the characters.
His newest favorite thing is to walk up and down stairs. He still needs a helping hand from mom or dad, but he can walk up steps forever. 
Later that afternoon, we decided to head out to the park. As always Nick loved the swings.
Since he's learned how to walk on his own, he does not want to hold our hands. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe that there were a bunch of people at the park, but he was all about holding our hands.
We finally managed to wrangle him enough to put a diaper on him. Thankfully we had no accidents.
Nick has discovered that he loves to climb up steps. This includes his little step stool. He's such a show off. And look at the budha belly! It's getting so big!
Of course no play time is complete without carrying around his stool. He is a big boy after all.
As you can see by the amounts of yogurt on him and the highchair tray, he also discovered that he could bang/smear the spoon everywhere.
These pictures do not do justice to the extreme MESS that resulted. The entire tray was COVERED. Nick was covered. He had yogurt all over his face, up to his elbows and of course caked onto his bib and shirt. Yummy!
Nick and Eric happened to be wearing matching outfits. They are so cute together!!
Kids develop an affection for money early on. This is demonstrated by Nick trying to count some money.
He was really fascinated by the money. He carried it around. He sorted it. He held it. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come...
