Spring and early Summer 2007

It's been awhile! Here are a few highlight pictures from the last few months.

The late January 2007 photos - he's a cookie cowboy.

Jacques loves to be covered up as much as possible when he sleeps in the seemingly most uncomfortable positions - yes, he is really in there!

First Birthday! February 15th. Auntie Jessie made a Thomas the train cake, it was lovely!

April 15, 2007 - HE WALKS.

May 2007 - We had some family pictures taken. Aren't we cute?

He even had pneumonia during this photo shoot and he STILL looks adorable! Feeling much better now.

Winter 2007

Our first visit to the world of cottage cheese - he likes it.
November 2006

Thanksgiving 2006 - Consisted mostly of the Sweet Potato.

Although this might be orange jello...

Due to almost all of us being disgustingly sick very few pictures were taking of Jacques' first Christmas. This one is my favorite.

Auntie Jean and Uncle Mike gave Jacques this turtle - he LOVES it.

He also loves cups.

January 2007 - the boys arrive to go to a basketball game.

We are at a Mexican restaurant for my birthday in these - I missed the really messy ones.

Hard to believe he will already be a year old on Feb. 15th!

Arizona!

I took Jacques on his first plane trip. He did very well on the plane, it definitely helps that he is so cute! Arizona was lovely and warm, it was nice to introduce Jacques to my old friends.

Our new friends, Justice and Noble Harasha.

My flash is pretty bright for my sensitive blue-eyed son!

My old friends Paul (Justice and Noble's father) and Scott.

The first Golf Cart Ride! An actual moving vehicle where Jacques wasn't in a car seat - he definitely loved it, but I think he'd rather drive.

We took a drive to Fountain Hills so Jacques could see the fountain.

The park at the Fountain in Fountain Hills. This is a giant brass tortise named George (of course).

HA!
Gramps is holding Jacques at the "Splash Park" - it was really cool.

Waiting.

It's up!

Here we are "Like This".

We drove by the old house in Fountain Hills - it's had a bit of a re-do! Very beige.

Jean's Ocotillo

THE Saguaro where many a McCollom family picture was taken. Notice the GIANT house getting fixed up next door. Much has changed out there!

And now for the Gramps and Jacques shots, mostly taken on the sun porch...

Action Shot! Caught the drool in motion!

He's heavy!

6 months!

Lots of blue! Jacques lounges with Jeff and Ben outside.
Now that is a look! Foreshadowing of the teenage years.

Kinda fuzzy - but darn cute!

Jacques is 6 months old!

Those eyes sure are blue!
