Savannah's 1st visit to the Zoo ...

We were invited for a playdate at the Zoo. Savannah and I had so much fun! I haven't been to the Zoo in years and it was Savvy's 1st visit. We saw all sorts of animals as you can imagine. The weather was absolutely beautiful @ 70. We rode the train and had a picnic lunch. We'll definetely be regular visitors. Our next trip will be to the Botanic Gardens and Aquarium. Here are some of the pics we took today....

Since I was updating our main image tonight, I thought I'd add a cute smoochies pic of the 3 of us. Awwwww...

Happy Birthday Brian! The BIG 40!

We had a great party for my sweetie last night. There were @ 30 people. Family, Close Friends and Co-Workers that joined us. What Fun! Some had to leave early and some came late. Brian, Savannah and I floated like butterflies amongst the tables. It was so much fun. I didn't take nearly enough pictures though . (I lost the camera twice - Oops!) We had the bash at Garduno's a favorite Mexican Restaurant of ours. There was lots of great food, margaritas, cake and laughter. All in All it was a fantastic party. Thank you everyone for coming. We felt so loved and blessed to be surrounded by you.

Our little family.

snapped this pic but, Thank You! Perfect!

What a wonderful group of people ...

We had such a wonderful group of people come out to celebrate my sweetheart's BIG 40. Close friends and co workers. We had such a great mix. I didn't take nearly as many pics of everyone that I wanted to. Next Time! We are so very blessed to surround ourselves with great individuals. Thanks everyone for making my honey feel so special on his big day!

So Funny!

Savvy in her party dress

How cute is she! I had to get a couple of snapshots of her in this adorable dress. You would never know that a few minutes earlier she was sleeping in her car seat. It was obviously play time since the camera was going. What a doll!

Savvy Kay ...

So, our little darlin' has discovered a new little play area under the coffee table. She has so much fun crawling under there with her toys. Here's a few snapshots of her this morning...

Barettes don't stay in Savvy's hair quite yet so, I tried a little ponytail holder and now she looks like Pebbles. So Cute!

She looks sooooo much like Brian in this pic - Awwww!

10 Months Old ...

Hey Everyone - Our girl turned 10 months old on Wednesday. It seems like I was just putting her 9 month pics on the blog last week. Oh wait, It was last week. Anyway, here are 2 videos of our sweetheart. There are some extreme closeups because she was trying to get the camera. Super Cute! Seriously, the teeth are coming in any day now. I've been saying that for months and she's still teething but, really, ANY DAY! She's sounding words to us, Brian and I will say something and in the same tone she'll try to say it back. So, Love You comes out la oo. She talks so much. People are amazed when we're out and about how much she talks. It's great. We have our own Savvy and Mommy language. I love it! She totally gets me. (giggle,giggle)
Enjoying every second, Amy

Uh oh spaghettio's the video's are crooked. I tried to turn them upright and for whatever reason it's not working. OOoops! turn your head to the left. You can still see 'em okay.

Sniffles and Scaredo's

The McCollum house has been a little under the weather for the past week. We've been staying in out of the wind and cold trying to recoupe. No ear infections to report - Halelujah! Savvy is still teething and has some congestion and a yucky cough. Even though she's not feeling her best she's such a trooper. I snapped a few shots of her this morning, her spirits are high and her hair is a mess. It was so cute I just couldn't help myself. Mommy had a scaredo too, it's not nearly as cute though.

9 month pics

Where in the world did January go? I'm just now posting our girl's 9 month pics and she'll be 10 months in @ a week in a half - geez this year is going fast already! Smooches and Love to our family and friends. Here's our girl just growing like a flower. She looks so much like Brian - so adorable! Enjoy!

P.S. no teeth yet.

After she took all of her toys out, i put Savvy in her toy basket and she had so much fun in her new play place. I'm sure we'll look at these in a few months and say - can you believe that she used to be able to sit in there.

Whoops! She was ready to roam free...
