My little baby is 6 months old! I can't believe it! He is just so much fun these days. His personality is really starting to show. He is the happiest baby. Just laughs all the time and has yet to meet a stanger.
Friday we went to see the doctor for a check up and shots. Poor little guy was not happy with me. But he is definitely a healthy baby. Weighing in at 18 pounds 7.6 ounces and 26.75 inches. Yikes! Now I know why my back hurts...I have been carrying an 18 pounder around all day.
The doctor told us to start feeding Jake "real" food. So Brian and I went to Target and loaded up on the baby food. I was checking prices and turned around and found Brian grabbing two of everything. I think we are more excited about the solids than Jake. Saturday afternoon we started with the rice cereal and every 3-4 days he will get a new food. There are some pictures of Brian feeding him. He kept crying in between bites because Brian couldn't shovel it in fast enough to suit Jake. But he got full and seems to be taking to the spoon well. Can't wait for the next food on Tuesday! Green beans...yummy!
We also had Jake's picture taken on Saturday. He was a little fussy that morning so we were worried it would be a waste of time but we ended up with lots of cute shots. I uploaded them so you can see the shots, they are in a separate album so you guys have double the pictures to see this week.
This week we are back in the water for swimming and have lots of lunch dates planned. It's going to be a busy week! But the real highlight is that Auburn football season opens this weekend! Our flag is flying and we are looking forward to a winning season! Jake's first football season. Have a great week and WAR EAGLE!!!

Finally New Pictures
Hello again!
We have finally gotten our new computer. I have been taking lots of pictures over the past few weeks. I am trying to make up for 3 weeks of no pictures.
Jake is growing like a weed. He goes to the doctor for his 6 month check up tomorrow. Half a year already! He is huge. I can't wait to see what he weighs. He is definitely a chunky monkey!
Jake has learned lots of new tricks. He is sitting up like a champ. He rarely falls over but I of course still surround him with pillows just in case. He holds his own bottle. Which let me tell you is fabulous! I just hand it to him and I am done! His new thing is to pump his arm up and down when he is excited. The more excited he gets the faster that arms goes up and down. It's adorable.
We started swimming lessons on Tuesday with his friend Davis. Jake was a little shy at first. The passie was in for the first 5 minutes and then we came out of our shell and had a good time. We went back today and now I think we have a little fish on our hands! I am already dreaming of him winning gold in the Olympics. He was kicking and splashing and having a wonderful time. He even went under and came up smiling and laughing. It's a great time. There are some cute pictures of Jake and Davis.
I will update more after we go to the doctor. Poor little guy has to get more shots. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Technical Difficulties
Well I am sorry to say that I won't be able to post pictures this week. That means next week there will be lots! On Tuesday night our house was struck by lightning. We lost a lot of stuff but most importantly our computer. So until we get that replaced no new pictures.
We had a fun week and of course had lots of pictures to show you guys. We had lunch with Hilary and Davis. Afterwards, Davis came home to play with us. I took tons of pictures of them it was so cute. They were both so good I was relieved. I haven't taken care of more than one little baby before. But they were angels and we can't wait for our next playdate!
This weekend we traveled to Sandersville for a family reunion. We got to show Jake off. He was a perfect little happy baby the whole weekend! It was great. He even slept in a little both days. Of course Brian and I were both up waiting for him to wake up so we could play. He is definitely a morning baby. Just wakes up smiling and giggling. We had a great time with all our family.
That's it from the McNeely's. Hopefully we will get our new computer soon and I can upload some pictures. Hope you all have a great week!
