Houston, we have a . . .

WALKER!! Here's a sweet little video of Max walking. It's a little long but he was just SO cute!! The way his little booty shakes side-to-side when he's walking was just too much!! The night we videoed this little clip he would say, "Yay!!" while walking. I LOVED IT!! Too bad his little footed pjs didn't have anything on the bottom to keep him from slipping. Now that he's discovered walking - he's walking everywhere and loves it. I can't wait for him to show off his new skills to Sally and Harper this week! It really started on Sunday (well it may have started in WM during his weekend visit but my family is too sweet to tell me otherwise!!) but he's been going non-stop since! He gets better EVERY day. We went for his 15 month check up yesterday and he's right on target. He's 34 inches (97%) and 28 lbs. (90%). His head measured 19.5 inches (95%).



Enjoy his walking video.








We also welcomed a new member into the family yesterday. Colin Thomas Carter was born to Trey (Kelly's cousin) and Hannah!! Everyone is healthy! We are SO excited and can't wait to meet him this weekend. (And of course let Max show off his mad skills to Trey and Hannah - ha!!)



Terri Lynn (Sally's cousin) stayed with us this week and Max is in LOVE with her!! We don't want her to leave!!! We hope you all have a MAXnificent week.



Love and hugs!

He's a Maniac, Maniac

I know I just posted but I have another video to include. For some reason blogger wouldn't let me put two videos into one post. Max goes to stroller strides with me almost every day. Well, we do an exercise that we call maniacs where we basically run in place. At home, we like to sing the maniac song. Here's a video of Max doing his maniacs-excuse my singing!

Hugs and Love!!

We've found the Camera - WOO HOO!!

Max took a few more steps today (6 to be exact! yes, I know I'm ridiculous!), but I think he is still a ways away from being a walker. He cannot be fooled into taking unassisted steps. Let me explain - Max enjoys walking along while holding onto anything and everything - walls, couches, toys, whatever. He really likes to walk behind toys or while holding your hand. Max, however, will not (voluntarily) release whatever he is holding to take a step towards something he desires. His steps have occurred when walking with me. I let him get in front of me. The combination of the momentum and the delay in noticing I've released his hand results in Max taking steps towards the wall or baby gate. I imagine our next milestone will be when he voluntarily steps towards things. The important thing is he CAN do it - he just chooses not to do it. Ha!! We go for our 15 month check up Tuesday, so I'll have more to update then. Enjoy some new pictures and videos!!

Max got these sunglasses for Easter but has only recently showed an interest in wearing them. He thinks he is SO cool!!

Here's a video of him playing with his glasses. He says, "O, yeah!" It's TOO cute. I just LOVE how excited he gets with these glasses.

Here's his uh-oh, she caught me doing something I know I shouldn't be doing

This is how I found him one morning - playing with the cokes!! I thought it was so funny!

He cracks himself up (me too!) when he climbs onto this stool when it is in the corner! Max LOVES crawling around with this monkey in his mouth. It's so weird, but, once again, funny!Look at that BELLY!!!! We have SOO much fun at the McNulty house. Max loves climbing into the suitcase and being pulled around the house. It's TONS of fun!!
You can almost hear him laugh in this one!!

Baby Steps!?!?!

Max took his FIRST steps last night!!!! THREE to be exact!! We are ecstatic! He's trying to stand all of the time these days. He spent the night with his Sugah and Pop on Friday while Kelly and I were in Hot Springs for the Bar Convention. It was our first night away together as a couple. I don't know what Sugah and Pop did with Max but we may just have to send him back!! Max also spent some time with Memaw and Papaw. He really has a good time over there and I was so relieved that he was good for them - you just never know!!
Thursday night Max and I headed to Stuttgart. Max and Harper were SO cute together. I love how much they love each other. They just played ALL night - I didn't have to do a thing. It was great.
This weekend one of my oldest, dearest friends, Rob, is getting married in Little Rock. Max will be spending the weekend with my aunt Gayle and uncle Joe. Wish them luck!
Well, I don't have any pictures b/c my camera is MIA, but hopefully I'll find it soon.

Have a fabulous week. Love and hugs!

Max, Harper and the ZOO!!!

We hope you've all had a nice Memorial Day weekend. We've certainly enjoyed our holiday and are thankful to our soldiers. Today, we went to the zoo with the Feilke clan. (Harper and Max just didn't get enough of one another at the Wonder Place!) We didn't really take any pictures of the animals - the boys were our entertainment!

Farmer Max

Aren't they just the cutest??

Riding on the Carousel

Have a MAXnificent week.

Hugs, the McNultys

We HEART the Wonder Place!!

This past Friday, Max and I met Harper and Sally for lunch and some playtime at the Wonder Place in Little Rock. We had a FABULOUS time!!! By the end of our playtime at the Wonder Place, Max was SO worn out that he just layed down on the floor!! Here are some pictures!

The boys "carbing-up" before play time!
