Hangin’ Out

 

Here are some random pictures from the last few weeks.  I am happy to report that Max is doing better with Kyler.  We have been able to get a few more pictures of the two boys together, and Max no longer tries to ignore the baby.  He has actually become much sweeter towards Kyler.  He tells me when the baby is crying and he gives the baby kisses on the head before bedtime. 

One thing Max does that is hilarious to us, is he tries to “bust” Kyler.  Kyler still has his hands in fists like most newborns frequently do.  Well sometimes Max notices this and tries to fist bust him and yells “Boom” as he does it.  Also, he thinks it is funny that baby Kyler has a belly button like his:)

Kyler’s 2 week Stats:

Weight: 9 lbs 15oz

Height: 21 7/8”

Max likes to just chill on this stair for some reason.  He is so full of personality it cracks me up!

Our first week

Our first week with Kyler has been so wonderful.  I already feel like I can’t imagine our lives with out him and I am enjoying all the snuggles! 

My parents came out to help for a week.  The timing actually worked out perfectly because they got here the night before I was induced.  Max had a lot of fun with his nana and papa while I was in the hospital.  Even though I missed him, it was so nice to not have to worry about him while we were away.  My parents were extremely helpful and we were so grateful to have them here.  Thanks for everything Mom and Dad!

Time to go home:

 

Max is warming up to Kyler… sort of.  For the most part he purposely ignores him.  We tell him to come say hi to the baby and he just looks the other way.  He also has decided he wants Daddy to do everything.  It’s like I betrayed him and so he is punishing me lol.  It makes me a little sad but I know it will get better.  I was sad we were not able to get a single picture at the hospital of Max with Kyler.  This is the ONE picture we have been able to get so far of Max with Kyler.  He sat close for about a minute and then he was done:)  So it’s an adjustment.

 

Kyler bought Max a doggy to try and get on his good side.  Max loves it!

Max is also taking care of Kyler’s doggy until Kyler gets older.

Our little beef cake

 

Kyler Barry Knudsen is here and he is beefy:)  He was born April 27th, at 3:08 pm weighing 9 pounds 3 ounces, 21 inches long.  I went in that morning to be induced at 6 am.  Although when they admitted me I was already 4 cm dilated and having regular contractions on my own.  So the party was getting started soon anyways.  My dr. broke my water around 8am and he was born 7 hours later.  We absolutely LOVE him!  He is already nursing like a champ and doing so well.  Max on the other hand is not sure about him yet.  When we try to show Max the baby he ignores him and looks the other way.  But every once in a while he says baby and smiles.

Kyler looks totally different from Max, at least to us. I think he looks a little like Max when his eyes are closed.  But when they are open he looks totally different.  Max looks like a Knudsen, but I think Kyler looks more like a Fullmer.  And who knows where our kids light hair is coming from???

I’ll be posting more pictures soon, but here is a few for now.  He is so handsome!

       

D Day has arrived!

I’m getting induced tomorrow and I am sooooo excited!  Max was 2 weeks early and so I really set myself up thinking I would go early again.  These last few weeks have been very long. 

I  know it sounds weird, but I am a little sad my alone time with Max is ending.  We have had so much fun together these last 18 months.  But we are so excited to have baby Kyler join our family!  One more cute little boy to love and have fun with!  And I can’t wait for Max to have a little brother to play with!

Here I am at 40 weeks.  BIG belly:)

Captain Kyler’s Room

Kyler’s Pirate room is complete… for now.  There are still a few more things I want to do and a few bare places that are driving me nuts.  I think it turned out pretty cute and I had a ton of fun doing it.

   

    

Here is a view of the room.  The oar for the curtain rod is officially the most random thing I have ever ordered online.  I got it from Cabela’s for $15 and then sanded and repainted it.

The crib and dresser I got off of Kingwood Yard Sales for a steal!  They were a natural wood color and a little banged up so we refinished them in black.  I really like how they turned out!  And now I have absolutely NO desire to ever refinish furniture again.  What a pain!  But it sure saved us some $$

The treasure map is probably one of my favorite parts of the room.  I found a lady on ETSY that makes them.  She even put both Kyler and Max’s name into the map and it turned out awesome!

The two ships and pirate I got off of Kingwood yard sales also.  I was super excited when I found them. 

        

My sweet and talented friend made this Captain Kyler sign. So darling!

It’s hard to see from the picture.  But the bedding has skulls on it.  Not creepy skulls, cute skulls.  There is a difference haha. 

    

I also got this beauty off of Kingwood yard sales.  For about a month I saw the trunk listed and desperately wanted it.  It was only $30 but I would have had to drive over an hour a way to get it.  On Valentine’s Day Jeremy surprised me with it!  I know that sounds like a weird V-Day present, but it was the best present ever!  I loved it!  And isn’t it the perfect treasure chest?

The picture says “Savy Lil Swashbuckler”.  My talented friend also designed that vinyl and I think it turned out super cute with a frame I already had.

     

So I know this entire post should be an ad for Kingwood Yard Sales, but I really did find some steals that I am soooo excited about!  One other thing I found was saloon doors for Cowboy Max’s room:)  I refinished them of course, but they were only ten bucks! 

It should be noted that my husband did not have so much fun with Kyler’s room nor does he enjoy hanging oars and saloon doors on our walls…and this is him writing this last sentence.
