Andray's 1st Big Boy Haircut!

Little Man did so good at his first haircut last night. We went to visit Nia in Watkins (if you don't get your hair cut there, you should, she's awesome!). Dray's Godmother was so nice to make it too, and she held Andray while I took photos. He never cried, but moved his head and hands around a lot. Nia did a great job with him, I think at one time he had two combs and a hair clip in his hands to keep him busy! Needless to say, I can't believe how old he looks now. My baby boy is growing up, and it's sad. Have a great week everyone...enjoy the before and after photos!

Love, the Stang's....

Before bed last night...Nia even used an electric razor on his neck. What a big boy!

Gotta love all the hair, I had so much fun putting it in a pony last week! ha! Jake wasn't too thrilled about the pony tail...I promised him it was a "one-time" thing.

Yesterday before we left to get his hair cut....he definitely needed one!

Can't believe how long his hair was...no wonder people at the clinic always call him a girl....good stuff!

Nia put Andray's hair in a pony and cut that so I could keep it for his scrapbook (which I promised myself I would have complete by his 1st b-day...guess I need to do some major scrapbooking!)....He was a good sport and I'm so thankful Sarah could be there to help and witness his haircut! Thanks so much Sarah!

Andray checking out Nia's comb and sissors before she started cutting...he was very curious the entire time. I'll never forget his first haircut.

Friendly Fun at the Pool

Hello everyone - Andray and I were fortunate enough to visit the Van Hee family (best friends from good ole Redwood Falls) on Sunday at the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud. Andray got to wear his swim trunks and go swimming for the first time! He was a tad scared at first, but ended up loving it. As you can see, Andray's wearing a UNC t-shirt (no, we are no being traitors to Duke, although they did lose to BC yesterday), but figured if the t-shirt discolored in the pool, we wouldn't be too sad about it! ha! (sorry Eric and Sarah, who gave him the t-shirt for Xmas)...anyway, hope you all have a great week. Andray is slowly but surely getting healthy again, it's just been a long three weeks. Love, the Stang's...

Andrew (our handsome Godson), Ann, Celest and Andray Paul having fun in the waves.

It was so good to see our best friends again! We love you Ann, Andrew and Chad!

Andray and Andrew look their Deer caught in the head lights, ha! They have so much fun together, just wish they could see each other more often! Miss you Andrew, thanks for being so good to Andray yesterday!

Dray Is 11 Months on the 11th!

Hard to believe Little Man is 11 months old today...quite fitting though that he's 11 months on the 11th day of February...the day that Duke hosts North Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium! Although Andray will be in bed before the game starts (at 8 p.m. CT tonight on Raycom/ESPN - just incase anyone wants to tune in), Jake and I will be up all night cheering the Dukies on! Have a great rest of your week everyone...Dray is so much fun, not quite crawling yet, but definitely scooting around and reaching for everything!

Love, the Stang's

Those eyes and teeth just melt us...

Go Duke!

Finally Feeling Better

Hope you are all doing well...Andray is finally over the flu and is now battling a cold, but at least he doesn't have the high temps anymore and is at least keeping most of his food down. We are doing well. Hard to believe we are over 24 weeks already with BS#2. I'm feeling great, and definitely bigger with this one, but we are very blessed and the pregnancy is going way too fast! I have no idea when Jake and I will get the house ready, but hopefully in May we'll have a couple weeks to prepare once my work load slows down. Here, Andray is sporting a wonderful hat that his Grandma Stang got for him to wear! We were all just laughing at Andray (he looked like a little old farmer with that hat on), especially Auntie Rachel who's holding him! Love to you all! The Stang's
