Little Man is 6 Weeks Old!

Hello family and friends - Hard to believe our "Little Man" is 6 weeks old today...time is just flying by. Andray Paul is doing great and growing like a weed still. He doesn't go back to the doctor until 8 weeks along, so we're curious as to how much he weighs now. I have to go back to work on Monday, May 5th...yes Cinco de Mayo...I'm dreading it, just because I love being home with Andray! But like Jake said, "every mom goes through the process of returning to work," so I just will have to deal with it.

Hope all is well with all of you. Andray continues to have visitors (which is great), and he even took a visit to Willmar to see cousins Kristen and Cassie, to Olivia to see Great Grandma Lingl, and to Redwood Falls to meet a ton more people. He's excited for his baby shower this coming Saturday here at his Grandma Sandy's, he's excited to meet all the Stang's and Rausch's.

Andray's biggest change is that he smiles now sometimes...some say it may be gas, but he can follow Jake and I and smile at us, which melts our hearts.

Love to you all,

Jake, Celest and Andray Paul

Andray hanging out with his Blue Bear from Great Gma Rausch today before he ate...can you tell he's hungry?

Yep, he was really hungry, we stopped taking photos after this and got down to business, breakfast time! Ha!

Andray took his first bath at Gpa and Gma Frank's this past Saturday...his hair gets so curly when it's wet!

He loves warm baths once he gets in the water...the initial feel of the
water he doesn't like so much!

His eyes are bright blue...love it!

Stylin' in his first pair of jeans from Auntie Rhonda and Uncle Brian...Happy 2nd Anniversary to them as well today! Lots has happened in the past two years!

Andray's feet are little clones of Jake's feet...it's hilarious!

Jake calls Andray "Little Houdini" because no matter how tight we swaddle him for naps or bedtime, he always seems to find a way to wiggle his arms and hands up by his face...we always laugh!

Just can't get enough of him!

Papa Larry wouldn't even give Andray up when he had to take a phone call at the Law Office! Papa Larry was pretty proud...gotta love it.

Papa Larry reading to Andray...just precious.

Gma Carol combing Andray's hair after his first bath at the Frank's. So handsome!

Andray loves his great Grandma Lingl so much!

Andray and my hands...I actually have nails now! Prenatal vitamins actually do work!

Andray finally got to meet the third and final "Madsen Sister" last Friday afternoon in Redwood Falls where Jody works. It was so great to see Jody again and we're looking forward to seeing her alot this summer as we celebrate and prepare for Jolene's bridal showers/bachelorette party/and of course the most important day, her wedding!

It was so great to see cousin Kristen Frank last Sunday...thanks for coming to visit Kris, we love and miss you! Thanks for the awesome outfit and bootie rattles too!
