Little Man is 9 Weeks Old Today!

Hi everyone - hope you had a great Mother's Day weekend...we had so much fun and were able to see a lot of family and friends. On Saturday, I had a great birthday as my mom and I went to Jolene's bridal shower in Morgan. There we got to see a lot of good friends, and Andray got passed around like a little football, it was great! He did so good too and slept through the entire Pampered Chef presentation at the shower....Andray thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially as he sported his DUKE JERSEY from Jen and Jay! Thanks so much for giving him his first Duke Jersey! Before the shower we got to see where Ann and Chad and Andrew live in Redwood, and got to hang out with Andrew our Godson...he's so sweet. He didn't say a word, but he was so proud to show us his big bedroom! After church on Saturday we stopped to visit Emily and Jesse Berg at the Van Hee's house so that we could meet their new little girl...Finnley Jo...she's beautiful and so little! She was a whole pound bigger than Andray at birth, and she felt like a feather compared to Andray now. It's just crazy how fast the kids grow! But congrats to Em and Jesse on their new addition.

My first Mother's Day was very special too...got to spend the morning with my "boys" and my parents and my brother Jacob in Redwood, and then the afternoon with the Stang side in Holdingford...nice day, lots of driving, and Andray was a great sport in the car. Pretty much slept most of the time in the car (which is smart!).

Last night, Andray gave me the best birthday present ever! Jake fed him at 11 p.m. and he slept until 6:30 this morning! Yep, that's right...Little Man slept through the night for the first time! It was amazing to get almost six straight hours of sleep, I feel like a whole new person. So, I'm sure he won't sleep through the night every night, but at least it's a start.

We love you all and it's hard to believe Andray is already 9 weeks old. This Saturday he will be baptised and we are very excited to see all the family again and have him go through this blessed sacrament. It will be a special weekend for Little Man.

Enjoy the photos....

Love, Jake Celest and Andray Paul

My first Mother's Day with my boys...Andray wore his "I Love Mommy" bib all day!

My and my boy on my birthday...it was the best birthday ever to have Andray here with me!

The three of us read Saturday morning at Papa Larry and Grandma Carol's house after eating breakfast...Andray's attention span isn't too long though! ha!

Andray's eyes continue to stay bright blue...we just love it...Here he's resting with Jody at Jolene's shower on Saturday.

Jenny and Jay Steffensmeier gave Andray this Duke jersey when he was born. Thanks so much, it fits perfect now!

We ordered these Duke socks before Andray was born and they're almost too small already! He's growing so fast!

Andray had a good time hanging out with all the "Madsen Girls" on Saturday. Thanks so much Jenny and Jody for throwing a great shower! Everyone always says the four of us could be sisters just by looking at us...I'd have to agree!

Andray was sleeping after church in his car seat when we stopped to visit Em and Jesse...Em is holding little Finnley...she's so precious and has the darkest black hair! Love it!

Jake couldn't believe how light Finnley was either! She made Andray seem so big already!

Andray wore a polo shirt and blue carpenter pants on Sunday for Mother's Day. Here he's hanging out with his blue bear from Great Grandma Rausch before we had to take a bath that night. He's such a good baby, hard to believe how fast the time is going and how big he's getting! We love him soooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
