Our First Month Together!

My, how time flies! I can't believe that an entire month has gone by. Mr. Logan is one month old. It makes me sooo sad to think that in two months, I'll be back to work. (Sigh!) So much has happened this past month. The first weekend after we left the hospital, Grandma Mary came to stay with us. (Thank God!) What would we have done without her? She cooked for us and helped us to take care of the baby. She helped to keep us sane. Since that weekend, we have had so many visitors. Grandpa Ed and Grandma Diane have had their weekly "Logan-time" bringing us goodies and treats. On Mondays, Grandma Helen comes to get her "Logan fix". We have also visited with so many others (the Bowers', the Swearengins, the Gallegos', the Moore/Hammonds, the Rappas, the Sages, the Ladds, the Jew Family, Michelley, the Schafer Park family, the Buffingtons, Shannon & Dave...the list goes on and on...)
During this month, Logan got to have his first bath by Mommy and Daddy. Let's just say that he didn't really care for it at all. He cried and screamed the entire time. Fortunately, thanks to the advice of Auntie Summer and Uncle Bryan, we warmed up the water and now he seems to enjoy them.
He has had several doctor appointments. His one-month appointment has put him in the 50th percentile for everything. He is currently 10 lbs. 7 oz., 21 1/4 inches long, and his head is 38 1/2 cm. in circumference. The doctor says that he is a textbook baby, absolutely perfect! (And we agree!) Yay!
Logan likes to spend his days being held by Mommy and Daddy. When he's not being held, he'll sit in his vibrating chair or the swing. He even likes to have "tummy-time"! Other than that, he eats, spits up, sleeps, and gets his diaper changed.
This month Robert got to celebrate his first Father's Day. Unfortunately, he had to work, but he got to come home to his baby boy, which made him happy!
Mommy spends her days taking care of Logan. We tried to go to Target together, just the two of us, but halfway through Logan decided he didn't care much for Target. We ended up abandoning everything in our cart and racing out of the store as quick as possible. Screaming Baby = No Target!
Logan has done so much growing in his first month. We can't wait to see what the month of July brings us!

Also...at the hospital!

He's so nice and quiet in this picture!

At the Hospital!

Here is Mommy with her new son! He's only 2 days old in this picture! We're actually getting ready to leave for home in this picture.

Here is the proud daddy with his new son!

On May 27, 2009 at 1:48 p.m. Logan Brandt Jew-Fortner graced the world with his presence! He was 8 lbs. 4 oz. and 20 1/4 inches long. He has lungs that can be heard from miles away. He is definitely a part of this family!

Pre-Baby Pictures!

Here is what our baby looked like in November!
Look at the size of that head!

We were so incredibly blessed by all of the showers that were thrown for us!

We figured we should show you what Logan looked like prior to coming out. Can you believe how big I got? We'd chosen to be surprised and not find out whether our baby was a boy or a girl until the big day!
