Welcome to the Kurtz Family! I am from south Georgia but married a NOLA boy. He swept me off my feet and moved me to the great state of Louisiana. Together we've created a precious family of two sweet boys.... only 14.5 months apart. We are busy! Brooks is silly, giggly and so much fun! Parker is sweet, cuddly, and so loving. You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but Parker has a rare disease called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. We are learning to deal with CVS as a family and keep Parker as healthy as possible!

Four Months Old!!

Four months got here so very fast! Brooks is growing, and Growing, and GROWING!!! At his four month appointment yesterday, he weighed in at 18 pounds and 3 ounces, and is still 25.5 inches long. That means he is in the 95th% for weight and in the 50-75% for height. Ooops! Brooks just enjoys his food! When his nurse came in to give him his shots she said, "It shouldn't hurt you as bad sweet Brooks because you have those perfect little thighs." His chunky thighs are pretty perfect!

He has had another active month full of new milestones. Brooks now kicks nonstop. He likes to kick on different materials to hear different noises. The nurse had to change the paper on the examining table twice yesterday because he had such a great time kicking and tearing up the paper! His other favorite activity is jumping in his jumper. He falls asleep at least once a day 'jumping for joy!' He also LOVES for Mommy & Daddy to sing to him. The boy will throw his head back laughing at Mommy singing "The Wheels On The Bus." I always say that Brooks is the only person that thinks I am funnier than Chad. The boy seriously thinks I am a comedian! Chad and I just absolutely treasure each and every laugh, giggle, and sweet baby babble. This child is such a delight!


18 lb and 3 oz... He officially weighs more than Anabelle!


He is so happy at his Dr. appointment!


This sweet boy is always SO GIGGLY! He makes our lives so happy!


These two are always together! Side by side.


This is Brooks' first try at eating rice cereal with a spoon. He is not so sure.
