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!

11 Months Old!!!

Happy, happy 11 months old to our sweet, precious baby giant! We love this boy oh so much! Let's start with the BIGGEST news for Mommy and Daddy.... we FINALLY have a baby that sleeps the ENTIRE night! Oh my goodness, I thought this day would never come! He has still been waking up once a night for a 3 oz bottle for months now. Letting him cry didn't work, slowly reducing the ounces didn't work, ... Brooks just took his own sweet time! Mommy is so, so, so excited to sleep for the next several months before baby brother gets here and we start again!

Brooks is having lots of fun as an 11 month old! His favorite toys are trains and cars. He lays on that sweet little belly and plays with those toys all day. He also still very much loves to read. I think we read about 10 books a day... seriously! His sweet little baby babble is sounding more organized too. Although we still can't pick out any real words from him, we love hearing his voice!

We prepare this month for Brooks' first birthday party! Festivities actually kick off this Saturday with a celebration in Augusta with my immediate family and closest friends. Brooks and I leave on a jet plane in the morning and can't wait!

Enjoy a few pics of our always growing baby giant!


Look at that giggly boy with all those teeth!



I think this boy is beautiful!



Becoming such a big boy... feeding himself some snacks.



Oops! Full moon alert! He will hate me for this one day! Ha Ha! He got away from me after bath time!

Happy 11 months old to our precious brown eyed boy!
