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!

Nine Months Old and Life With My Toddler Boy!!!

Fun, fun, FUN month!! The boys are growing and LOVING each other so much lately. They have the sweetest bond. Parker has had a pretty good month. Everyone asks me all the time how Parker is doing. I usually only tell my family and closest friends when he is sick these days because it's so hard to understand. One day he will be completely fine and the next day he is not. All in all, he has a really good month. We've had some sick days but nothing that lasts longer than a day. Parker is SOOOO mobile these days! He's everywhere... and ONLY wants to stand. He has just started to cruise on our furniture too! He's now starting table food... he eats a half of a banana each day at lunch. I'm impressed! He has also started waving bye bye. :) I can't believe I forgot the BIGGEST news... he now SLEEPS ALL NIGHT!!! Woo hoo!! Parker now sleeps from 6:30 pm to 8:30 am. Heavenly!!!

We CELEBRATED all day long today for Brooks' 2nd birthday! His birthday is tomorrow and we will be taking it EASY. If you know Brooks, you know that he is the ultimate COOKIE MONSTER. We celebrated with a cookie buffet! I am not exaggerating when I say that Brooks ate cookies ALL DAY LONG! And no, I didn't stop him... you only turn 2 once! At (almost) 2, Brooks is singing his ABCs, can say all of his family's names, is the BEST big brother... picks up dropped paci, tells me when we have an "uh oh" (spit up), and loves to help Mommy with chores. He will bring me his and his brother' s laundry bags and then take the empty bags back to their rooms. He makes us so proud!! Expect a photo bomb from his party soon!!!

Look how big this sweet boy is getting!! 

He loves to look at his reflection in the fridge... he tries to kiss his face! Adorable! 

I caught you cutie-pie!!

Future runner?? I hope so!!

This is what we find all the time. A naked little boy! He will not keep his clothes on!!
