Just another quick comparison photo post… Man, there are sometimes I look at Foster and I think that it’s Emma all over again.  They have some of the exact same mannerisms, smiles, and laughs.  HOWEVER, as Foster gets older, they are looking more and more different.  I took Foster to get some 3 month pictures a couple of weeks ago.  Foster is on the left and Emma’s 3 month pictures are on the right (obviously, he is not the one with the bow!)  I think it fascinating to watch these two grow and change on a daily basis.  They mean the world to me!

I also wanted to post these two graphs below (because I’m a nerdy nurse who loves charts and graphs!)   There is a great website called “My Birthcare” where you can keep track of your kids’ weight and height.  Foster is in blue, Emma is in pink.  She started off pretty big but quickly slowed down and is now very petite.  I have a feeling Foster is going to be a chunky monkey… just another difference between siblings. :)

Robin turned 33 on Foster’s 3 month birthday. :)  We celebrated the 2 milestones by going to one of our new favorite Tulsa restaurants, Genghis Grill.

Here is a picture of Robin with his two kiddos before we went out to eat:

After a very yummy lunch, Robin took us on a tour of the vicinity of his NEW JOB!!!

I haven’t blogged much lately because we’ve been super busy making big decisions… After working for an awesome company for the past TEN YEARS, Robin has accepted a new job with a local start-up company called Doc Via. 

This will be a huge change for our family.  Robin has been working out of the home ever since we moved to Tulsa so having Robin at home is all Emma knows as a “normal life!”  While there will be some major adjustments to get used to, I look towards the future with much optimism.  Robin is very excited about his new job and I know that his passion for his work will carry him far.  Robin is currently in Dallas wrapping up his 10 years with Dell/Perot Systems and will begin his new job next Monday, March 8th. 

We’ve been very busy buying new clothes for Robin because he has been working out of pajamas for the last 7 years… not really, but kind of! 

Please pray for our family as we embark on this new journey!

We’ll miss you at home from 8-5 Robin but we’re excited for you too.  Thanks for all you do for our family.

We had a wonderful 1st Valentine’s Day as a family of FOUR!  Emma and Daddy went to church this morning while Mommy and Foster stayed at home and held down the fort.  I haven’t been feeling great the last couple of days so I decided to try to rest and recover.  My first day back at work in the NICU was Friday evening from 3pm-11pm and it kind of wore me out!  

This afternoon we just hung out and took some pictures (see below.)  Tonight we were so blessed to have my mom, “Nana”, and my aunt, “Aunt Judy” come babysit our two kiddos so that we could go on a date for Valentine’s Day.  We went to McGill’s and had a wonderful dinner (courtesy of my Uncle Ron and his girlfriend Christi who gave us a gift card for Christmas!)  Steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and yummy chocolate dessert- now THAT is the way to my HEART!!! :)  Robin and I had a great time celebrating our 11th Valentine’s Day together.  He is such a wonderful husband and father and I feel so lucky to be his wife.

Here are some pictures of Emma and Foster taken on Valentine’s Day.  The heart blanket they are laying on was made by Robin’s Grandmom when Emma was born- isn’t it perfect for these pictures?

I love the rolls on Foster’s legs in this picture!!!

This is Emma right before she went to her Valentine’s Day party at school on Thursday- she was SO excited!

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Curry family!

Emma was invited to a very fun Princess Birthday party for her friend, Chloe who just turned 4 years old.  The girls were invited to wear a princess dress to the party and Emma decided to wear an adorable Snow White dress that she got for her Birthday from her good friend, Aubrey.  Emma was pretty shy for the first half of the party but she did finally warm up and dance with the other princesses.

Ok… am I the only crazy momma who thinks that boy clothes are JUST as cute as girl clothes… maybe even cuter?  I mean, I can hardly stand seeing Foster in a teeny tiny polo shirt and jeans, or what about a tiny sweater vest that fits an 11 pound baby?  ADORABLE!

Yesterday I had an outfit on him that I thought was pretty cute so I decided to take a couple of pictures because I’m afraid he is already outgrowing it.  The outfit was corduroy puppy overalls with cargo pant pockets and a pocket on his left sleeve… and daddy thought it would be funny to put little items in his pocket.  Like babies really NEED pockets???

We are very lucky to have Nana living just 2 miles from our house.  She has come to my rescue several times within the past 12 weeks… when we just need an extra set of hands to hold a fussy baby, feed a fussy baby, dance with a 3 year old, let mommy take a shower, babysit so we can go on a date, etc.  She truly has been a lifesaver!  I feel very blessed to have her so close and never want to take her for granted.  I think I’m correct in saying that she kind of enjoys spending time with the kiddos too so it works out nicely for everyone.  :)

Here is Nana getting some big smiles from Foster.  Emma joined in after a couple of minutes…

Emma is such a helper with baby Foster (most of the time!)  She loves to help me change his diaper and she really loves to hold the bottle when he eats.  Obviously, I supervise her very closely.  Sometimes I have to help her readjust the bottle but for the most part she does a pretty good job.  I love the last picture where it looks like she is showing Foster how to open his mouth. 

To balance out the damage done with the previous post, I need to post some pictures of our manly little Foster.  Here he is ready for his first job interview…

(He may need to wipe the drool off his chin before his interview!)

check out that belly!

He didn’t ask to have a big sister… he’s not able to fight for himself… YET!!!

Do you notice anything unusual in the picture below?

I have a feeling some day he’ll get even. :)

He’s growing up WAY TOO FAST.
