busy busy busy

no pics this time, it's Thursday night, Joe has been out of town since last Sunday. We've gotten into a nightly routine of Joey asking to talk to Daddy on the phone, so we call about 7 or so. Joey tells Daddy we are making cookies, or whatever we happen to be doing, then blows kisses into the phone and hands the phone back to me.
He is still asking for Lin Lin from Thanksgiving.

I usually am a pretty organized person but this week I forgot Christina's food for daycare one day, the next day I forgot her bottles, then I always forget my keys laying around in her room and have to go back and get them after I drop Joey off. Things are hectic, honey are you out there? I hope you get some local work soon.
I have to look down at myself in the car on the way to work and make sure I got dressed. Today I went to work without any makeup on.

News:
Christina is still not moving around much, she'll roll over from her back to her stomach and kick, but no rolling over and over. She is good at reaching out for things, she wants to put everything in her mouth (she can put her toes in her mouth now). And she has found her voice, she'll fuss and squeal at me sometimes until I look at her, then she'll laugh. She had her 6 month checkup and flu shot, 6 shots, I don't know if that was more painful for her or me. She had mommy-itis tonight so I had to hold her pretty much the entire time after work. she has a red rash on her cheeks from her pacifier and drooling, I put loads of aquaphor on it and am trying to rid her of her pacifier, easier said than done.

Joey is talking a LOT .. he remembers everything. I am constantly telling him "no spit" which he does when he gets frustrated, so he told Christina "no spit baby Tina" when she was blowing rasberries. How do I let one spit but not the other?
He has gotten in the habit of yanking his hand away from me and running which he has done twice in the daycare parking lot and once at Kohl's when I was trying to buy him some pants, talk about scary. So now I have to have a death grip on his arm when he needs to hold my hand. Still not terribly interested in sitting on the potty. He runs into Christina's room in the morning so he can wake her up, he is so cute.

mommy: has deadlines at work and is stressed out without any help at home

daddy: has deadlines and is stressed out from working so much

next time I'll post some pictures, probably after Christmas, we are finally going to have a family portrait made at Picture People this Sunday
