Getting back into the groove

We are getting back into the groove of normal life! Emma Grace has had a big week. She started the week off by pulling herself up on the coffee table to a standing position. She's also taking a few steps forward in the crawling department. (this is good considering before she would only crawl backwards-and get really frustrated that she was moving away from the object she was trying to reach) And today her third tooth officially appeared. Yesterday was a no fun day for her-her gums were really bothering her and she cried most of the afternoon. But today the tooth is officially through the gums and she is back to being a happy camper. Made a yummy chicken and rice soup last night, as it's been cool here lately. But today it's warming up! Planning to go on a walk with the Kvernen ladies this afternoon and stop by the market for some chicken, onions, and peppers. Thinking of making fajitas on the grill, Tim Huffman style! Here are a few pics for you!

We had lunch at Peter's last week while out of town...it's a tex mex resturant that also has some southern favorites (a mean chicken biscuit) along with sweet tea. Emma Grace stuck with the pureed carrots...
Let's just say she wasn't happy about the carrots.... Today The Kvernen Girls came over so we could call Alisa on skype. She is in Thailand, having just had their second child, Zeb! The younger two were hanging out, being very entertained by Julianna. I'm beginning to not want to post pictures of my living room...they all have piles of toys in the background-I am trying to teach Emma Grace that we clean up after we play, but sometimes even moms (esp this mom) can't quite get it all together. oh well, guess you're seeing us as we really are!

The entertainer...

Also in Emma Grace news this week-she had her first spaghetti and loved it! She only had a little but managed to get it all over her face, hands and clothes! Will take a picture next time! This is the beginning of some messy eating for the Huffman house!
