sunday

We are preparing brunch at immi’s grandmom’s. While omelettes and waffles are cooking, immi runs around with her ducky-monkey. She is very happy because she just spotted Mr. Darcy.

Immi caught Mr. Darcy by his tail. He doesn’t seem to mind this much. They like to play together a whole lot.

Now we are at IKEA because [...]

saturday

Aunt Junko invited us for dinner in DC for my birthday (…which is tomorrow!).
We can’t come out to DC and not stop by Teaism so here we are sitting in the mini garden in front of the shop having bubble tea. Immi is having crunchy treats in her new stroller which was my birthday gift [...]

bad?

Immi was cruising around the table after dinner. As she reached for a blob of ketchup on the plate, Todd said “Immi, No.” (which she understands). But immi proceeded to stick her hand in the ketchup anyways. When I asked “Are you being bad?”, she threw me a kiss and giggled.

shoes

Immi got new pair of shoes! I looked for ones that would be easier for her to walk around in and these have soft leather soles. Besides, they are fuzzy and pink leopard print! Immi hates wearing socks and she’ll pull them off as soon as I put them on, but she’ll keep socks on [...]

Hello Spring!

Immi is playing with lego blocks. She really likes them (and me too!). Mostly, she likes to take them apart and investigate individual pieces, but she does occasionally stick pieces together as well.

raspberries

Immi finished eating frozen raspberries and now finger painting with them on her trey. Frozen fruits seem to help her with teething. She likes ice chips too, but I thought that fruits would be more nutritious. I just put some chopped up grapes in the freezer, hopefully those would be less messy!

sunday

We are at Port City Java at Eastern Market in DC. We came for fresh veggies and such at the farmer’s market but it was unexpectedly a bit cold so we are warming up a bit at the coffee shop. Immi is munching on waffles I made in the morning.

Having bubble tea and healthy/tasty lunch [...]

gates

We have been immi-proofing our place gradually for a long time now. But it was time to get more serious. We got 2 tall gates and some other little gadgets to secure cabinets and drawers the night before and I installed them today.

Immi looks grumpy in the picture but it’s probably not so much because [...]

weekend

Todd is in NY for the weekend so immi and I invited Auntie Junko for extra fun. We made green tea mousse, carrot cookies with frosting, shopped online for fabrics to make Junko a laptop case and ordered-in Thai food.
Immi had so much fun crawling/waking/running(!) around with junko following after her and playing hide-and-seek.

hair brush

Immi really likes her pearlescent lavender hair brush: mostly for chewing on. So we had a hairbrushing 101 with a little help from Mr. Teddy Bear. Immi got the brushing thing immediately and had fun brushing Mr. Teddy’s head. When immi was satisfied, she started brushing her own hair.

stacking toy

Immi mastered the stacking toy! When I haphazardly stacked the scattered rings to get them off the floor, immi came over to take them apart and then effortlessly stacked them back up in the correct order.
…and then later in the day, she got the toy stacked in order again. So, I clapped and said “yay!!” [...]

Today is saturday and we are working on laundry. Immi wants to sort clean laundry with me, and she seems to be able to pick out socks.
Here is immi walking off with as many socks as she can carry and one more.

In the evening, we went to a party hosted by Todd’s boss at work. [...]
