wrist cuff

Immi was investigating her dad’s wrist cuff last night so I put it on my wrist to show her how it works. Immi loved it immediately and grabbed the cuff out my hand and put it on her wrist. The cuff is quite a bit too big for immi so it would slip off unless [...]

shopping

Immi’s daddy is getting a haircut at the mall, so Immi and I tagged along. Immi is walking around and I’m pushing the empty stroller closely after her because Immi doesn’t see the point in having to wear shoes if she doesn’t get to walk around in them.

(I think that immi might be a bit [...]

game

Immi has been inventing and playing her own games lately (she plays for 10s of minutes!). This time she is using legos, Point A (a tub of legos located in front of the dresser) and Point B (black box with a flat top located on the shelf across the room from the lego tub). I’m [...]

ouch

Last night when I put Immi in her crib to go to sleep, she bobbled around in protest (which is quite usual). Then we heard a thud, several moments of silence, than a really really loud scream. Immi had bumped her chin into the railing; her lower lip had 2 teeth marks and bleeding: (
Immi [...]

pandapeds

Immi is taking a walk near the playground. She is wearing panda shoes we found on sale for $0.99 (!!) at the shopping mall this week. Immi walks very well even on the concrete path with pebbles and fallen branches.

Immi investigates dandelions.

happy earth day!!

Immi seems to be developing a sense of likes/dislikes for food. Until quite recently, she would eat almost anything. Not anymore. She really liked granny smith apple that came with fondue, so I chopped up some golden delicious for her and she won’t eat it. She seems to prefer toasted bread to a soft one. [...]

want!!

We are at Babiesrus to get some diapers and wipes. Immi and her dad are lounging in the comfy chair section and testing out various toys. Immi is doing “want” gesture at the set of crayons (fitted in a grabby-hand-friendly chunky plastic casing).

fondue

Aunt Junko is visiting us this weekend and we are waiting for a table at Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant).

We finished cheese fondue (immi really enjoyed the granny smith apple), salad and the main course fondue and now having dessert. The chocolate fondue came with large plate of assorted goodies for dipping and Immi fell [...]

stuck

Immi was happily playing in the bucket (I’m supposing that she stepped in and then squatted in it). But when she saw me and tried to come towards me, she found that she couldn’t.

tail

Immi’s giraffe has a stub instead of a puff at the end of his tail because immi chewed off all but two strands of fiber.

c’ville sunday

We are at Aqui es Mexico having lunch with my friends (Wendy, Allison&Immi, Kevin, Carey and Aurie). They are all smiling for immiblog: ) …except for immi who is busy playing with someone’s (is this one allison’s?) cell phone. Everyone offered up their phones for immi’s entertainment.

c’ville saturday

We are in Charlottesville this weekend. We drove down last night and here we are getting breakfast bagel at Bodo’s. Immi still looks sleepy!

We are having post-breakfast coffee at Mudhouse on the downtown mall. Immi is reading her book with her dad.

After a stroll around downtown where we found a big cushy kitty for immi, [...]

swing

It is a such a beautiful day out. Immi and I are at the playground which is part of the apartment complex. Immi loves the swing and she meows at the birds and the squirrels.

We met 4 year old twin boys and their very nice mom who were playing there. Immi had fun meowing to [...]

too big?

Immi and I are putting away laundry and she really wanted to wear my shirt, so I helped her put it on. She has suddenly grown much taller lately, it seems that she can reach more and more things!

Immi can definitely climb off the bed safely now (she turns around, grabs the bed, then slide [...]

obento

I wanted to show obachan — hi mom! — that we are using the obento box she got for immi (for when she visits her grandmom!). It’s not that I’m showing off my culinary skill: steamed veggie, freshly washed fruits, chopped-up bread and cheese…I guess I could put a bit more effort.

I found the background [...]

reading

Immi and I are having a — probably very short — reading time (Immi loves books, but she doesn’t like being read to much, she prefers to flip the pages herself and enjoy them in random order).

…after few moments of reading Posie Prefers PINK together on the bed, Immi wanted walk around the room [...]

Immi’s Ojiichan and Obaachan (my parents!) were in Japan for a couple of days and they sent us a box of goodies. There were bunch of stuff for immi!

Immi is running around after breakfast with empty (i took out the contents) box of biscuits while eating one.

Immi can *almost* climb off of the big bed [...]

misc.

When immi thrusts her open hand, it mean ‘want’. She has been making this gesture for a while now. Last night, she tapped the edge of the bath tub while staring into me and did her ‘want’ gesture. I guess she really loves bath!
She stopped waving for hello and bye-bye for nearly 2 month, but [...]
