immi 2.0

I’m making dinner and immi is making a mess.

We are at immi’s grandmom’s. She is doing tea as usual.

Immi, her grandmom and Auntie Junko are frosting sugar cookies and decorating them with sprinkles (I’m staying out of the kitchen to keep germs out!). Immi discovered that she LOVES sprinkles! She is sitting on the stool picking sprinkles off the frosted cookie and eating [...]

Where’s immi??

Auntie Junko is visiting us for the four day holiday weekend. And We are making play-doh pizza! Auntie Junko and I used the molds to make pizza toppings (broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, anchovies…!!) and immi is decorating her pizza (the pizza making kit came with more pizza-like colored dohs but I haven’t opened them [...]

I’ve been feeling not too well and I’ve finally decided to visit the doctor. After too many negative experiences with more doctors, our new doctor’s office is in DC. I’m waiting at the office and immi is walking with her dad, just around the corner, to get coffee.
It’s cold and windy today!

Here’s immi sitting at [...]

Immi loves to play with play-doh a lot these days.
Here she is contemplating.

And now making something.

…and here’s the video:

What’s immi doing?

Building magical land of immiville where ponies and hello-kitties and faeries live happily ever after!

…i find it interesting that immi now builds and plays with an entire village instead of playing with individual buildings one at a time.

I had the last of the 5 hour driving lesson today so Immi was at her grandmoms for a bit. She came home with a bow in her hair and matching mittens! She seems to like the bow and has been keeping it on for past several hours. She is eating lunch now.

I’m making dinner [...]

I was beginning to think that immi was bored of doing stickers. But, as it turns out, she was just bored of the ones I was giving her ($1 booklets of 500 stickers, we’ve had 3 different ones). She spotted a sheet of Hello Kitty stickers I was hiding and this is what she did [...]

Todd and I were thinking that, since Immi has been a teething monster and not likely to sit still for that long (though definitely nothing as bad as her first year molars!), we thought it might be fun to try out At Play Cafe which we had been meaning to go to since it opened [...]

I’m not feeling that great due to allergy (mold from the leaves outside?) and I’ve slacked on helping Immi pick up after her mess on minutely basis just for couple of hours and it became a disaster very quickly! For some reason, Immi is shuttling her things between rooms today (despite that they are meant [...]

It’s rainy today and we were all feeling a bit blegh. So we headed out to a coffee shop (Greenberry’s) with a laptop hoping to get something done. …and Immi got a free cookie for being cute, again (2 days in a row!). Here she is enjoying it.

…and then playing with her pony.

But unfortunately, Immi [...]

We missed Auntie Junko (she hasn’t been able to come stay with us in Reston since she is so busy!) so we made a very impromptu trip to DC to see her. We are at Teaism, of course. Todd and I are having bubble tea and Junko is having chai tea. Immi got a free [...]

It’s quite late at night but Todd needed a book for his work so we are at Barnes & Noble. Immi loves the children’s book section because they have the big train set and many benches around it. This area is most often crowded with older and quite rude boys during the day (immi seems [...]

It’s been a sad several weeks for our family, first with my maternal grandfather passing on, and then Todd’s cousin-in-law (I never had a chance to meet them but I thought of his new little family often because they had a daughter very shortly after Immi was born), and then this past weekend, my paternal [...]

Immi came home with a baby doll when she went to play at her grandmom’s house while I was having driving lesson (I’m on the road!…going a lot faster than 0.3 mph!) yesterday. Immi is putting the baby to sleep now. Just a moment before, she was making it walk (jumping it up and down [...]

We are watching Kung Fu Panda and Immi is eating carrots — an entire bag of carrots. I tried to give her few pieces in her bowl, but she didn’t want any of that. The carrots on the floor are the ones she ‘finished’ eating. Oskar is trying to decide if [...]

Here we are at Janna’s post-halloween-costume-party. It’s very nice Immi gets to wear her roo outfit one more time since it will definitely be too small next year.

Immi’s dad is a Mr. Nintendo.

People kept asking immi to hop! …and to my surprize, she wanted to practice (I didn’t even know she knew the [...]

We are at Starbucks having coffee. One of these days we might get to an amusement park or something but for now this is what we do for fun Immi is having a bagel.

Saturday is usually an errand day. We are at PetSmart for some kitty supplies. Immi actually hasn’t ever been [...]

Every day with immi is very different but it went like this today:
Immi is starting her day playing dress-up.

It’s lunch time now and she is sitting at her desk (I suppose this is fair since I sit at my desk for lunch most of the days) having pasta. She won’t sit in her high chair [...]
