immi 2.0

Immi and I are sharing a cupcake. I discovered that if I offer her a fork, she’ll eat the cake too and not just the frosting!

…a little brother!
We had the level II sonogram today (I’m currently 18 weeks and 5 days along). After a very long poke and jab (the baby was being very very active and won’t sit still even for a split second!) they were able to get an image of all the major organs and limbs and [...]

Immi is being spooky. Well, actually she just took a bath mood-lit with some rechargeable nightlights. We’ve had these in red, green and blue, and immi LOVES them!

Today, immi said ‘hat!’ (while pointing at a hat in a picture book) and few other things but i can’t remember…

We aren’t done yet with immi’s room (it’s getting there…). Most of immi’s toys have been locked up in her new room and I figured she misses her toys so here we are playing in the very chaotic unfinished play room.

Little witch in training!

Today, immi said “fish!!” (…at the goldfish crackers…) and “gurgurt!?” when she [...]

Very tired immi fell a sleep in the living room.

Immi has been very good about sticking stickers on in her notebook or on herself and I’ have been trusting her with stickers, I guess a little too much. Look at what happened to my shelf of books!

Immi has been saying all sorts of things lately. Addition to regularly used words are ‘ice’ and ‘lights’. When we walk into a dim room, immi always asks for lights to be turned on.
She also said ‘key’ (I think I’ve heard her say that long time ago…) and ‘popcorn’ (we made some last night). These [...]

I found a bakery in Herndon (a town nextdoor to Reston) — Patisserie Lille. Naturally, we had to stop by!
Immi and Todd are having cookies, I got a fruit tart (it has kumquat on it!!). The owner of the place was very nice and we chatted for a while.

Immi finally warmed up to her baby [...]

Todd said to me quite late in the evening “You know, only thing I wanna eat is Indian food!”. This was so very funny to me because we hardly ever eat Indian food (I over-dosed on Indian during college years, and Todd’s stomach doesn’t really like it) AND I just had microwave Chicken Tikka Masala [...]

Immi decided that wearing swimming goggles on her head is totally THE new look. She is playing with Hello Kitty block puzzle (she doesn’t know that it makes six different big pictures, she just enjoys putting them neatly back in the box) at the moment.

Every time immi wears a hugely over-size hoodie, I think that [...]

We are doing our weekly grocery shopping. Immi is enjoying being really tall!

Immi and her daddy playing.

Immi overheard her dad saying to someone on the phone that he was going to give immi a bath. This got immi very excited and she ran over to the bathroom door, tapped on it and asked hopefully — “ba, baaath!?”. Immi loves bath, and I have no idea why because [...]

Todd sent me off to DC to hang out with my sister for 1/2 a day saying that he’d be most productive if I were happy and not meddling with his to-do-list:p Junko and I had a long lunch at Busboys and Poets (I had a burger, Junko had a Cobb Salad, and we both [...]

I never really cared for Valentine’s day much. The first very memorable one is actually the one shortly after immi was born. Immi was born a day after her due date, but if she wasn’t willing, she was scheduled to be born on the February 14th (I’m happy she decided to join us on her [...]

Immi continues to amaze me with here intelligence, creativity, and dexterity.  I show her how to stack a few blocks and she build a block sky scraper! 
Before our poopy-pants  western doctors attempt to tell us that Immi is too thin or Immi does not talk early enough…perhaps they should read Immi Blog.  A two minute [...]

Immi is stacking her blocks really really high (18 blocks!!)! Immi also enjoys putting these blocks neatly back in the box.

Immi is prettifying her pony with stickers.

Me&baby-no.2 had a monthly check-up appointment today. Immi fell a sleep in the car and is still sleeping on her dad in the waiting room!

Nothing much to report here. All the test results came back normal, I gained exactly the amount of weight I’m suppose to gain (1lb a week!) and the baby’s heart beat [...]

Immi’s grandparents wanted to take us out for dinner to celebrate immi’s birthday. So here we are at The MeltingPot. We are waiting for her grandparents at the entrance.

Immi seems to enjoy eating assortment of things here. She is having broccoli with yummy dips now.

Around immi’s bedtime, our friend Jessica came over to work on [...]

Mmmmmm the first taste of Immi’s 2nd birthday cake ever!

Happy Birthday Immi!!
It’s hard for me to believe that immi is already 2! How amazing is that? She really isn’t a baby anymore. She can dress herself, knows of many songs that she loves to dance to, and recycles just like any other responsible citizen of our planet earth.
Immi used her potty yesterday! …well, sort [...]

We are celbrating immi’s birthday about 12 hours early this year (Sunday is a good day for party, don’t you think?). Here is immi digging right in to her cake by pulling the pony off and licking the whipped cream!

I didn’t bake the cake, we got it from a really cute and very tasty bakery [...]
