monday

It’s my birthday today. The BIG one in which I turn 30! When Todd asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I said “go yarn shopping in Alexandria!” (there is a cute little yarn shop called Knit Happens which I’ve never been to). Unfortunately, they are CLOSED on mondays! …so I picked [...]

sunday

I’m making breakfast in the kitchen and immi is already making a mess with play-doh with Auntie Junko. She plays with play-doh  several times a day these days.

Auntie Junko took us out to Melting Pot for fondue for my birthday (which is tomorrow!). She had been wanting fondue since she missed it for immi’s birthday [...]

pony and jeep

Immi put some shoes and a shirt on her pony. Then immi took her to the mirror so that the pony can see her reflection. …Apparently she was being dressed up because she is going out in the big blue jeep!

mess

We don’t have a table nearly big enough for immi to make a creative mess on, so here she is on the floor with all of her doodle supplies.

She pulled off all the foam alphabet puzzles and punched out the letters. Now she is playing in the massive mess she made!

apron

We just got this craft apron for $1 at Michaels. Immi seems to enjoy wearing it. It’ll come in handy when we play with paints and glitter sticks!

misc.

Immi has been saying more words. Some of her new words are “gummi!” (she likes peach flavored pink ones), “hot!!” (she tells me so if the food is sizzling or otherwise steamy, and if the water from the faucet is a bit hot), “shoes” and “hat”.
Immi wants salt sprinkled on everything. The rule is that [...]

sunday

We got this big pony immi wanted a while back because it was on sale! Immi of course loves her and she rides around everywhere.

Immi and her daddy are playing Galaga. Todd finally had a chance to get the Nintendo (NES!!) setup and working. Immi has a controller too but I didn’t plug that one [...]

friday

Immi is scooping rice crackers in and out of the container.

Immi discovered the canopy I put up a few weeks ago in her room (…which is still not really done!).

It makes her hair really staticky.

We got the canopy for $5 and I decorated it a bit, it looks like this on top.

It’s finally friday evening [...]

crayons

Immi loves doodling (her favorite medium is a note pad and a ballpoint pen!). But all she wants to do with a regular crayon is to 1) peel the paper wrapper off and 2) break it in half. …So only crayons she has been allowed to play with at home is the ones in plastic [...]

pony tea party

Immi is playing with her tiny ponies.

She is setting up for a tea party!

…and pouring tiny cup of tea from a tiny teapot!

We got this series of toys about half a year ago since none of her age appropriate toys seemed to be challenging her fine motor skills (she was able to pick up lint [...]

no. 2 update

Aside from the usual Monday fun, we also had an appointment with our OB. He talked to us again about the sonogram result and basically reassured us that there’s really no need for worry. We are to make another sonogram appointment in about 2 months to be sure that markers have gone away the way [...]

Immi is playing with her assortment of stuff in her makeup bag (we got some $1 ones after I gave up trying to keep immi out of mine!). I’m going to wash the empty containers so that it will be mess-free pretend play next time…in the meanwhile it’s turning out to be very pink!

We finally [...]

treats

Todd had a craving for ice cream (he is having more pregnancy symptoms than me!) and we came to a bizarre realization that we don’t know of any ice cream place in or near Reston! After few minutes of googling, I discovered 3 places all located in the Reston Town Center. I picked Iceberry for [...]

misc.

Immi loves driving the RC car! But we didn’t stay outside long enough for her to figure out how to make it turn because it was so cold out.

The strangest thing immi wanted to do lately was to bundle up pairs of her socks. When the laundry comes out of the dryer, I match my [...]

snow day

We woke up to a few inches of snow this morning!

Now that Immi found out for herself that it’s really cold out, we are hoping she’d keep her mittens on.

…but she took them off immediately!
