immi says…

I haven’t metioned immi’s linguistic developement much partly because there’s really no photo that would go with it, and other part because it’s been much the same for a long time. Shes been saying a whole lot of words, mostly just important ones — ice cream, pickles, tea, popcorn, rice, cookie, balloon — but not [...]

thursday

Today is the last day Todd’s away (he is coming back sometime past midnight) and we are having pajama day:)
This is the amount of stuff immi carried from the living room to her room (the two purses have both been stuffed with all the little items prior to the departure) just to get her diaper [...]

immi says…

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 [...]

misc.

Immi said “chip!!!” yesterday — she wanted some tortilla chips. I guess she is going to say all variety of food names before much of anything else. (apple, cheese, cracker, banana, ice …she tried to say yogurt the other day, but it came out sounding more like “gurgurt”)
Today she came to me and said “cheese!!!” [...]

immi says…

…”quack quack” when she was playing with her duck in the bath tub.
And then she pointed at the photo of herself at the beach and said “me!!”
And then when her dad was having crostini and hummus, she did the ‘want’ gesture and said “CRACKER!”. I thought it funny that she knows the word cracker (even [...]

immi says…

“I like!!!”
…while pointing at Hello Kitty on my PJ. I’m glad she likes Hello Kitty since she has accumulated some HK things. And Todd and I joked a long time ago that the first thing she’d say would be “I hate Hello Kitty!”.
She has also been saying “up! up!!” every time she takes a step [...]

immi says…

“What are you doing??”
…to her dad when he was cleaning his desk with  Mrs. Meyers (I’ve been Mrs. Meyers fan for many many years now!).
I guess immi is going to spill her speaking skills one sentence at a time. It’s really funny when she talks in English: it sounds very intelligible and her intonation is [...]

We are at Immi’s grandparents’ for dinner. They got a little Hello Kitty house for viisiting immi to play in! Immi likes to bring in her toys and get comfy on pillows.

Immi said “Hi kitty!” to Mr. Seagal today. She also has a new word that she uses regulary now and it’s “this”. …as [...]

tuesday

Immi is sweeping!

…and then making a big mess.

Immi’s grandmom and I made popcorn balls (it’s a halloween tradition, todd got one every year growing up) while Immi and her dad cleaned the kitty litter box and vacuumed back at home (I definitely got the better end of the deal don’t you think?). We’ve finished making [...]

immi says…

Immi was sitting next to her dad this morning. She looked up at him and said:
“You are my dad!”
…well yes he is! Immi saying this phrase is more intriguing to me than when she said “Hmmm. It’s so yummy” since I might have said something like that many times (either because I was eating something [...]

immi says…

I was brushing up stuff (mostly immi crunchies that she dropped, some dust bunnies, few tufts of kitty fur) off the floor into the dustpan when I saw,  in the corner of my eyes, Immi grab a cookie off the table. It crossed my mind to stop her from eating it, as it was before [...]

home

We got back home this afternoon. Immi seems happy to be home. She is out on the patio with her dad watering and misting plants. Immi is picking off catnip and feeding her kitties.

Immi says a new word: “wroof”. She says it when she hears dogs barking.

bye!

Today was the last day at the beach — the week went by so fast! Immi’s grandparents, immi and I spent a lot of time by the ocean today. Immi is no longer scared of the waves. She had so much fun walking into the water and then running away from the incoming waves (I [...]

night time

It’s getting late but Immi is still up for more fun. She is doing stickers and crayons at the moment.

Immi is doing very well away from home even though she seems to miss her kitties a lot. She says “meow? meow??” and looks around everywhere for them several times a day.
Immi’s linguistic comprehension level seems [...]

sunday

When Immi wants to go outside, she brings me my shoes for me to wear, then her own shoes for herself. Today, Immi brought her dad his shoes! So here we are outside in the parking lot with rc car.

Immi is walking with the car. Todd encouraged her to help the car move by pushing [...]

saturday

Immi is doodling in her little travel notebook with her daddy at Starbucks.

Immi still doesn’t say many words but she seems to understand a whole lot of what we are saying. I know for sure that there are many words she understands because when I say “Where is your chair/notebook/book/kitty…” She can find the correct [...]
