well, apparently Imogen doesn’t share her mama’s love for avocado.  this food choice DID NOT go as well as I was hoping.  even though avocado has so much goodness to it, fatty good fats, vitamin e, antioxidants, folate…the list goes on…immi didn’t see the appeal.  i mean, there are reasons i am going to continue to gently “nudge” her towards avodcado…really, who doesn’t love that buttery creamy goodness…nom nom nom!!  and she calls herself a california girl?!?!?!  pishaw!!!!! the one good thing that came out of feeding her avocado are the amazing faces she made.  finally, for those non-believers, some non-smiley immi action.

that is one bad-ass baby rocker face…she’s the shiznit, and she KNOWS it.  hahaha. 

adam has been threatening to buy immi a drum set pretty much since the day he found out i was pregnant – i think mostly becuase HEñ wants to play on them {greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat}…  which in our little condo was BOUND to be lots of fun… SO when I saw these “quiet” drums on a blog, i had to JUMP and beat him to the punch.  I am IN LOVE with them, but seeing Adam (ok, well HEARING adam) have so much fun playing with them and immi, makes me love them even more.  they are definitly “quieter” – but not necessarily what i’d call “quiet”.  as you can see…Imbot is already ready to ROCK!

well…we had our weight-check appointment this week, and wee Immi is gaining weight, but still not quite as fast as doc would like.  nothing to worry about, but they want to keep an eye on her to make sure her development stays on track. right now, developmentally she is great and right where she should be, if not a little advanced…however, she did suggest we start immi on food to get in a few more calories. [oh boy]… i was kind of dreading hearing this, for a couple reasons.  One, becuase i’m not really ready for her to be old enough to eat PEOPLE food, and two, becuase i knew i’d have to have the grain talk… typically the “recommended” first food is rice cereal…and as most of you know, we are a grain-free house.  (i’m not going to preach to you about it…it’s just our preference)…you have no idea how relieved i was that the doc is totally supportive of our food beliefs and said it was definitly ok to start her on something that we would eat: sweet potatoes, squash, avocado, banana.  she just wants us to introduce one at a time in case she reacts to something.

coincidentally, right after we got back from the Dr. office, a friend sent a hilarious little video, First Taste…so of course i needed to do my own version…and since i’m a gif-a-holic…i went the gif route.  

it’ll be fun if i can keep up with all her firsts…we’ll see.

I love the face below…it’s like she’s saying “uh, yah right faith…you know i’m their favorite…”

just some good smiley goobs.

this is the famous im-bot smeyes (ANTM/Tyra banks phrase for smiling with your eyes)…
