Speck gets a new Toy (sort of)
Jan 28th
So we decided to get Speck a playyard so that we could keep from toys being all the house, and this way she would be safe if left unattended for a few moments. She loves her yard and we love her “IN” it.
Speck can now sit/stand herself up
Jan 28th
So apparently Daddy knew of this already but Speck has now been able to go from laying down to sitting up all by herself. In addition she also can go from sitting to standing with help from objects around her. For eg. her leapfrog learning table or the sides of her crib. She’s been discovered standing in her crib a number of times now. Oh Mobility here we come 
Speck has a couple of firsts
Jan 26th
Speck had her first trip to Babies R Us today. Yes, yes we know mommy has practically lived at the store since before Speck was born, but speck wasn’t ready to go. Today was the Day. We got new toys, books, and a few other things we needed.
Speck also had her first ride in her stroller today. It’s a really nice stroller but Speck looked so small in it. Pics to follow.
Speck stands in her pack and play
Jan 25th
During one of those “stay here lemme go get something from the kitchen moments” we discovered that Speck can now pull herself into a standing position with the help of the sides of her pack and play. I know she did it once in her crib but I had written that off as a fluke. Apparenty I underestimated the child. She seems anxious to be mobile. Darn it, they grow up way too fast.
Speck turns 7 Months old
Jan 11th
OMG, we just brought her home YESTERDAY, and now she’s already 7 months old. I personally think they grow up way too fast.
Speck says "Mummm, mummmm"
Jan 9th
Well, she’s done it again. Surpised us in ways we thought we couldn’t be surprised. Speck actually used the M word. Now we are pretty sure she does not associate the M word with any particular person as of yet, but hey the utterance itself is a start. We are awfully proud.
She’s going to be “mummmming” her way into her 7th month. We are so PROUD.
Although Grandma Nargis heard it earlier during a diaper change, the official recorded time of the utterance will be during dinner, while seated in her exersaucer, around 6:30.
Speck’s First time in a High Chair
Jan 1st
On New Year’s Eve Daddy, Mommy, Grandma and Lil Speck all went to TLC for dinner. As always we had Speck in her car seat which is where she likes to be during busy and noisy nights out. But tonite Speck had other plans. We finally made the decision to have her sit in a High Chair. Mommy, of course wipped the one the kind waitress brought for us down and sat Speck in it. Speck thoroughly enjoyed her new found freedom and VIEW of the world. She shrieked in excitement and joy and even posed for pics.
