An inside glimpse to family madness…

Speck in her High Chair
Nov 2nd
We actually purchased Speck a high chair yesterday since she is now eating cereal twice a day and it was just time. Immense cuteness ensued.
Presenting… the Spicey Hinjew
Nov 1st
Speck’s First halloween was rather low key but I think being only 4.5 months old had something to do with it. Next yr we’ll actually go trick or treating, maybe. But this year we atleast got a costume.
A milestone moment occurred
Oct 31st
No picture to show but we did have a milestone moment today.
Mommy was holding Speck today and when Grandma Nancy held her hands out to speck, speck turned, stretched over and extended both her arms towards her Grandma Nancy to be transferred. And then of course we repeated this tremendous feat with Mommy holding her hands out and voila, SUCCESS.
It’s so exciting to watch Speck learn all these new things.
The First Solid
Oct 24th
Speck started on solids today. If you classify a tablespoon of organic rice cereal mixed with milk a solid. She swallowed and had the whole thing down like she was an old pro at it. It was amazing. More food pics to come.
OMG SHE IS JUST SO FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!!
Speck’s First Diwali
Oct 22nd
Diwali, also called Deepavali (Sanskrit: ???????) is a major Hindu festival. Known as the “Festival of Lights,” it symbolises the victory of good over evil, and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind. Celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional diyas. Fireworks are associated with the festival in many regions of India.
Speck had her first diwali on October 21st, 2006. We attempted a trip to the Hindu temple in Houston, TX with Grandma Nargis.

Speck’s 4 month well checkup
Oct 10th
Speck had her 4 month well checkup today. Doc said SPECK is growing at a very steady pace. She’s now in the 50th percentile for her height and still in the 25th percentile for her weight. Dr. Barry said she is following her growth curves very well.
Speck also got her 4 month shots. 4 huge shots, 2 in each leg, OUCH!!
Dr Barry also said that Speck is NOW officially ready to start solids. Rice cereal to start but this leads to fruits, and veggies and other exciting stuff. MOMMY will have to go pick up some spoons and bowls to eat with.
