We met Grandpa Dan and Aunt Trish for lunch at Madras Pavilion.

The highs and lows of a single meal… amazing isn’t it.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!

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.

Our little Princess Ariel turns 4 months old on October 10th 2006. WOW how time flies
