2008-03-15T10:44:00.000-07:00

Speck wishes her Cousin Ian a very Happy 2nd Birthday. Sorry we couldn't make it but we're thinking of you :)

Speck uses Phrases

2008-03-15T09:38:00.000-07:00

Most recently it's been complete answers to questions I ask:

Me - Where does DaDa go ? Speck - DaDa go Office (sounds like Ophice)
Me - would u like (insert the name of something here) Speck - Yesh Pease
Me - Ask nicely. Speck - Peeeeeeease OR Yessssss Peeeeeas

Speck is determined ( or stubborn ? )

2008-03-15T03:25:00.000-07:00

Speck's newest deal is struggling to put on her pants, shorts, pajamas (all bottoms). It's hilarious to watch and of course the frustration level is high when we end up with both legs in the same place. She's definitely determined to get it right and of course refuses any help. Infact tonight while i was getting her ready for bed, she actually pushed me away as I offered to help. Video to follow......

Speck's a big girl now

2008-03-12T19:25:00.000-07:00

I'm a big girl now :)

Happy Birthday Nana

2008-03-07T23:36:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to my Dearest NANA!!! Thank you so much for loving me and taking care of me everyday. YOU ROCK!!!

WOW

2008-03-02T23:27:00.000-08:00

Isn't her hair LONG!!!

Speck has a unique way of eating crackers

2008-03-01T10:57:00.000-08:00

So she licks all the cheese on the inside and then gives the outer crackers to the dogs. Told you this kid was weird....

Speck's new words (MORE)

2008-02-29T22:28:00.000-08:00

Speck has been chatting it up for a while now but what's most interesting is that now she's started putting 2 words together.
For eg:

Nana Peep peep (her nana's car)
Dada Buh bye
Mama Night Night
More please
thank you ( that's technically one word but she says Taa Tee) (it's so adorable)
More Ice
More Aveeya (more junk food)
More Bice (more rice)
Doe Doe NO (her way of telling Tweeter NO!)
Yessss Peeeeeeas

She also asks the dogs if they want more food.

Doe Doe Mum mum ??
Paypa Mum Mum ??
Meow Mum Mum ??

She also calls herself "Peck" (good P and K pronunciation)
(obviously peck is short for Speck)

She is breathtaking.

Speck has chocolate face

2008-02-27T22:59:00.000-08:00

Do I need to say more ???

Speck goes to the ZOO (first trip)

2008-02-23T23:13:00.000-08:00

While cousin Lauren and Zak were visiting we all went to Zoo. This was Speck's first time to the Houston Zoo, actually any zoo for that matter. She enjoyed the Elephant (which her favorite animal), monkeys, giraffes, and the petting zoo. Being her first time she was a little apprehensive but cousin Zak made her very comfortable. She even got to ride the carousel for the first time with none other than Zak. After the zoo, we went shopping at zoo souvenir shop.

Zak, Mommy, Lauren, Nana, Uncle Drew, Daddy and Speck.

Zak took Speck on her first carousel ride.

Speck reads with Uncle Drew

2008-02-21T23:37:00.000-08:00

She's not even 2 but she's got a very special connection with her Uncle Drew. He's protective, caring, loving, attentive, playful and when he's with her he acts her age. For a 20 month old, that is the perfect person.

Speck and the family apply for passports

2008-02-15T22:55:00.000-08:00

Speck is not even two yet and is already starting the process of becoming a world traveler. Step 1 - Get passport. Big day for us all.
Daddy does some last minute outfit checks to make sure everything is in order before we take pics. The process itself was long and dirty, but it had to get done. No passports no world travel.

Speck loves her luxurious baths

2008-02-15T21:59:00.000-08:00

I have to admit she spends alot of time in the bathtub. She loves to play in the water. ANd who wouldn't want to spend all day in the bathtub if it meant playing with a million bath toys.

Speck enjoys a new park with MJ and Zach

2008-02-14T22:43:00.000-08:00

Speck and mommy met Chantal, MJ and Zachary at a park nearby for Valentine's Day. The kids had so much fun as you can tell. And Speck and MJ both made a new friend.

Speck and MJ stare back at the camera with the "why does that thing keep flashing in our face" look.

Welcome to the world Zachary Grayson Wojcik

2008-01-30T23:59:00.000-08:00

Zachary Grayson Wojcik was born January 30th 2008 at 11:40pm in Houston TX. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 10 oz and was 21 inches long. We congratulate our friends Michael, Chantal and Big Brother MJ. Chantal and Zachary are doing great. He's an absolutely beautiful baby.

Speck feeds herself

2008-01-30T23:00:00.000-08:00

It was a brand new yogurt and she fed herself from start to finish!!! Mommy is so proud.

Speck's new words (so far)

2008-01-30T22:30:00.000-08:00

Speck's vocabulary has been growing rapidly for the past few months. It's amazing to watch her learn and repeat words that we just take for granted.

She calls Pepper - Pa pa
Tweeter has been named - Doe Doe
She still uses sounds for a number of other animals:
Dog - arf arf
Cat - meow (both our cats are called that)
Horse - Neigh
Sheep - Baa Baa
Cow - it used to me Mmmmm now it's Moooo
Lion - Argh (sounds more like the clearing of her throat)
Tiger - same as above
Juice - Jews (i swear that's what it sounds like)
This and that - these days everything is This or that. (it's all those options we give her I guess)
Snack (any kind) - Aveeya. ( I have no idea where she got this from)
Elmo - Sounds like Um Ma
Greeting - HIYA
Night night - sounds like Nigh Nigh
See ya - Eee Ya
Her friend MJ is - Emm
At first she started calling all babies/toddlers - Ta Ta but has since graduated to calling them all Bee Bee.
Yogurt - Ta Ta and now Bee Bee (her yogurt has a pic of a baby on there, i am guessing that is where she got it from)
Shoes - Ties (that's what it sounds like. This is one of the first words she made up on her own and it's stuck with her. Yes people she calls her shoes TIES. don't ask)
Socks are called - Tox (that's what it sounds like)
Button - Butt
Trees and leaves are all - Tea
Thank you - Taa Tea
Please - Peeeeeease (we've taught her to drag it out for obvious reasons)

Body Parts- Speck has been learning body parts for a while now:
Head - Head
Hair - Hay
Toes (does quite say the word)
Nose - Noe
Knees - Nee
Eyes - Eyezz
Eyebrow - eyebow
Ears - EeeAhh
Cheek - no word for it yet, but she knows where it is
Chin - Cheeee
Hands - no word for it yet
Rice for some reason has turned into - Bice
Ice - Ice (come on that's pretty simple)
Water - Waa Waa
Nuggets - Nugg nugg

2007-12-26T23:05:00.000-08:00

The beautiful angel just loves her elephant. She got it for Hannukah/Christmas. Thanks mom mom :)

Just a beautiful shot

2007-12-16T20:52:00.000-08:00

I just loved this picture so much. We went to see santa at the neighborhood clubhouse, alas we got no pictures of him. (pssst..... i think speck is frightened of the big red jolly fellow, but don't tell anyone)

18 months old

2007-12-10T19:56:00.000-08:00

On Dec 10th 2007, Speck turned 18 months old. She's gone from a little baby into an energetic little Toddler. I call her my little person. She's turned our lives upside down and inside out and it's all in the best way possible. Her laughter, whining (yes she does that from time to time), smiles, frowns, giggles, sulks, and all other expressions make my heart melt. She takes my breath away. Could she be any cuter ?!?!?!

Below is the drama that ensued at the Dr. Barry's office at her 18 months check up which happened to be on her 18 month Birthday. Just to be clear this picture was captured before the doctor showed up. We started off the visit in this fashion. I hope all future trips are not this dramatic coz at the end of the day the Doc/Nurses/Office Staff can and will only take so much before they politely ask you to leave and never come back. Health wise speck is doing great. She's in the 20th %tile for her weight and 50th %tile for her height (go figure). All in all we get a thumbs up for effort. And then come the obligatory immunizations. OH!! THE HORROR!!! (I can relate though, mommy hates needles too)

Happy Holidays to all

2007-12-07T09:25:00.000-08:00

Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas, and a Happy Holiday Season from our family to yours :)

Sleeping beauty

2007-10-23T10:07:00.000-07:00

Sleeping Beauty's got a big old butt.

I caught Speck in sweet slumber this morning. She was very cold, coz she woke up with blue lips but this pose was just so adorable. Yes, I did cover her up once the picture was taken.

Speck is an Indian Princess

2007-10-13T21:55:00.000-07:00

Speck was invited to her buddy, Kai's birthday Party at Gymboree on Saturday October 13th. Kai was the chinese emporer and everyone was invited in their costumes. Speck went as an Indian Princess (of course).

Speck's outfit was sent from India by Grandma Nisha (Grandma Nargis's Sister). (i guess since grandma Nisha is Grandma Nargis's sister she kinda gets the grandma title too.)

Teething Update

2007-09-16T23:36:00.000-07:00

Speck now has a total of 8 visible teeth (upper and lower central incisors, upper lateral incisors and upper first molars) with 2 more on the way (lower lateral incisors).

Of late her favorite foods are Croutons (garlic flavored YUMMY!!), Cheetos of course, Goldfish, Pretzels... you get the idea. She loves anything she can gnaw on. And of course as expected she loves sharing her food with Pepper and Tweeter.

Speck's first piece of ART

2007-09-15T23:34:00.000-07:00

Speck draws her first piece of ART. This is the first time she ever used anything that resembled a pen. I thought she did pretty well, but my opinion is biased of course. HEHE!!!

Speck turns 15 months old

2007-09-15T22:38:00.000-07:00

Oh my how time flies. We are still in awe of Speck. Watching her take in the world around her has been one of the most facinating things I have ever seen. She is such a loving child, and she's also very vocal. She's got tons of distinguishable new sounds already and she is doing very well at communicating with all of us. I am sure there are tons of kids who are very advanced, but I have only heard or read of them. I get to watch Speck learn things day in and day out.

We went to see Doc Barry today for Speck's 15 month checkup and got some good results. Speck is in the 15th percentile for her weight and the 65th percentile for her height. So far it's looking like skinny girl with a slighty above average height, but time will tell if this is true. She's hitting all her milestones, and Doc Barry is very happy with her progress.

YAY!!! Speck!!!

Speck eats Puris with Nana & Uncle Drew

2007-09-09T23:10:00.000-07:00

Speck went over to her Nana's house to eat Aloo Puri* today. Nana even made some miniature puris* especially for Speck. We were quite impressed that she enjoyed them thoroughly.

Eating Puris in my Nana's kitchen.

A puri or poori is a South Asian unleavened bread primarily found in Northern India made from a dough of atta (whole grain durum wheat flour), water and salt by rolling it out into discs of approximately the size of palm and deep frying it in ghee or vegetable oil. Traditionally served in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, also being served in......more here.

Well it's been a while since anything major has happened for Speck. I mean you know a tooth here and step there but yesterday was BIG!!! She finally looked right at her Daddy and said DADA!!! I think she will use that word more permanently now. We were all very excited since that's been a word I have been waiting for her to say from practically the day she was born :)

Speck does Laps

2007-07-27T22:00:00.000-07:00

She loves doing laps around the sofa. Of course there's some element of ADD involved in the laps. And you know that for every action there is an equal distraction.

Speck's 2nd day of walking

2007-07-10T22:00:00.000-07:00

She started walking on July 9th 2007. I guess that was the day she decided it was okie to let go of the furniture :P This video was taken on July 10th 2007. All this new found freedom of course comes at a price. She walks and can now get to a number more things than she could before. Where's that child harness....... Oh yeah and ignore the annoying music and horrid narration by the mother please.

Speck WALKS!!!!

2007-07-09T19:54:00.000-07:00

Speck started taking a few small steps here and there around her 1st birthday (a few before and a few more after), but several more steps were attempted from then till now. About a week ago she started taking a few more steps and before we knew it she was moving around. Till yesterday she had taken a max of 8 steps here and there... But today we began exploring the possiblity of walking from one end of the room to another and we were successfull. She's been moving around uncoaxed and with alot of confidence. We are so proud of her. She turns 13 months old tomorrow and viola she is officially a toddling little toddler. We were able to get more video, which we will put up soon.

Speck's 1yr checkup

2007-06-11T22:09:00.000-07:00

Speck had her 1yr Doc's visit on June 11th 2007. Doc said speck is growing steadily. She looks good for a 1yr old. She's in the 25th percentile for her weight and in the 75th percentile for her height (how did that happen?!?!). She still not 20lbs yet so we're still riding in the rear facing car seat. ARGH!! but it'll happen soon enough. We're patient. She's a petite baby. hehe Not for long with our genes.

Speck's 1st Birthday Party

2007-06-10T23:52:00.000-07:00

On June 10th, 2007 we celebrated Speck's 1st birthday with a big bang. We had a number of friends and family come over and celebrate this very special day with us. Speck had a blast of course, we thank everyone for coming.

Speck's Grandpa Subhash called from India. Speck's Grandaunt Neerja, Granduncle Kamal & Uncle Nikhil called from Chandigarh, India, to wish her on her birthday. Speck's Grandaunt Nisha, Uncle Anees & soon to be Aunt Nauras called from Pune, India. Speck's Aunt Louise & Uncle Steven & Cousins, Max, Jeremy & Ian all called to sing Happy Birthday to Speck on this very Special day also.

Speck turns 1 yr old ?!?!?!?!?! WHA??

2007-06-10T23:18:00.000-07:00

Say it ain't so! Speck has officially turned a year old. WOW!!! It's so hard to believe that an entire YEAR has gone by already. It was just yesterday that we were at the hospital and then boom the doc said congratulations you have an adorable little daughter.

Thank you Speck for coming into our lives & bringing all the wonderful happiness with you. I (as the mommy) have been lucky enough to watch every little change and experience and it's been so amazing and phenomenal. We look forward to many more years of amazing things yet to come.

So the pool is finally clean (Thank You Daddy for all your hard work) and of course the first thing we did was put Speck in it. She was a little apprehensive about it yesterday, but today she was a Champ, of course we have to thank Daddy and his powers of persuasion. She loved it. She played with her duckies and Uncle Dhruv was right there all the way. We'll be taking alot more pics by the pool, as Speck has always been a fan of the water.

~We must have done something good~

It's been the most exciting, wonderful, and blessed 11 months of my life. Ever since Speck came into this world (11 months ago) she has brought love and happiness to our home. The days seem brighter and our hearts feel warm. She is more than what I could have hoped for in a child, and she's only 11 months old. She has completed me in ways I didn't know were incomplete. She is filled with smiles, kisses and so much more. Alright, I know I am being sappy, but as I sit here and look back to the time I found out we were having our little Speck, life hasn't been the same. I realize more and more everyday how truely blessed I am to have this beautiful family. God bless my little Speck and I hope she continues to spread happiness whever she goes. For she is truly loved by all.

Our Beautiful Angel.

We had a bunch of firsts today. We tried some plain yogurt mixed with chunky vegetable beef pilaf today. It was so wonderful to see her gobble it up. Also we tried some KIWI flavored sugarfree JELLO!!! Man pretty soon she'll be eating off a plate and feeding herself and taking muh food. The girl is growing up fast.

I believe Speck has something to say. A day before she's 10 months old and she's already giving mommy a lecture.

Lauren, Brenda and Mitch all came to spend a long weekend with the Houston Cohens. This was the first time that Lauren met Speck and of course Speck took to her beautiful cousin Lauren immediately. It was a wonderful visit, which ended all too quickly. I guess time does fly when you are having fun.
Pics of this memorable trip are HERE and HERE

Speck's 9 month checkup

Well apparently we are not too bad at this parenting thing. I thought for sure we'd have broken the kid by now.
Doc says we're doing a pretty descent job. Of course, we wouldn't have been able to get this far without the help and loving care of Nana (mommy's mommy). She has been growing at a very steady rate and Dr. Barry is very happy with her progress. She's a little small for a 9 month old, IN HER NANA'S OPINION, but i think she's a perfect little bundle of joy! She's in the 25th percentile for her weight, and in the 50th percentile for her height.

" 17lbs and 27 inches" (nana says she's too "light")

Welcome Sarah Emma Cohen
