Syntax error: parse error

I am continiusly getting a syntax error:parse error and cannot understand why. Everything seems to look fine as far as syntax is concerned.

Any help?

object.js 
var contact = {
  fullName: function() {
    firstName: "Andrew",
    lastName: "Chalkley";
    console.log(firstName + " " + lastName);
  }
}

var contact = { firstName: "Andrew", lastName: "Chalkley", fullName: function () { console.log(firstName + " " + lastName); } }
