Samarah turns 100!

By Abbas -

The days are flying by.. so much so that we almost missed Samarah turning 100 days old! She passed that milestone on June 30th, and we didn't realize it until the day was nearly over.. so alas, no picture of our little cutie on her big day. 

In our defense, we've been pretty active and Samarah has been learning new tricks almost every day, such as:
  • Giggling fits! If you get her in the right mood, she can't stop laughing.. it really is the sweetest thing, and hearing her laughter cracks us up, which in turn makes Samarah laugh even more.
  • Sitting up.. well, not quite on her own, but she can sit quite comfortably in her Bumbo chair (thanks Safiyya).
  • Surfing on her tummy time board. We've been doing tummy time with her for a while now, but she hasn't had a lot of staying power until recently. As you'll see in the photos, she's gotten quite comfortable on her tummy.
  • Soothing herself with her hands. She's been doing this for a while, but it's been very consistent lately. You'll probably notice her hands in or near her mouth in almost all the pictures from this week.
  • Getting her ears pierced - ok, so maybe not really a trick, but noteworthy. I'll post some pictures from the event in my next post.
If you thought that there weren't enough pictures of Samarah in the last set of photos, I think this week's photos will make up for it. Enjoy!

Mom & Baby Samarah are doing well.. we're all looking forward to going home later this week and starting a new chapter in our lives as a family. Samarah sends her love to all her friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas. More pictures to follow.

Fast forward...

Ok, so I feel like I'm cheating a little bit here by posting six months worth of pictures at once, but this is the only way I have a remote chance of catching up. As you can see from the pictures, the Rizvi family definitely had a busy few months.. between birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, and family outings, we kept a full social calendar. Also, as you can tell from the picture above, Samarah and Syra are really starting to play well together. Ok, maybe 'well' isn't the right word, but they do have their moments. Syra definitely has a more forceful personality, which effectively neutralizes the size advantage Samarah has. I'm sure the fighting will only escalate as they get older. Stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures from Jan-June, 2011!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

It's been a busy couple of months in the Rizvi household. Don't believe me? Well, here are a few highlights from August and the first week of September: Plenty of post-move issues (dealing with the builder, trying to get a Rogers tech to actually show up on time, unpacking the remaining boxes, etc.). All in all, fairly typical for moving into a new home, but having both girls home full-time added a bit of extra challenge. Two weekends with out-of-town visitors . We had a ton of fun with our guests - especially with Baby Tess meeting Samarah and Syra (just check the pictures). Having to deal with our refrigerator breaking down after 6 weeks. Let me tell you, that is one appliance you cannot do without. It was an interesting week to say the least, but we did get to live like Europeans and buy fresh groceries every day. An out-of-town wedding (congrats Julia and Shane!) Kicking the afternoon nap.. and I know what some of you are thinking, but no, it wasn't me trying to for...
