Playdates, brunches and solids, oh my!

Hello again faithful readers. Sorry to have kept you waiting for almost two weeks for new pictures! Samarah has had a busy few weeks with teething, crawling and standing seasons in full swing, not to mention a full social calendar. Unfortunately, I haven't been as diligent lately about bringing the camera along on our outings or taking pictures at home, so this latest set of pictures is fairly light.
On another note, it turns out that between the California trip and Samarah's teething, the poor girl's schedule has become a complete mess. Before the trip, she was sleeping consistently for 10-12 hour stretches at night, which really spoiled Kaniz and I. Then, for the entire month of November, Samarah was up every 2-4 hours at night! To top things off, Samarah also got her first cold and even a bit of laryngitis.
But before you start worrying, don't fret! Our little princess has recovered fully - she's over her cold, her voice sounds as sweet as ever and even her sleep schedule is getting back to normal. She is putting everything she gets her hands on in her mouth, but that's pretty normal for teething infants - and I figure the extra doses of germs is good for her immune system. She's got a great appetite and is eating well (thanks to mommy's cooking) - at last check two weeks ago, Samarah's weighing in at 18.5 lbs, which puts her slightly above 50th percentile.
