Sara at Seven Months and Scads of Shoes

Well, I finally got an acceptable picture of Sara at 7 months old. She is much too busy to allow me to get a good picture of her, but I think this does the job. I put the pinkness behind her because I had to show how much her hair has grown lately.
Okay, I think that maybe this picture with me shows better how much her hair has grown. Yep, she has the paintbrush ponytail!
Little Miss Sara has really started to talk a lot lately. This picture of her shows her saying "Hiya" to Laura. She says quite a few things now: Dada, Lala, Mom, Hi, Hiya, Hat, Hit and will put Hi with any of our names for a phrase like "Hi Dada".
Sara is also beautifully affectionate. She loves to give kisses (very wet, open mouthed kisses) and will grab my face and pull it towards her for a kiss. That is how I get greeted most mornings; she'll say hiya and then grab my face and pull it down in the crib to give me a kiss. She snuggles in as well many times when I or Jason are holding her. It is heaven to get little Sara snuggles. Look at these yummy smooches.
One of my most favorite things now is to watch her eyes dance as she learns and laughs. They seem to be learning almost all the time. Check out these peepers.
Finally, poor Sara is always in shoes. I seem to have a problem and just keep buying baby shoes for her. I recognize that it is ridiculous because she can't even crawl yet, let alone walk. Alas, when I pass them in the store they are so cute that I just can't help myself. I purchased all of these adorable things (except for the green pair from my Sis-in-law, Mel) and usually have to stop myself from buying more when I go to the store.
