We stuck to the small $1 hot dogs, but look at this $26 "Boomstick" hot dog that they sell at the Ranger's ball park. Yes, it's the length of a bat! That could feed an entire family, but I'm not going to try.

Ball Park Hot Dog
We enjoyed another fun Ranger's baseball game last week. (I think this has been my favorite thing about living in Dallas) This was the first time to take SK since she could walk so I was a little nervous that she wouldn't stay in our seats. With lots of toys and snacks in tow she did pretty good and had so much fun clapping along with the music. She made friends with everyone sitting in our section and had her first ball park hot dog! Savannah Kate is going to love baseball. She gets excited when we're watching the Rangers on TV and will carry around one of Hunter's baseballs and throw it to us. Through this we have learned that she is right handed like her momma. Sorry Hunter, maybe the next one will be a lefty like you :)

Height: 30 1/4 inches (10th percentile)
Diapers: Size 4
Clothes: 12-18 months
Sleep: 11-12 hours at night with at least 1 nap during the day

Dislikes: being put in timeout (it's only for one minute, but seems like forever to her), chicken and having to stay inside the shopping cart in the grocery store

Surprise face!
See what I mean about not staying in the cart - this is usually how we shop now

SK's favorite place to play in the backyard
Found her napping on the couch with baby doll while I was making dinner one night - exactly why she still needs LONG afternoon naps

Easter 2012
Savannah Kate loved Easter this year. She carried her basket around all day, even when it was time to go to bed. She seemed to understand to pick up the eggs and put them in her basket without us having to tell her what to do and she hasn't been to an egg hunt yet. Hopefully we can make it to one next year. I'm so blessed to have shared this Easter with my beautiful family while celebrating our risen Savior, Jesus Christ!
Elmo eggs!
Window kisses from daddy
Wanted to wear her bunny ears to bed!

17 Months
Weight: 20 pounds 2 ounces
Height: 29 1/2 inches
Diapers: Size 4
Clothes: 12-18 months
Sleep: 11-12 hours at night with at least 1 nap during the day
Current loves: car keys, being outside and Elmo. Whenever she sees Elmo's face on anything she starts jumping up and down, so cute!
Dislikes: napping (major sleep strike the last few weeks, but more teeth are coming in so maybe we'll get back to normal soon), when I take the iphone away from her and coming in from outside, even if we have been out there for hours.
It's amazing seeing how quickly Savannah Kate learns new words now and tries to repeat everything you say. Words that she can say now are: dada, momma, pawpaw, Belle, cracker, quack quack, bath, hi, bye, baby, buckle and no. We have to be careful when we say bath because when she hears "bath" she starts saying it over and over and runs to the bathroom and tries to take off her clothes. Have I ever mentioned how much she loves taking baths? She loves it! It's her favorite thing to do all day and she will get upset if you don't put her in once she hears the word bath.
Speaking of taking her clothes off, I caught her trying to take her diaper off the other day! Hopefully that never happens. She has gotten much better at helping me get her dressed and she tries so hard to put her socks and shoes on by herself. This girl loves her shoes :)

Elmo is her first crush!
This is the only drawer in the kitchen that's not locked so she has a lot of fun with it :)

16 Months
Weight: 19 pounds 14 ounces
Height: 29 1/2 inches
Diapers: Size 4
Clothes: 12 months
Sleep: 11-12 hours at night with 1-2 naps during the day. Somedays she takes two long naps and somedays she only takes one 30 minute nap.
Current loves: putting one of her coats on, opening any drawer or door she can find and pretending like she is asleep when she is supposed to be napping
Dislikes: eating (she's on a major food strike right now), not getting to go outside (mainly because its cold) and not being held in the morning - she really tries to demand being held for the first hour she is awake. Never fails - everyday.
Biggest news is that Savannah Kate is offically walking! She thinks it's hilarious every time she takes some steps. She still crawls around most of the time, then will stop and suddenly take a few steps, laugh out loud and then return to crawling :)
We have been through a tough time this last month while trying to heal from our miscarriage. But even through our pain, God gave us a beautiful blessing of seeing our daughter walk for the first time. She has been our ray of sunshine and once again God's timing was perfect.

Couldn't get a good 16 month picture and she refused to put down her makeup brush
Loves watching PBS on the iPad
Who cares if it's cold - we are happy to be playing outside!

My Valentine's
Valentine's Day 2012 with my two loves
Such a good helper while opening my gift - really she just wanted to tear the paper
Romantic candlelight dinners are a little different now, but I still love it

Bookmark
Last week as I was reading Jesus Calling, I was thinking to myself "It would be nice if this book had a bookmark". Since it is a daily reading a bookmark is a must have! Plus, I just really like bookmarks. They make me feel like I'm organized - although I'm so far from having anything else in my life organized these days.
I start fumbling through the book and much to my surprise I find an attached bookmark! It had been folded up towards the back of the book so it took some searching to find it. I pull it open to the marked page the folded bookmark was on and I suddenly froze when I saw this...
August. Of all the places this bookmark could have been, it was marked on August. Why was it marked here? It wasn't the halfway point of the book. I knew my friend didn't mark it there on purpose because I hadn't told anyone yet about naming the baby.
What I love about this book is that each day is written as if Jesus was speaking directly to us. He gives me words of encouragement, comfort and hope all from the scriptures. On this day, He was definitely speaking to me. It was no coincidence that the bookmark was marked on this page. Jesus was calling to me, telling me that August was safe in His arms and reminding me to believe in Him. To trust in Him. And for the first time in a what seems like forever, I smiled.
I knew that August wanted me to be okay. Jesus does speak to us, even when we are hurting - we just have to listen. Step away from the pain and listen.
Thank you Lord for speaking to me. Help me to be aware of the ways you are calling me.
Jeremiah 33:3
