We've had a pretty good week.  Kennedy continues to get better and better at holding her head up.  She'll hold it straight up for a couple of seconds before it just gets too heavy for her.  One night this week Kennedy even made it a full seven hours without waking up.  Rachel was pretty excited.  Although, on Friday and Saturday night, Kennedy couldn't seem to get settled and was stirring for the most of the night.  We have also discovered the beauty of white noise.  Sometimes when she's fussin, but she recently fed and has a clean diaper, she's just tired and get herself worked up.  We can run the blow dryer and it'll calm her down enough that she'll go to sleep.  The vacuum cleaner also does the trick.  One time we even started to hum and she calmed herself down.

On Saturday morning, we all went to a 5k in Coppell.  It was organized by one of Rachel's friends, who also happens to be the office manager at Kennedy's pediatrician.  We didn't run in the event, but we were ready to spent a little time away from the house.  Rachel will see the doctor on Wednesday and should be cleared to start doing some running again.  Rachel has signed us up for the White Rock Half-Marathon in December.  We figure that we're committed now and it will be harder to justify not getting out there when we've already paid our registration fee.

On Saturday evening, we celebrated the start of college football season by watching the Red Raiders.  It wasn't on TV, but we were able to stream the video coverage online.  We also hooked up the computer to the TV. It was almost better than watching it on TV because it had the audio feed from the Tech radio broadcast.  Kennedy helped to cheer the Red Raiders on by wearing her gameday gear.

On Sunday, Kennedy was officially 6 weeks old.  We're starting to get pretty well adjusted to having this little nugget as a member of the family.  We especially enjoy getting out of the house as a family unit.  She also let us do some much needed house cleaning this morning.
