We've spent a few evenings decorating for Christmas. It's been extra special this year since we have Kennedy and this will be her first Christmas. We got a new Christmas tree. It's a little skinnier than a normal tree. The advantage there is that we got to set it up next to our stairway. We also finally got around to getting Kennedy her stocking.
On Wednesday, Kennedy went to the Doctor's office for her 4 month checkup and shots. The doctor gave a favorable report. He also shared with us where Kennedy stacks up on the growth chart. She is in the 25th percentile for her head circumference, the 35th percentile for her weight, and the 90th percentile for her length. For the time being, we have a pretty tall and skinny kiddo. He recommended that we start feeding her rice cereal with a spoon (more on that later).
On Thursday, Kennedy started to run a fever; however, she seemed to be feeling OK. She was still smiling. We speculated that perhaps the shots were causing her to run a slight fever. The Montessori had to send her home though.
On Friday, Rachel stayed home with Kennedy since she has to be fever free for 24 hours before she can go back to school. Although, they made it up to Rachel's office for a lunchtime wreath making party with the ladies at TRWD.
On Saturday, Rachel went to get her hair cut, colored, and styled while Jason and Kennedy went to do a little Christmas shopping. While they were out, Kennedy got into a giggly mood and Jason shot this video.
As usual, Sunday was a day full of chores. We were originally slated for the Dallas White Rock 1/2 Marathon, but we didn't participate for a couple of reasons. One, our training has recently seen a dramatic decline and Two, the weather got in the way. Strollers are not allowed on the course so Jason's parents were going to come to town to watch Kennedy while Jason and Rachel participated in the race. The weather forecast for Amarillo called for pretty sever winter weather and it didn't make sense to risk it. We weren't too disappointed because it was cold and rainy this morning. It would have been pretty miserable. That evening, we finally got around to our attempt at feeding Kennedy rice cereal. Initially, it didn't go too well as evidenced by the photo below. Kennedy eventually came around though. Rachel was able to work her magic.
