Kennedy's personality continues to show little wrinkles.

• It's starting to become apparent that she doesn't like open cabinets or drawers.  She's been closing them.  She even has a variety of techniques.  She has the typical "push-to-close" technique, but she also has the "bump it with your butt" technique.  
• She's also started to get onto Sammy when he's misbehaving.  When she notices him misbehaving, she points her finger at him and says "no."  
• When we were back in Amarillo, Meme and Grandpa had let her play with an old laptop.  Now that we've been home, she found our old laptop and has insisted that she use it.  She loves to open the screen and poke at the keyboard.
• It case you didn't already know, she loves shoes.  Bet you only need one guess to figure out where she got that from.  Pretty funny how she has such an opinion about what shoes she wears. She loves to go over to our cabinet and pick out a pair of shoes from her bucket.  Sometimes she even opens the cabinet and keeps changing her shoes out.  She can even get them on, but about half the time, she gets them on the wrong foot.

Last Sunday, the week started off with a bit of an incident.  We were awoken by Kennedy crying around 1:00 AM.  We decided to let her cry it out a bit, but she never quite settled.  Rachel went to go check on her and she had thrown up in her bed.  Yuck!  Rachel took care of giving Kennedy a bath while Jason cleaned up the mess in the bedroom.  She was fine the next morning, but we were sure groggy as we were heading out for work the next morning.

On Friday, Jason got up early to head to Galveston for a meeting.  Rachel got Kennedy ready and headed over to Starbucks for the usual Friday routine.  For the second week in a row, the outing was cut short.  This time around, Kennedy threw up.  It turns out that she had a stomach bug so Rachel stayed at home with her.  Kennedy also picked up another trait from her parents.  As she was laying down, she started to pat her lap in an effort to call Sammy over.  She must have picked up on us doing it.  She's such a little sweetie.  By the end of the day on Saturday, she was back to normal.  We were sure glad to have her back!
