I'm here!

I know I haven't posted in awhile, I've been busy busy busy since coming to Houston on Saturday (oh, and it doesn't help that the only accessible computer in the house has Chinese headings). When not meeting up with friends, I've been cooking for the family since my Mom has been working overtime this week. I've also taken the liberty to clean out the closet under the stairs at my parents' house. This closet is filled with old gifts that my Mom got and never used, hence, a haven for my Craigslist/eBay frenzy. So, that's about it. Oh, my postage scale came in...I can't wait to get back to Austin to try it out. I know this eBay craze will end eventually, but I figured, I could also used the scale to weigh Lydia because I'm always curious to know how much she weighs.

Oh, speaking of which, Lydia has been tripoding a lot lately (sitting with the support of both hands). Just today she was waving one hand and using the other to support her, so one down and one to go. She's also beginning to recognize people really well; my Mom was holding her when we arrived to Houston so that Trung and I could unload the car and she kept crying after having stared down my Mom for awhile. We're going to have to join a Mom's Day Out or go to church more so that Trung and I aren't the only ones she sees all the time. We'll see though because she has been opening up quite a bit ever since we've been here.

My brother Mike showed me this video in honor of my eBaying...
