The Whipple Family: June 2012

Hello! Again, it's been a while. Now that we are settled in Marysville, I want to update this regularly (cross your fingers). So! We've moved! We are in Ohio. We like it a lot so far! We are in temporary housing (small, small, small) that Honda provided for free. We will be moving in the middle of next month to a bigger apartment. I am so excited because we will actually have all of our stuff again - for the first time since December!!! Wow.

Ohio is great! The ward here is awesome. We live in a small town but we live really close to Columbus where there is a lot to do. Derek loves his job so far. He is busy and he is learning a lot. He comes home and explains things to me and I nod and smile and stuff but most of it is way over my head. But, he is excited about it so I am happy.

Seth and I hang out together at home! Sometimes it gets boring but that's when we go out and do things! We take a walk every morning around the complex (we will be living close to a park when we move thank goodness. Right now we live by the highway and a bunch of businesses.. bleh). We drive into the city a lot, we take lots of walks, we have a membership to the zoo and the library... we try to keep busy. Seth is doing so great. He is BIG!! He is gaining weight and inches. We will have his 4 month check up in July (a little late because we are leaving town) I am excited to see how much he has grown.

He is taking more regular naps. We finally have gotten into a flexible routine that works pretty well for the two of us. He still is getting up once or twice in the night to eat but he goes right back to sleep so I can't complain much. He is a mover. I swear he is ready to start walking already. He started rolling over just before he turned three months, he talks a lot (ahhh ooohhh), kicks his legs... He wants to stand up all the time. He is wonderful. He already wears me out and he's not even a toddler yet! He loves to be outside. I took him to the park the other day and we just laid on a blanket under a tree and hung out. He cries a lot less than he did when he was new.

Here are some pictures of the last few weeks!
