The Mickelsons: What we've been up to:

I've had quite the busy week as far as scrapbooking goes. I finally finished a scrapbook for Michael and I that has notes and cards and just things we've done in it. It was quite the process especially with a cute as can be clingy baby. But it's done so on to the next one. I swear the journaling and scrapbooking never ends. Anyways, I of course still managed to get some pictures of our sweet one.

I try and go into work at least once a week for a few hours to help my dad with all the secretary stuff. It's so nice because my mom will usually come with me and help out with Olivia so I can get some stuff done. Sometimes this works, but most of the time I end up holding her. She really only wants me. Little stinker. It used to be easy to hold her while I worked but it's getting to the point now where she reaches out and grabs anything in front of her and either rips it up or puts it in her mouth. Well lately, we have discovered Olivia's love for books. Seriously she will sit on your lap and listen to you read for a good amount of time. I think she enjoys the books so much she forgets that mommy isn't holding her!

Watching the Bachelor together. Well Olivia doesn't really watch. Right now she is just looking at her dad. (Her hair looks kind of blonde in this picture..weird cause it's not.)
P.s. Finale on Monday. Yay! Even though I already know who he picks.

So we decided to give the bath another chance since sometimes it is a little bit more convenient than the shower. Well she loved it! Yay for baths! I posted a video of her below. She really started enjoying it when we incorporated a bit of the shower!

So we finally got around to getting mine and Olivia's passports. It was quite the adventure especially because we had to have Michael there with us. (Apparently some people try and leave the country with their kids without the other parent knowing.) We had to walk back and forth from building to building filling out info and taking pictures. But we have them! Olivia loved the walks outside. Seriously, she couldn't have been happier.

After the whole passport ordeal we were hungry so we decided to go to a Salvadorian restaurant we spotted on the way to the County Building. By the way there are lots of good restaurants in downtown Provo. Anyway we ordered pupusas which are tortillas filled with cheese, beans, pork, or combinations of these things. Michael talks about them all the time so I was really excited to try them. They were really good and the fact that they were only $1.60 made them even better. My family was there also, and they loved them too! Olivia loves loves being the center of attention as long as mommy or daddy are holding her...so much so that she skips naps and sometimes get so tired she can hardly keep her eyes open. She fights so hard to keep those little eyes open so she can be apart of the excitement. Well today with so much going on she was of course awake but towards the end of lunch she just put her little head down on my shoulder and closed her eyes. Never seen anything like that from her. It was glorious and so so cute.
