Sample Newborn Pictures!!

Our little doll is not a fan of being dressed and undressed so she was a little stinker to say the least:) However I think we were able to get some pretty cute shots! These are just a few of them prior to colorization.

Daddy's girl!

Olivia LOVES her dad. Even though he is a bit crazy and loud sometimes,he can be so gentle and sweet with her. I think she likes this best because when he gets in his hyper moods she just sits and glares at him haha.


Dancing with Dad! Olivia loves music. Whenever she is fussy we will turn on music and she will immediately stop and just sit there and listen. Michael is the one who is really in to music so he has shared a lot of his favorite songs with her. Of course they are mostly Westlife. Anyway, Michael danced with her to a song called Heaven by Your Side. You can tell by her little face in this one that she loved it!

Here is a little video I took of them dancing. I am so mad I didn't get more of it. It was so adorable!

Just a few extra pictures! I seriously can not get over how cute she is. I love her so much!

Last night Michael and I heard her making these little sighing noises so we walked over and this is what we saw!

Our little buckette/her first bath!

As you know we are huge fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes, well mostly Michael is. I pretty much cheer for them so that he will be in a good mood. Anyway, we like to dress up for the games even though we just watch them at home. Before Olivia was born we bought her a little Ohio State outfit to wear to watch all the games with her dad. It's a little big, but she looked adorable in it! It was her first official game outside the womb and Michael was excited to share it with her even though she pretty much slept the whole time:)

Olivia's umbilical cord finally came off which means we got to give her her first bath! I was actually quite nervous about this because Olivia HATES being undressed. She cries every time I change her diaper or her clothes even though I try and tell her that I am just trying to help her. Anyway, Michael and I were sure she would scream the entire time we bathed her. So we got her undressed and of course she was fussing, but, the second we stuck her in the sink she stopped! We seriously were so shocked. Anyway, she loved her bath!

This picture is for the Mickelson family. I have to tell you that Olivia was not happy about taking this picture. We told her grandma was the one who made us take it.

Olivia Alexandra Mickelson

Olivia Alexandra Mickelson was born on September 30, 2010 weighing 5 pounds 2 ounces and was 17.5 inches long. She was very healthy and did not spend any time in the NICU which was a relief to both of us. We had a relaxing 2 days in the hospital and I never let her leave my sight. It was an incredible day that I am sure neither Michael and I will ever forget. Olivia is doing wonderful and we are loving every second of being her mom and dad!

Her first moments

Michael stayed by her the whole the whole time. It was so cute to watch.

Our first family photo!

She loves sucking on her little hands and fingers

Snug as a bug in her swing

Olivia and her dad. She loves being held.

Michael's 2nd and 3rd loves....

A couple weeks ago I think Michael experienced one of the happiest days of his life. Ever since I met him he has always talked about how much he wanted a new set of golf clubs. Well obviously that's a little pricey and a kind of out of the question purchase for newlyweds. Anyway Michael's parents decided that they would buy him any set of irons he wanted. His reaction and face were priceless upon finding this out. He immediately began searching online and telling me all about the different brands which I obviously didn't get at all. So, one Saturday he decided that he would go get fitted for them and actually ended up coming home having ordered the "perfect" set! Now the only downside to all this was that since he is left handed he would have to wait up to 2 weeks for his clubs to come in. In most people's eyes 2 weeks isn't too long...but in Michael's I'm pretty sure it felt like 2 years especially since it ended up being 2 weeks and 2 days. Once it had been 1 1/2 weeks he would call the store every day checking on the status of his clubs. In fact, he even made me call a few times. Well they finally did come in and I went with him to pick them up. He was so excited to show them to me even though to me a golf club is pretty much like a metal pole. We stopped at the driving range on the way home so that he could try them out. He hit a lot further than he did with his old clubs! I just have to say that even though those golf clubs don't mean anything to me, it made me so happy to watch him look at them with his adorable smile and talk endlessly about how much better they were than his old ones.

His golf clubs! (The ones with the red covers are all his new irons)

I have to admit I think the red is really cool!

I'm not going to lie, he is pretty sexy when he swings a golf club:)

Alright well the season has finally come again for college football and Michael could not be any more excited to cheer his buckeyes to another national championship. Michael begins getting dressed up for the games hours before they even start. I often have to remind him that the game isn't for 3 or 4 more hours. He is quite in to their quarterback Terrelle Pryor and is constantly talking about what a "physical speciman" he is. I have to say that I could have cared less about Ohio State or any other football team before I met Michael, but now I can honestly say I becoming quite the fan of them. I think we are in for an exciting season of college football!
