Before shots of both girls (Sam wanted to be included):
Waiting for the earrings to be loaded into the gun (I chose small, 14 carat gold balls):

It's all over:
Content with Mommy:
I was nervous when I got Sam's ears done that she would pull on them and try to play with them. But, surprisingly, she left them alone and they never seemed to bother her or get infected. For that reason, I am confident that Sophia will also have a good experience with this. While the earrings look a little big now, she will grow into them, and she looks so "girly" and so adorable!
Monique,
ReplyDeleteWas searching for a GF's blog and came across yours. Started reading and came across your post on having your dd's ears pierced.
I think you were a smart and thoughtful mommy for piercing your dd's ears early.
Admittedly, I know a lot of people have strong feelings when to pierce a child’s ear. “Let them decide” is being replaced by parental
decision when mommy intuition knows, “earlier is better” from either personal or friend’s experiences of unpleasant childhood ear piercing.
I think it just depends on your own personal choice whether or not you wish your baby or little girl to have pierced ears.
Congrats on making a thoughtful decision on behalf of your dd's. I think babies with earrings are the cutest things. It celebrates their femininity and femaleness. After all, they are little girls. Our ped encouraged to have our dd done as an infant too. She gave me some tips for "Care of Newly Pierced Ears."
Promise your dd will thank you later for the "gift of pierced ears" as an infant. If you or any mom would like any of our ped’s care tips for infants, then don’t hesitate to write me an e-mail.
