So I was walking around the mall on Monday pushing Laneah in her stroller and I saw a little girl getting her ears pierced. I have always wanted to get Laneah's ears pierced but was just so nervous! I had wanted Jason to come for support, but I decided to be brave. I went to the Piercing Pagoda kiosk because they are professionals, not some random teenager at Claires. I was really nervous and asked the guy all kinds of questions. He said that when it comes to ear piercing, the younger, the better. So I picked out her earrings, but was still debating because I didn't want to possibly hurt her for vanity. Since I haven't worn earrings since high school, my holes had closed. I decided that I would get mine pierced first and that if it didn't hurt, I would get hers done too. I felt like a tug on my ear and then he went to my other ear and I asked him, "did you do it?" because seriously, I didn't really feel anything. This made me a lot more comfortable in getting Laneah's ears pierced. She cried for about a minute and then she was fine. And she looks adorable! I will tell you though, she does not like me to clean her ears. It has been really difficult for me to clean them well and they are a little pink. Any tips?
Laneah and I with our new earrings. (Jason took three pictures and cut my head off on each one!)
Laneah looking so cute with her new earrings. She has been doing this all month where she uses her tongue to suck on her upper lip (I think it is because her upper teeth are getting ready to come in). It is so cute though, I love it.

I love it. You both look beautiful with your new bling. Try this when cleaning her ears: (First off have everything ready to go). Lay her down and lean over her with something hanging out of your mouth (like an interesting necklace, etc.) or wear those big, funny sunglasses. She'll probably be so distracted she won't even notice you cleaning her ears. Good luck!
You two look so cute, a little bling never hurt anyone. You are brave to do it alone, I don't know if I could, way to go!
OH how cute Rachel! I got Mia's pierced when she was 3 months old, and she cried and cried! I felt so bad, but she got over it and of course looked adorable. I always cleaned hers after her bath as part of her routine and in the morning when I changed her diaper. Maybe give her a toy to play hold while you do it to distract her.
Did you get my invite to my blog?
She is so gorgeous Rachel! Those earrings look so precious on her. You all are a beautiful family. Thanks for all of your comments on my blog you leave. It makes my day.
