Update: Ear Piercing

Well, after reading all of your comments, hubby and I have decided to wait
on the ear piercing for Lily. I had mine done at 7 with my aunt and I
remember being SO excited about it and taking meticulous care of my ears at
that time.

Lily is cute just the way she is! Although I have a hard time resisting all
these little hair bows!

Thanks for all the input,

Jen

You can do it with her some day, and it'll be an occations she remembers.

I think you were very wise to seek advice and even to listen to it. I don't
find the latter very easy at most times :-)

You can always plan it as a "girls day out" thing for her when she's a
bit older :-) I'm looking forward to doing that with my 2.

I can't resist the little headbands and hats!

When she decides that she just HAS to have her ears pierced later on (I
remember doing the whole puuhleeze Mom thing) you can make a big day of
it and have lunch and go to the mall. I think the decision you made was
the safest, anyway. There is really no risk in not having it done and
perhaps she'll be a total tomboy anyway. I am hoping baby #2 is a girl
because I love the little hairbows, too!

Hi Jen;

My baby is not even out & I can't resist those little hair bows ) So,
enjoy

My husband truly believes that I will turn our little girl into a doll.
I don't think I am over doing it, but it's just that girl's stuff is so
much more fun than boy's stuff

Jen,

I did Nicole and whitney's ears real early--6m and 10m. They didn't make a
peep. So, 13 yrs later when I finally got another baby girl, I took Sammi and
got her ears done at 2m. MISTAKE!! She cried so hard she forgot to breath. I
was scared to death. She finally caught her breath, but I will *NEVER* forget
the scene. Shay is my 4th girl and there is no way I will ever put a child thru
that again. Shay can have hers done when she is old enough---like 18. lol. Oh,
Sammi had bad reactions to the earrings. She can only wear 14kt gold, and even
some of those made her ears infected. I took the earrings out at age 13m... I
am happy I did it. I truely believe kids need to be at least 8 before they
have them done, and it has to be their decision.

Btw. Lily is an absolute doll face-- I could just munch her up

Aw thanks! I'll post some new pictures soon, she's even more chubby and
more edible!

I'm looking forward to a girly bonding day with DD when she's older (and if
she wants her ears pierced) ... even now I'm envisioning a day off school, a
trip to the shops, and a nice lunch at a cafe

.... and you are so right - Lily is absolutely *gorgeous* just as she is.

Isnt that funny... my mom was almost as excited as I was for Bonnie to turn
6 months so we could peirce her ears but she made me promise to never ever
use a "head garter" on her.. lol She said it was mean to put them on and
they always seemed too tight... I never much cared for the little hair clips
but Bonnie looks so darned cute in hats.. she does not really leave them on
anymore though
