Something new. . .

After getting advice from Caroline's pediatrician and after talking to lots of friends with little girls, I decided to go ahead and get my baby's ears pierced. After Jacob's birthday party on Saturday, we headed over to the mall to Claire's. Tammie and Alina went with me to offer moral support (Ryan couldn't handle seeing her cry. . .Daddy is such a softie!) and things went off without a hitch. Alina held Caroline so that I could keep her distracted and I think she was more upset about having her head held still than about the pain of getting her ears pierced. She only cried for a minute and was back to her happy self! I think it might've been worse for me than it was for her. We'll keep the starter earrings in for 8 weeks and then she can wear her new diamonds! She looks so pretty, don't you think? =)
