Adventures in ear piercing...

Well...we got Mackenzie's ear's pierced on Saturday - 6/21. Lord! You would have thought we were tearing her limbs off!!

She was doing ok when she was just sitting in the chair with her Daddy. She didn't like the lady marking her ears though. Then she realized something was up once Daddy had to actually hold her still. (Aaron was not pleased with me that he had to be the bad guy )Then all hell broke loose when she got poked with the needle! She was so pissed!!

I took her out to the car while Grandma & Grandpa paid to see if I could feed her and calm her down and man was that a chore. It's not really easy to feed a baby who just got her ears pierced. She didn't want me touching her ears and it's hard to BF without touching her ears somehow. I finally figured it out though and just held her head with the palm of my hand. All is well with the world now and she looks cute as heck (Besides the fact that the earrings are gold which Aaron and I hate. We can change them in 4 wks though, so we'll get her white gold ones then.)!The lady did a good job. I was happy a piercing gun wasn't used on her. The earrings in her ear have a thin post, so her hole isn't too large (like the guns give you). And...she seemed to know a lot about piercing baby's ears, so that made me feel good. I'm glad it's all over now and we won't have to do it when she's older. This way she won't remember it happening :)

Here's the little munchkin showing off her new earrings!
