Happy 6th Months Abby! (Sorry I tortured you)

Before the torture!

I got her to smile after she got her ears pierced!

After all was said and done :( poor baby!

Happy as usual!

Abigail turned 6 months old yesterday! Today she had her doctors visit and now weighs 13 lbs (5%) and is 25 inches long (25%). The Dr. said she is petite but nothing to worry about! She also has to go see an optometrist soon because it seems sometimes that one of her eyes gets cross-eyed (I only notice it in some pictures). The Dr. said that it probably isn't a big deal but she needs to get it looked at. She got 4 shots today including her flu shot :( and she also got her ears pierced. I'm not a bad mom I swear!

    Jamie,

    Was searching for a GF's blog and came across yours. Started reading and came across your post on having your dd's ears pierced by her ped.

    Our ped encouraged me to do and she did it uneventfully in the office. I think you were a smart and thoughtful mommy for piercing your dd's ears now when you can care for them. She'll thank you later.

    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.

    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.
