Ali gets her ear's pierced!

So I have always been a believer that if you want to get a babies ears pierced the sooner the better. Well things have happened and I had to push it off. First I didn't want to do it around the same time of her shots because that was just cruel and then she got sick and then we were traveling and then time just slipped by .. well last week it finally happened.. Ali got her ears pierced.. I scheduled it on Monday and went in on June 30th to Sweet and Sassy. The store was empty so the sales lady and ear piercer gave us all her undivided attention.. she explained to us the process .. and waited for us to be ready.. she asked if we wanted to do one at a time or do a bam bam one time thing.. we went with the latter that way mom would only have to console baby girl one time.. and well.. the crying did come ..and it came ..and it was hard.. but then mom had the idea to walk in front of a mirror and lo and behold.. Ali stopped crying.. It's the girlie girl in her.. She smiled.. let out her last wimper and we were done.. So now we have a 6 month old with two ears that are pierced! Mega milestone Ali!
