Pierced Baby Ears
I don't remember ever not having my ears pierced. This is my niece, and her pierced ears. Her dad jokes the belly button is next.
The Test of Other People's Poor Choices
It's a tough life lesson that when you try to be more loving, forgiving and in greater harmony with those around you, you will discover that someone you have feelings for, like and care about turns out to be a person capable of doing awful, despicable, unjust things. Your trust is betrayed. If you think you are justified responding with anger, hate, disgust, public shaming and bringing justice for their actions, well... you are. Totally justified. And people encourage you to do all of these things. But you know: this is not who you are trying to be. You could never again be a person who didn't do those things.

I always thought it was bad for babies to have pierced ears.....I've been in the vicinity when they were having them done before.....blood curdling screams echoed through my ears.....poor baby....
although they do look darn cute!
Funny thing... I haven't worn earrings in years.
You both look beautiful in that pic! Deer-in-headlights look for the niece and all, LOL!
And thank you, I love her big eyes and cheeks. And she is the funniest baby, she's quite serious for a 6 month old. She babbles a lot and she'll furrow her brow like what's she's saying is very serious. And she hates having her picture taken, usually turns away. I bet you couldn't tell.
I've had my ears done when I was five months old. My sister's were done at six months. If I would have had a daughter instead of a son, her ears would have been done by now. If I ever have a daughter, she will get her's done young. I love little earrings on babies. It adds to their sweet factor.
I've had people suggest me getting Chase's ears done. It's bad enough I hate getting his hair cut and stranges think he's a girl sometimes; I'm not piercing his ears! If he wants one or both when he's older, I'm fine with that. Just not now.
