Ears Pierced!

Well, last weekend we took Ariel to get her ears pierced. Daddy wasn't too thrilled with the idea but I got him to come around to my way of thinking :).

Me, Grandma, Aunt Cathy, Aunt Mary, and Manda went to the mall. I picked out some cute little heart shape earrings with a pink cubic zirconia in the middle. Cathy and Manda kept trying to get me to pick ruby earrings because it is the July birthstone. I think it was more because July is also when their birthdays are as well.

Anyway, so I let Cathy be the one to hold Ariel. I wanted her to be the "bad guy". That way as soon as it was over, she could hand her to me. I wanted to be the one to soothe her. Plus I didn't think I'd be able to hold her down.

First the left ear, and then the right. She cried for a little bit but she was perfectly fine before we ever even left the mall. She has some cute little earrings now. She hasn't attempted to mess with them and they never even seem to bother her!

2 Month Shots

So this past Tuesday I took Ariel in for her two month check up. I knew she would have to get shots but what I didn't know was that there were THREE of them! That's just not cool! She was being so good that morning, just cooing away in her crib, watching her mobile go round and round. Then I had to take her to those mean people. She screamed, had little tears streaming, and just whimpered. I felt so bad for her. She passed out on the way to my sisters. I think I'm more traumatized by it than she was!

Oh and she weighs 10lbs 6oz now! She's getting so big!!!
