Lavender Rain

Yes, it’s true what the title says. Zoe just got her ears pierced yesterday. My mom, my aunt, and my sister were with us when she got it done. Aww, my poor baby cried so loud! We even got it on video, but I don’t want to upload it up on the Internet for the whole world to see. I don’t want Zoe to hate me when she gets older.

The only method of soothing that stopped her from wailing was breastfeeding! I am telling you, I am so grateful that God designed woman’s breasts to not just nourish your child, but to also soothe them. After nursing her for a couple minutes, she was back to her old cheerful self. She was even smiling!

Check it out!

So I was just on CafeMom today and saw some pictures of babies with their ears pierced. I want to get Zoe’s ears pierced soon so that she can be easily identified as a girl. I am tired of people thinking that she is a boy even if she is wearing pink. As a baby myself I was pierced when I was a newborn! Right when I came out of my mother’s womb… I guess it’s because that was the trend in the Philippines? I think it still is, I’m not sure. The only thing I am concerned about is that I am afraid of her getting an ear infection and keloids! I would be so guilty if she gets it! I have to talk to her pediatrician about it before I decide too quickly. Josh thinks it might be too early to do that, but I guess the best thing to do is to find out from the doctor.

Zoe will be officially 5 months old tomorrow at 4pm. Yay! She is growing up too fast.
