We finally got Cristiana's ears pierced last Wednesday. We were planning on getting them done around her 6 month visit but the nurse said her ears were too small and we should wait until her 9 month visit. Cristiana did well, only cried a little and I think it was more because she was being held down and surrounded by people (the nurse, the P.A, and both her mom and dad) which I'm sure was a bit nerve raking, but I was happy to get them done now before she starts grabbing at her ears (she doesn't even know they are there). Now no one can say "What a cute boy," even though I'm sure it will still happen (people would still ask what gender she was even though she had a big bow on her hair so earrings might not make a difference).
