We finally did it!!!!!

If there's one thing that maybe I have a teeny, tiny regret about is Gaby not getting her ears pierced when she was really little. I am Latin, afterall, and that's just what we do. I actually went to the mall one day when she was about three months old and totally chickened out. After that, it seemed like she was so much more aware of things and I just couldn't bring myself to cause my poor little child pain and/or discomfort. And of course, I believed she would blame me for her pain. So it just never happened.

For about six months now, Gaby has been saying she wanted earrings. I explained to her that they would have to pinch her ears to make holes in them and that it would hurt for a little bit. That didn't seem to matter to her. She's been pretty relentless and insitent on the fact that she wanted earrings. She is such a girlie girl!

So this past weekend, we actually went for it. It would be part of her birthday present. My niece, Suzy, came with us.
That's one excited little girl... Thank goodness they did them both at once... About three seconds after the pop, Gaby's face went from excited to OUCH!!!!! Poor sweetie did cry, but just for a little bit...
After that, we were all smiles and soooo happy to have big girl earrings!!! Way to go, kiddo :)
She looks too cute!
