Joe and I are having trouble with something, do you want to help us? When Kalli was 4 months old we had her ears pierced. There a couple reasons we did this: I had mine done when I was about the same age, Kalli had her helmet which meant I couldn't put bows and such on her head so I really wanted to do the earring thing to make her look more girly, and we also thought that if we got them done early on in her life we wouldn't have to worry about her pulling them out (we were wrong about that). So Lexie is now 4 months old and we still haven't figured out if we're going to pierce her ears this early. The good thing about Kalli's ears being pierced is that they're done and we don't have to worry about it now, but she went through a period where she always pulled out her earrings and made her ears bleed. We thought maybe just do it now with Lexie to have them done. Also I see a potential fight in their future that we pierced Kalli's ears but not Lexie's. It's something we've been talking about a lot lately and we still haven't come to a conclusion. I will also say that I always got this feeling that Kalli is super girly, even early on, and she is! But I don't get that sense from Lexie. I put headbands on her and it just doesn't look right. So I just don't know if earrings are going to look funny on her like the headbands do. See, you can tell I've put way too much thought into this. Help, please...

I personally love baby girls with pierced ears...I say go for it...but again you never know :) Good luck with that!
I say do it because that is what you did with Kalli. My girls don't have their ears pierced, but I think I would have them done if I could get Jared on board. Lexie is gorgeous, so whatever you will be perfect!
For what it is worth, (not much - I know) my opinion is that you should wait until she is older. Kalli probably won't remember how old she was when she got her ears pierced unless you tell her. The fact that she pulled hers out and made her ears bleed, and also the risk of infection, leads me to believe that it is better to do it when they are old enough to understand what is going on and tell you if they are hurting. Since you have two pro votes, I thought I should put in one for the con side. Good luck!
