Baptism and A Rite of Passae

Sweet E was baptized last week at a special ceremony with all of her family- September 17.  She was baptized at the new site for our future church building at St. Clare's. She was the next one in line to wear a very special gown that was originally worn by a relative in 1828!

Then Eden took her next Rite of Passage and we had her ears pierced.  In hindsight I am super gad I did it now because she does not even realize they are there.  She doesn't touch, no risk of infection from dirty fingers, and she won't know the difference.  Her godfather, Jimmy, even got her some diamonds for her baptism- spoiled baby!

  1. Love reading your blog and adventures of your family. Think you were a smart mommy getting her ears pierced now when mommy can care for them, plus she looks so darn cute with little earrings. Doing it now is better because there is minimal discomfort if any.

    Honestly, until recently I hadn't even considered having her ears pierced until I asked our pediatrician. She encouraged me to go ahead saying it's best when mommy can care for them. In fact, she had so many moms ask her about it, she gave me a sheet with " Tips and Care for moms having their daughter's ears pierced."

    Your daughter is soO adorable with those cute little earrings. Promise in her pictures, she is saying "thank you" for the "gift of pierced ears. You were wise doing them now when she can't remember having it done. I know her sweet mommy will be taking good care of her adorable little newly pierced ears so she can grow up pretty like her mom.

    Don't feel bad if she was startled, its over and no worse than her shots. She is precious in those cute pictures saying, "Thank you mom for giving me the gift of pierced ears so I can look girlie-girl." Some say to wait till their older, which is okay too. Would be happy to share our ped's tips with any moms who want their little girls to look pretty as a princess.
