Jordyn's figuring out this sippy cup thing!

Jordyn thinks the sippy cup is a toy instead of a drinking utensil!  I've just been putting water in it so she can practice holding it.  I might start putting a little juice in it soon so she can have something good to drink out of it.  I just set it on her tray while we eat so she can kind of explore it.  It seems to be working out pretty well. 

I'm feeling awesome this weekend.  I started a manager position at my job last week.  Now that I'm a manager and not just a sales associate, I get every other weekend off. Yay!! I was excited when I woke up this morning because I don't have to be back in until Monday night.  I can't remember the last time I was able to spend the whole weekend with my husband without anywhere to go.  (Well San Antonio a few weeks ago, but I get to hang out in MY house!) Granted, I do have to do homework these next couple of days, but hey, at least I don't have to be on a schedule!

My husband is going to take me out to dinner tonight and we are going to get Jordyn's ears pierced this afternoon.  I'm extremely nervous but excited about it.  I was googling any tips from fellow moms the other day, and I realized how controversial infant ear piercing can be.  I noticed that a lot of parents feel it's "child abuse." I think that's a little far fetched.  Yes its a vanity thing, but i believe its far from child abuse.  They feel that a child should be able to decide if they want their ears pierced or not when they are old enough to say so.  I had mine pierced when I was a few months old, so did my mom, all my girl cousins, and most of my friends' kids.  I just wanted to know what you all thought about infant ear piercing, which unbeknownst to me, is very controversial.

Ya'll have a fun and safe weekend!

  1. She is so cute! Putting her cup in front of her is the best way for her to learn. They always like to explore new things. I don't think getting your infants ears pierced is child abuse. Its cute seeing little girls with their ears pierced. I got my ears pierced at an early age. If it is something you want to do then do it. Have a great weekend!

  2. Jordyn is so cute!! I think you should get her ear's pierced. That is your choice and there is nothing wrong with it. I have a 14 year old and she got hers done when she was around your Jordyn's age and now she has a second hole. It's okay and she will love you for enhancing her beauty!!

  4. Jordyn is gorgeous! I think it's a good idea to pierce her ears early. My sister wanted my neice to be old enough to choose, and now, she is 13 and scared to get her ears pierced. So I whole heartedly support ear piercing before they know it can hurt, even if it's only a little.
