Fishy Face

My newest face...

Ear piercing

September 23, 2011
Mommy and Daddy took me on this day for my 9 month check up and while we were there, I got my ears pierced. Unfortunately, this was during my nap time so I was very upset and tired and took a nice nap when I got home.

Before...

After.
