Preslee's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I tricked my mom into going with me to get Preslee's ears pierced, something I didn't want to do alone. I was debating whether or not to pierce her perfect little ears, but decided to just do it. She will never remember the pain...awful I know. She screamed bloody murder after the first ear, and I almost cried, and didn't want her to go through the most horrible pain of her life (next to me dropping a bottle on her head) again with her other ear. They have to pierce them separately since babies jerk their heads so easily. She screamed after the first and then almost fell asleep (she was so tired before we started). Then, we pierced the other one, and she screamed even harder and everyone at the mall looked at me like I was crazy stupid.

Preslee will thank me when she's older because she won't remember the pain, and they will already be pierced! ;) She's so beautiful!

Strawberry Shortcake

This year was Preslee's first Halloween. She makes a darling strawberry with an oversized hat. She didn't even make a peep while held at gunpoint by Captain Jack Sparrow! We went to our church party and soon left after discovering we were the only pirates there, and joined G-ma and G-pa at their church party, which was much more exciting! Preslee attempted her first giggle when her nana played patty cake with her....a sound that will melt your heart, however, Mom and Dad can't get her to replicate it...only nana. Mom and Dad just make stupid sounds until we are all out of energy while Preslee only cracks a smile, something she is very good at. She is beginning to make a whiny sound that will surely drive you crazy after about two minutes. She must have received some sort of attention from making it at one time, and now she won't give it up. I have a whiner on my hands. A girl with a temper... AND we thought she was going to be a sweetheart. Well...she is. Just a sweatheart with a strong personality, and she's only 3 1/2 months old! We love her!
