Baby's First Handprint


Awhile ago Cameron and I bought the 'Baby's First Handprint' mold thing with good intentions of capturing Marcus' cute little print. However, days of putting it off or forgetting went by and then weeks and eventually months. Marcus is now 7 months and I was determined to get that hand print! Granted, we understood that this was close to impossible, for we knew that the little guy would not let us keep his hand still for 5 whole seconds! But, sick of seeing the mold sit on the table, I told Cam that today was the day! Well, while trying to keep him asleep through the process, a completely ruined t-shirt (mine!) and a screaming baby...this is what we got!


It will have to do!

  1. I tried to do a handprint and footprint with ink when Colin was a newborn. The foot was easy but newborn hands don't open, but they just do fists, so my print looks much the same. :o) Hope it wasn't one of your good shirts that got ruined.

  5. Hey guys!! I love that you found our blog so we can stay updated with you guys. Marcus is SO cute!

    We made a couple attempts at getting a hand print of Reef with the clay and got about the same results as you. In the end we figured out that ink and paper is WAY easier : )

  6. Same thing happened to us! Don't be discouraged though,it is the memory behind making the print that you will always remember...:) haha I think we ended up throwing ours away because it looked so bad.
