Ten Toes and Five Fingers

Don't worry, E still has all ten fingers, he just won't be adding the left ones to our baby album any time soon. As Amy will mention in her blog it was a monumental day today as our little guy turned 3 months. We got pictures taken at Penny's and we decided to foot and hand print him for his baby journal and two wall hangings we received as gifts.

I got out his hospital prints and compared them to his feet. Holy cow he had big feet when he was born! He's bigger now but his feet are only just a smidgen bigger!

I wanted to be efficient when we printed him, knowing that he would squirm so I laid out the book, the pieces to be framed, and an extra piece of paper so that we could quickly get the prints we needed. The feet proved to be the easy task. When we got to the hands it was quite different! He does not like to stretch out his fingers so getting ink on them and then getting him to stretch them out on the paper proved very, very difficult. In fact he was so pissed off after we did the right hand we decided not to do the left. It took several minutes to calm him down after the hand print. He wouldn't even take a pacifier.

We are now left with perfect pairs of foot prints and only a smugged right hand!
