Pic of baby footprint




By Lena Hilltorp

It is so sad when you look back, see the footprint of your child, and realize that she or he is turning twenty. However, it is so great to have a keepsake to remind you that your child was once so little. With the picture of a baby footprint, you can prove to them as they grow how small they once were, but then grew into a strong, independent young adult.

When it comes to the picture of the baby's footprint you can get that from the hospital. Usually, at birth, the hospital will take a printing of a foot or both with the hands of the child. Many hospitals do this keepsake. However, you can do it to if you would like to. All you have to do is purchase some finger paint and smear it on their little feet and toes and then standing them up on a piece of paper or press a piece of paper into their paint covered foot.

However, you don't just have to do a footprint. Many people want their memories marked in stone. Meaning, you can purchase kits that will allow you to make cement, which easily washes off, and then make an impression with their foot. You don't just have to do their foot, but you can also do their hands too.

They are great keepsakes to share with their children and to remind you of how the good times that you have witnessed. Many jokes and sentiments will come to mind when you look back, but it's okay because you can reflect and enjoy their youth for a couple more minutes.

The pictures are also usually done for children who are stillborns or whatnot. You don't have to keep the pictures, but you may want to place them in a box until you are able to come back and reflect without all the pain. It's hard to loose a child, especially, one that you have just carried under your heart for past months. However, sometimes it's okay to remember. It takes years to get over the pain, and you never fully get over it. However, with the keepsake you can hang it in your sewing room or private room and keep them close your heart.

It the hospital gives you an ink picture of the baby's foot or hand, you will want to frame it or place it in their baby book. A wonderful keepsake fits perfectly in a baby book or photo album. However, some people will get it framed and place it in the family room as if it is a portrait. To preserve the ink picture you will want to frame it and keep it out of the sun or you will want to place it in a baby book so that the sun doesn't ruin your keepsake.
