July 31 = Handprint Day

So in the hospital, when a baby is born, they always get the baby's footprints.  They are very kind and either put the baby's footprints in your baby book or, since we brought the baby book but forgot to bring it back with us to the OR, they'll do them on a separate sheet which we later taped in the baby book.  The problem is, all baby books have a spot for handprints too.  Footprints are much easier to get than handprints.  Hands are more easily scrunched up and are more likely to, with ink all over them, end up on their face and clothes.  So we waited a few weeks but finally took on the task of getting Malia's handprints done for her baby book... we are ahead of schedule compared with poor Liam- we didn't dare get his handprints until he was 6 weeks old.

Note: they look big but are done on 3.5 x 5 index cards so they're actually quite small and adorable.
