Handprint and Footprint Art

Do you remember my ambitious plans for these blank canvases? Well, a few days after we arrived home from the hospital we broke out the paint to get a handprint and footprint of Silas.

The footprint was pretty easy. We painted his foot and pressed it up to the canvas.

Managing to get a hand print was a little more difficult, but eventually we got something that resembled a hand.

Although it does remind us of a lot like Wilson the volleyball from the movie Cast Away, we think it just adds some character to our homemade art...

and we have a sweet reminder of how small our baby boy was when he was just a few days old.
