Every parent counts the fingers and toes of their new born baby. Those baby hands and feet warm everyone's heart with their innocence and purity that only a new baby can have. As baby grows, parent most miss those tiny hands that belong to their precious baby. Fond memories are linked to that little hand wrapping around a finger and squeezing the love into both the baby and the parent. Sooner than most parents would like, those tiny little hands grow up.

Of course, the baby's tiny feet are also a source of amazement for most adults. Everyone has to see those precious little toes to see for themselves how perfect the bundle of joy is. Playing "this little piggy" with such cute little toes embeds the baby's perfection into the memories of each parent.

You can now save those precious memories forever. Not only do you have the footprints that the hospital made for you, but you can have a real three-dimensional memento of those perfect baby hands and feet. Several companies can help you preserve the memory of baby's perfection.

One option offered makes your baby's hand print or foot print into a plaque. Mounting the plaque on a wooden frame, you can include a decorative nameplate to show the name and age when the prints were made. This is a perfect way to keep a memory of their tiny hands and feet.

Unlike many pictures or personalized baby gifts, these plaques are not usually put away in the attic. Here is a great website related to pregnancy http://www.detailedpregnancy.com. Instead, they are proudly displayed hanging on a wall or sitting in a stand in plain view. In this way the family can keep the prints and brag about them to everyone. Family members could even give this as a baby gift to the expecting parents.

The plaques can be made in a variety of configurations. You may choose a small plaque that has only the hands or the feet. However, you can choose a larger plaque that can fit both the hands and feet. Or even better, you can include all of the children's prints in one plaque if you missed out doing this with older siblings. Another sweet memory would be have both the parents' and the baby's hand prints on the same plaque.

Another unique memory option is a three-dimensional representation of your baby's hand or foot. By placing the hand or foot into a jelly that sets in just seconds, the artist has a mold by which to create a cast. The cast will be the identical replication of your baby's hand or foot, and you can have it made in brass, silver, glass, or gold. You don't have to let time steal those precious memories; capture them forever in prints.
