My sister-in-law took my nephew Isaac to The Painted Plate in Olympia when he was one month old to put his footprints on a tile with his name. I thought this was a great idea, so we did the same thing. Mikey, Emily, and Isaac met us there along with Melanie and her boyfriend Zach. When we got there Claire was awake but starting to fuss because she was hungry. So at one month old, Claire was nursed in public for the first time. No pictures though becasue the family thought that it would be wierd. Here we are trying for a handprint first. Didn't work because she still had that hand clench reflex going on. Not too happy with us.
So then we tried the foot. Look how small it is!
Putting it on the tile. The first one went on good but we had to try like three times to get the second foot to look like a foot.
Here we are with the finished product. Love it. After baking the purple ended up being pretty light but the name became a beautiful dark blue. Not exaclty what we thought it would be but it is perfect.
Right afterwards she fell asleep while the rest of the family finished up their artwork. I can't wait to go back and make something else.
