Newborn's cheeky hand cast 'flips' mom into laughter

As a new parent, you might experience many things that make you cry (and laugh). In our opinion, it is always best to take things in your stride and celebrate the milestone moments. 

Many parents do portraits, photoshoots, and hand and foot casting as keepsakes for their newborns. The symbolism and the art behind each craft or memory are timeless. How cute it must be to remember the size and markings of your newborn's hands and feet...

Professionals usually perform hand and foot casts by coming to people's homes and directing each family member to place their hands in a particular way. However, there are DIY kits that allow parents to do this for themselves.

A mother who decided to do a hand cast on her newborn was excited to peel it back to reveal the precious little cast. But things took a quick turn for the funny when she broke it open to find that her newborn had a sense of humour.

She shared the video of herself breaking through the cast and could not stop laughing when she saw this little hand 'flipping the bird' or 'giving her the middle finger'. 

Somehow, this seemed better than a tiny hand curled up, looking cute enough to eat.

Talk about crafting a piece that is bound to be a conversation starter. Mom, Madison Hefer, will have her hands full with this little one.
