This Might Be the Most Clever Way to Take Your Newborn's Footprint

Leaving the hospital with a keepsake of your newborn's footprint is an absolute must after giving birth, but if you're looking for something a little more original than ink on a piece of paper, this is your answer. In a video posted on the Facebook page of Diario Beisbolero, we see a nurse rubbing ink on a newborn boy's feet to mark his first footprints — on a baseball! It's such a simple yet creative way to welcome your baby into the world . . . because it's never too early to drop subtle hints of your hopes for your child's future major league career.

These parents came prepared, equipped with a baseball in their hospital bag and the hopes of their newborn becoming the next Derek Jeter, and we're loving it! Check out some other unique ideas to display your newborn's prints.
