Newborns are like celebrities: Just seconds after they emerge, people are fawning over (and photographing!) every inch of their cuteness left and right. Yet here's one oft-overlooked feature you should make sure not to miss: their hands.
Think about it: Those teeny tiny fingers can curl up into fists, clamp onto your pinky with a death grip, and all in all are surprisingly nimble and expressive, at least compared to the rest of their body (that is, so far). So be sure to give those mitts the adoration they deserve. Check out these birth photographers' pics of baby hands and you'll see what we mean.
Can you believe that sweet handshake in #7?
