A couple of months back, I really noticed Finn's feet for the first time. I have no idea how I didn't notice it before, but I figure with everything else he had going on his feet were the least of my concerns. I made a mental note to ask the pediatrician at his 6 month appointment, but then quickly forgot. So, a couple of weeks ago I placed a call to get recommendations for a pediatric dentist and also asked the nurse about Finn's feet. As I explained to her what Finn's feet look like, she was stumped and said that she would speak with the doctor. I really just wanted to know if we needed to bring him in before his 9-month appointment, or if it could wait until then. After a couple of hours the nurse called me back. She relayed the doctor's message that it could wait until his next well-baby visit and that what I had described was "not uncommon". She said they would keep a watch on it. Hmmmm.....well, we've been watching and this is what we see (I'm sorry the pictures are a bit blurry. It's hard to take pictures of wiggling feet.):
From the top, his 2nd toe appears to have been stuck on after the fact. It's shorter than the middle toe and sits on top of both the big toe and the middle toe. I've joked that Heavenly Father finished and realized he only had 4 toes and so he just shoved another one on top at the very end.Looking at his foot from underneath, Finn appears to have only 4 toes. In this picture you can see some of the 2nd toe but it's because I was holding his foot tight to hold it still. But, the point is still there.....he only has 4 toes!
I just bought him his first pair of shoes and I'm wondering if that will help a bit. But try putting socks on this poor kid.....that second toes always gets stuck!
