Everett's Toes

Ev's Toes Now - You can really see it!
I was born with something called Polydactyly  (refers to extra digits - in the hand, extra fingers or thumbs) which is now just a bump on my pinky fingers. When I was pregnant we always said we just wanted Everett to be healthy and have 11 fingers and 10 toes! Well, it wasn't until Everett was about a month old that Ivan noticed he has 2 weird toes. When we took him for his next doctors visit he told us that it was webbed toes. When I looked it up online I discovered that is was referred to as Syndactyly (adjacent fingers or toes are joined by soft tissue).  After discussing this with my sister Jennifer she said she always noticed something weird with her toes too - turns out she has it also! It is cute that he carried on one of my traits.
