Ten Fingers and Ten Toes...I don't think so!

When Teddy was born, the first thing I did was to count his fingers and his toes. When counting his fingers, I got to number ten and there was still another finger left to count. Yes, that's right! Teddy has eleven fingers. It's actually a condition called polydactyly. It is really common - 1 in every 500 babies born has an extra digit.

The extra finger extends off his left pinky finger and doesn't have a bone. We are having the finger removed this coming Tuesday morning, although I am sad to see it go!

Here is a picture of the extra digit.
