Piper sometimes surprises us with her tininess. I often wonder if I’m exaggerating how small she actually is. Recently, I’ve been wondering if she’s close to outgrowing her size 0 tennies.
Size zeroes are for feet a little over 4” long. Here’s Piper.
That’s right, folks- a whopping 3.25”. When she’s standing. That explains why the adorable size ones we have look gargantuan on the bottom of her scrawny little legs. In fact, we have a pair of Mary Janes- her toes go to the opening; no further.
I wore size ones at 1, twos at 2, and so forth for many years. I remember crying over the fact that, in second grade, my shoes still had square toes (yup- toddler shoes), while all the other girls had pointy toes.
Looks like Piper’s well on her way to the same dactyl deficit.
**on another note- these adorable little toes have some funny red spots on them today… Hopefully it’s nothing, but it can be a sign of some pretty nasty things. We’ll call the doctor tomorrow (I knew our three month hiatus was too good to be true)- pray it’s nothing!**
Are the red spots Petechiae, I just wrote about Emily having them on my blog http://livinglifewithes.blogspot.com. Her blood work came back normal though and I will be praying that Piper is OK too, I wonder if these are more common in children with DS??? Anyway, Emily's feet are teeny tiny too, She can still wear 0-3 month shoes and she's almost 10 months old now! I love how tiny and cute they are but at the same time, I really want to put cute little shoes on her feet without them falling right off!
