Water Skis


Growing up, my dad always called my feet "Water Skis" because they are long and skinny. Thanks, Dad. That's exactly what every girl wants her feet to be known as.

Well, sorry Calder. Apparently the Water Skiing gene has been passed down.















(His footprint at birth, next to a "new born" size shoe. The shoes only fit if he curls his toes a little.)

Maybe he was about to hit a major growth spurt. You know how they say the feet are the first to grow, then the body follows. I guess he has been growing a lot! At his two week appointment, he measured 21 and a half inches long...that's an inch and a half longer than he was when he was born...Holy moly. Good thing he came out when he did.

Let's just hope the Water Ski gene isn't just for his feet...he'll be 4 months in June. That may be a bit too early to start towing him behind a boat, but next summer...

  1. That first paragraph made me laugh out loud! I can just see your dad calling your feet "water skis" and you getting all frustrated and embarrassed :)

  3. Becca - My little boy has long feet, too. He's already in size 4 feet at a year old. I wanted to let you know the footed pajamas at the Children's Place are longer than Carters. Yep. Learned that one the hard way. Hopefully they'll work for you guys too (P.S. P.J's are on clearance for $5.50 there right now.)
