This is Polydactyly when your one day old
This is Polydactyly when your three years old
Polydactyly: is a congenital physical anomaly in humans having supernumerary fingers or toes.We finally found out the mystery behind Maxwell's nubby!
An X-ray revealed to us today that Maxwell has two toes inside his nubby. The two toes never split into two actual visible toes they just formed into this "large mass" is how the Dr. put it.
One of the toes will win out and be the main toe, the Dr. is not sure which one will win out yet so we will just wait and see. If his toe stays straight and doesn't widen we won't have to worry about surgery, so that's good. Until then Maxwell can just keep on being cute and feeling cool that he's got twenty-ONE digits!

Supernumery equals Super-Hero. I am so proud to have a little Max as a nephew. You might need to get him an Incredible costume for Halloween.
Roxanne just told me, I missed the mass text about the extra toe. That is pretty amazing, but not as amazing as he is. That just adds to his amazingness. He is so dang cute!!!
