When Anthony was 2 months old I put a pair of socks on him that were too tight on his chubby little legs and on one leg left a red mark. As soon as I saw it I whipped those socks off and tossed them in the trash and put neosporin on the boo-boo. Well it didn’t work and now the poor little guy has a raised mark on his leg. So watch out for too tight socks! I don’t want you to have to tell your darling in your efforts to keep them warm you’ve scarred them for life like I did.
I went on a sock hunting adventure after that and bought several different types. I guess because he has chubby legs and blocks for feet he has trouble with the regular socks. They make ankle socks for babies 6 - 18 mo and they work great for him. I found the ones he wears at Wal-mart but I’m sure Target carries them also. The Children’s Place also carries socks that are chenille (well they look like it anyway) which work great too, but are a tad bit more expensive and only come in 3 colors.

It finally appears as if the scar is going away! I think it has something to do with him growing more than anything and basically “stretching” it out.
