We have no reason for this happening, but she is such an amazing little person.
Here is some info on it.

Ectrodactyly: The congenital absence of all or part of one or more fingers or toes.

The term ectrodactyly has been applied to a variety of malformations of the fingers or toes. It is probably best reserved for:

transverse terminal aphalangia (absence of the last bone in the finger or toe),
adactylia (total absence of a finger or toes), or
acheiria (total absence of one or both hands).
Cases of ectrodactyly defined in this way are usually sporadic (with no family history of this malformation). As a rule, one hand is involved and the feet are not affected. Congenital constriction rings ("amniotic bands") are sometimes associated with the malformation.

The hereditary condition called split-hand/split-foot malformation and sometimes called lobster-claw deformity is also termed ectrodactyly, as does another hereditary disorder called the EEC syndrome. (EEC stands for ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia , and facial cleft.)

Cary Lynn replied: She is very good with her hands and Feet. She is like any child, but just missing fingers and toes.
We found out when I was 20 weeks pregnant at a routine U/S
