That's just the way they were made, I am not sure exactly why they don't have a 5th toe on the front. I like how they don't have 5 toes on the front, makes them unique! I love watching my little girls grab things and see them make a fist with only 4- it looks so silly! hehe!

Post pictures of Abbie some time, we LOVE pictures!
