Yangon, Myanmar:
The mother of a 16-month old girl from Myanmar is hoping that her daughter will land in the record books for having the most number of fingers and toes.
Le Yati Min was born with 12 fingers and 14 toes and may be the most "digitally enhanced" person in the world.
From almost the moment Le was born, her mother knew the girl had a little something extra.
"I asked the nurses whether my kid was born complete with hands and legs," said Phyo Min Min Soe, the child's mother.
"They replied that the baby even has more than she needs," Phyo added.
Now a neighbour is helping her mother apply to claim the Guinness World Record, hearing that a boy from India currently holds the record for the most digits, with 12 fingers and 13 toes.
Polydactylism - being born with an extra finger or toe - is fairly unusual, but it is even more rare for someone to have spare functional digits on both hands and feet, as Le does.
Le lives with her family in a small wooden house on the outskirts of the Southeast Asian country's former capital of Yangon, where she runs around with seven toes on each foot.
Her 26-year-old mother said on Tuesday that she'd be happy to see Le gain a world record, but even without that, her daughter already has a happy life, and even some natural advantages.
"She seems to have a stronger grip on things - so she doesn't drop things much," she said, as Le played nearby with a mobile phone.
According to the Guinness World Records website, the record for most fingers and toes for a living person is currently held by two people in India, who have 12 fingers and 13 toes each.
