Charlotte Garside was born in Yorkshire, northern England, and she is like a dainty doll, due to her petite height and weight.
Charlotte is a very special and unique, a one-in-a-million baby who is sadlydiagnosed
with a rare genetic condition called 'primordial dwarfism.'
When she was born, Charlotte weighed less than 2lbs, measured 25cm and had to be dressed in dolls' clothes.
Her mother put her in nappies ('diapers' in the US) which were the size of a credit card.
Little Charlotte has some health problems, but she is not the sort of person who will fade into the background.
''She may be small but she has a massive personality and wants to do everything a normal five-year-old does,' says Charlottes mother.
''She is very inquisitive and the school have already told us she has a learning age of a three-year-old, which is higher than we thought."
"Of course, I was worried she could get hurt by the other children, but she has her own tutor look after her
and she's not as fragile as you'd think.''
Now measuring less than 70cm, she still wears clothes for newborns and is even dwarfed by the family's pet cat.

Charlotte is no bigger than a newborn, and she is smaller than her favourite teddy.
