Miracle Baby walks on her own

Peru's 'miracle baby' walks on her own (AP)

Two-year-old Milagros Cerron, center, plays with other children at her elementary school in Lima, Thursday, April 20, 2007. Milagros was born with a rare congenital defect known as sirenomelia or 'mermaid syndrome,' which left her legs connected from her heels to her groin. In June 2005 doctors successfully performed a risky surgery to separate her legs to above the knees. (AP Photo/Martin Mejia)AP - Peru's "miracle baby" walked around her nursery school yard Friday, ducking in and out of a plastic playhouse seven months after undergoing an operation to fully separate her fused legs.
