Update Today!
How unexpected was that? He is doing great, has gained more than 2 pounds in a month, is growing, etc.
And I got 5 more pictures, including some with his eyes open and with his clothes off so I can actually see his body! He looks great, although not so Mayan looking.
I hope this picture attaches.

He's a cutie . . . he looks like my Lia! She was also born with light colored eyes, but now they have darkened to a hazel color.
Guatemala is a melting pot of so many different cultures - hispanic, mayan, asian, german, english, etc. etc. And all of the children are so beautiful.

Enjoy!
