A New Day With Wonderful Progress

Today was just wonderful. I thoroughly am enjoying my time here! I got up this morning as the sun rose to the sound of babies crying to be loved. It was a busy morning feeding and bathing all the little ones before the team arrived.

As some of you will be delighted to know, Luis Fernandez took his first steps today alone! What progress from a little baby who needed to be fed with a dropper.
We also had a little one dropped off named Kaylee who is one and a half and only weighs 11lbs and is 22cm long. an average one and a half year old is 21 lbs. Crazy. Her mom had a really hard time leaving her here (which I imagine!) and Kaylee is having a hard time too, but we know it is for the best. She needs to get healthier.

I went into San Juan today to get some groceries and to look for a cake and candy for Lucky's birthday tomorrow. It was really nice seeing the "real" Guatemala again and tasting some "real" Guatemalan street food (don't tell Ron!!)

The ladies and I are getting closer and I am getting more confident talking with them. We went over some English and Spanish fruit names haha, I am learning Spanish better and the ladies English!
In all, it was a lovely day!
