We had no problems making it to Guatemala, our flights were on time, and we didn't lose any luggage. YIPPEE! Caleb is beautiful. He looks great! He has all of his front teeth in already, and has the cutest little laugh.
This morning and early afternoon, Caleb was pretty nervous. He's been with us since this morning and we haven't been able to put him down once. He's very content just to be held, which is okay by us. He is also definitely a big fan of Keith...much more than me. Honestly, we think it's my blonde hair and blue eyes. Keith, of course, has been eating this up, but at least Caleb will let me hold him (as long as he can still look at Keith). I have to learn how to say "chopped liver" in Spanish, because that pretty much describes me in Caleb eyes! There are many, many other Americans here...the Marriott has a floor exclusively for adopting parents, with a baby lounge that includes a microwave, bottle sterilizer, toys, walkers, high chairs...etc. The gift shop even sells baby food and diapers!
This afternoon, he's been warming up to us, especially to Keith. I say that it's my turn tomorrow!!!
Otherwise, it truly is a beautiful place, I wish we had more time to go and see more of the city. That will wait until our visit trip.
Okay, I have to keep on working. Have a great rest of the week, and I'll be in on Monday with TONS of pictures!
