Update on Fabiola

 


Well here is a recent photo of Fabiola. She keeps growing and she remains a pretty quiet baby. She loves playing with her brothers, mother, father, me, and a few others. She doesn't like getting her picture taken and her mother is even worse. Fabiola is even cuter in person!! Her mom always wants me to erase the the photos! Her mother has her on her back wrapped in an aguayo. Usually women and sometimes men carry bundles, groceries, babies, and children with aguayos. They are great because they fit any load. An aguayo is just a beautiful woven square of sturdy cloth, bordered with a crocheted edging. Sometimes you don't know someone has a baby on their back until you hear some crying. I have seen women work on road crews with their babies on their backs. You just shift them around forward for feeding times!
