Proud mama and beautiful baby!
I have to admit to being a bit surprised by this cria's very light color, though...  Leilani is dark brown and Dad  (Camilio's X-Man - aka Manny) was dark fawn with white markings on his face.  This baby is lighter in color than both of it's parents.   
Sadly, Manny passed away last month - just a day before his 17th birthday, so this cria is extra special... Scroll down a few blog posts to learn more about Manny.   We are delighted to have one last cria to follow in Manny's footsteps.  And as you may have guessed, it's a boy!

Though not what we expected, we love his pretty coloring.  It's hard to tell in the photos, but he is a beautiful light golden color all along his top side, fading to white on his underside.  We look forward to seeing how this little cutie matures!
