Luis Manuel Gonzales has the mind of any ten-month-old infant. He is curious about his surroundings, he wants to reach out and touch and taste everything. He wants to explore; he is trying to learn to speak.

Unfortunately, that inquisitive spirit is trapped in a body which cannot walk, or even crawl. Luis weighs 62 pounds. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that is the perfect weight for a healthy nine-year-old.
