Milestones....

As the wait continues and the precious pictures come in, I can't help but think about the milestones we've missed......his first smile, his first step, his first word, his first foods......But, as I was thinking about this "again" today, the Lord gently spoke to me about the milestones that we won't miss. The first time he smiles at us, the first time he takes a step in our direction, the first word he says to us, the first time he says mommy and daddy, the first foods we'll have together, the first time he comes to us for a hug when he needs comforting. The Lord is good about making a half empty glass really really full.
