312!


Three hundred twelve days ago our little Luke was born. As you may have quessed this isn't one of those typical markers of childhood, but is of great significance to our family. Faith was exactly 312 days old when we held her in our arms for the first time. Guess who figured that one out?
Luke has been a joy to watch, to love and to hold. These days have been absolutely precious and priceless. These past 312 days have been full of smiles and milestones (1st smile, 1st bath, eating solids, sitting up, cruising, standing alone, 1st tooth, 1st coo, 1st words and so many more). The milestones that marked Faith's first 312 days were not ours to have. I remember just asking God to allow us to have Faith home by her 1st birthday. He answered that prayer, plus he allowed her to be home for Christmas, her first tooth, her first step and he even let us be the first ones to feed her using a spoon.
