Oh...These Babies

I have been spending a lot of time with the babies lately. They are hard to ignore, especially when we have so many of them. Some of the babies we have had with us since the day they were born. Others came to us a few months old. Over the past few months they have changed in so many ways. Most of them are able to sit up and a few are beginning to crawl. They are so much fun. It has become a part of my day to take a break from working and go sit with them.
Babies are amazing the way they find pleasure in the simplest thing. Our babies are all smiles. They are so content to sit and look around. The other day I took Moses out to the playground while the other children were playing and I put him on the slide. He laughed because the other children were there cheering him on…but I don’t think he liked the slide. Then I put him in the sandbox in his bare feet. He loved that.
I am enjoying these babies. They have captured a part of me that I held back after baby Andrew was adopted from us. It is not hard to fall in love with them.

All of the children are a special joy to us here, but these babies will grow always knowing me…I will be someone they have known since birth. That is special to me. They already know me and smile when I hold them and call their name. I love that.
