just a glimpse

Tonight I had the privilege of watching my good friend's son while her and the husband went out on a much needed date night. All night long I couldn't help but wonder about babyu. You see, it is a good possibility that our baby will be fairly close in age to Noah so it was such a blessing to hug, hold and play with a sweet boy just a few months older than our child (we are speculating age by what our US approval states). I had such a sweet time with him and couldn't help but wonder if they have some of the same mannerisms.

Noah was giggling like crazy as I was feeding him dinner.

When I tried to feed him a kiwi and banana mixture (sick, I know:) he would wrinkle up his nose and get this disgusted look on his face.

Everytime he sneezed he would laugh uncontrollably.

When he got super excited, he would wave his hands and wriggle his fingers in all different directions.

and when he got tired, he would lay his head on my shoulder and nestle in. Oh how tonight was so good for my heart. I cannot wait to meet this little person God has been preparing us for. I can't wait to learn his many faces, his different voices, his giggles, his belly laughs, the way his toes fit together and the way his hand feels in mine. I long to meet this sweet one.

Thanks D for making this wait a little more bearable by letting me love on your son tonight. It was so precious. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of what my nights will look like in a few months.

Tonight my friends, my heart is happy.
