our 14 month old baby took his first tentative steps (4 in total, all in one go mind you!) yesterday. this amazing child has been with us since he was five days old and everyone has grown to love and adore him, it is so fascinating to not only see the concentration on his face as he puts his mind to something that will one day come as naturally as breathing, but also to see the wonderful house moms and volunteers encouraging him during their own shifts!, they really want to be the first ones to see him walk, there is a real competition going on there!
our prayer for him is that he will be placed back with his own family, but they haven't visited for over a year now and his mom is not in a great position to take him back home, it's a crying shame that she isn't sharing in his little life and those small steps that will see him grow into an amazing man.
