"Baby" bible

Surprisingly the word "baby" is not mentioned in the book of Genesis. The first time the word is used in the bible is in Exodus in reference to Moses.
I doubt that we will name our child Moses, but I do pray that our child's life would be much like Moses'. Adopted (by God) into a family which they don't belong, life filled with God sized stories, meeting with God, adventure, being able to hear the still small voice, and lots of Grace.
I guess we could all wish the same! Please pray today for our child's attitude. May it have a sweet spirit, be easy to handle, a good sleeper, etc... As the child grows may Katie and I know how to care and nurture for the child in a way that brings it up rightly.
