AJ's Sayings

As AJ grows, so does his vocabulary. He's been so cute trying out new words and ideas lately, I decided to record a few of them:

AJ: "Mom, could you tell me the story of Adam and Steve?"
Me: "You mean, Adam and Eve?" (shocked and alarmed)
AJ: "Oh... yeah."

AJ: "Mom, why does Spiderman shoot webs out his breasts?"
Me: "You mean wrists? Wrists?" (pointing)
AJ: "Yeah, Mommy why does Spiderman shoot webs out his WRISTS?" (laughing)
Me: "Just because he has special powers from the spider bite." (laughing, too)

Evelyn: "Will the Tooth Fairy come when my tooth comes out?"
Me: "You'll have to wait and see-ee."
AJ: "The Tooth Fairy's not part of our family! Silly Mommy!"

Me:"Evelyn you look like a little jack-o-lantern." (after losing her tooth)
AJ: "I think you look like a witch."
(Had to try and explain at this point that that was an insult.) :)

I'm sure there will be more to come. Loving all my pumpkins!

Baby Pictures!

I hear from the Riggs family that all mine and Justins' kids look like Conways. True? I would like to think they at least resemble Daddy, since I married him for his looks, after all. :) J/K. Anyways, I thought it would be fun to download pics of me and Justin and our kids as babies, so you could see for yourself. Whom does Elijah resemble? Take our poll and speak for yourself!

Elijah Edward Riggs

Entering the world on the rarest of all birthdays came Elijah Edward Riggs on February 29th, 2012 at 7:52am ("Eli" for short). My friend from Sweden tells me Leap Day birthdays are good luck. We definitely think he's special!

He arrived 2 weeks early but is still our largest by far at 8lbs 5 oz and 20" long. Our home felt more complete immediately when we got back from the hospital.

Elijah means "the Lord is my God" and Justin and I love the name because of Elijah's connection to the temple and the last days. Edward means "prosperous guardian." It is also Grandpa Conway's middle name.

Here are some pics of his first days at home and in the hospital. I'll also post some pics tonight of mine and Justin's baby pics, as well as Evelyn and AJ's. Have a little fun and complete our new poll (bottom of the page).
