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).
