Here's some pics of our new little one- Colby Riggs Grover. He was born on August 28th at 6:35 p.m. and he weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces, 20 3/4 inches long. He was our second biggest one so far, Matthew proudly continues to hold the record in our family. Of course, if Colby had been allowed to be a week late like Matthew I think he would have given him a run for his money. Everything went very well with the delivery, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Easiest one so far, I guess they do just slide out by number 5. The kids are all enamored with him. I was worried about Rex and you should have seen the look of shock on his face when they walked into the delivery room and he saw me holding a real, live baby. I had been trying to explain it all to him throughout my pregnancy so he would be prepared. The morning we went to the hospital I had a talk with him about how the baby was going to come out of my tummy now and when they came into the room I just about died laughing when I saw his face, it was pure disbelief. He quickly overcame the shock and wanted to hold him, except for one small moment when he declared "I don't want it!" Now that we are home he always runs to check on "Colby" he can say his name perfectly, and I have caught him giving him kisses on more than one occasion. I was so worried about how he would react and it is amazing how quickly he went from being the baby of the family to being a big brother, which makes me a little sad because he seems so old now. As for Colby, he is a super sweet baby and it took me only seconds to fall in love with him. This being boy #4 I was having a hard time picturing what he would be like, it was like I couldn't really wrap my brain around it until he was in my arms. Your heart just makes room for more. We feel so blessed that everything went smoothly and that he is so perfect and healthy.

Yay! He is finally here! He is so beautiful, Eliza! I know he's a boy, but you know what I mean! I loved reading about Rex and his reaction and how quickly he became the "big brother." Ava became so big to me, too! I miss her as a baby sometimes, but mostly I just love to see how grown up and adorable she has become, in her bigness.:)
I love the name Colby, it fits in so well with your family. And I love, love, love the picture of Colby wrapped in a towel... he looks like a perfect little angel! Thanks for your comment on my blog... how do you have time? Well I guess I've quite mastered the skill of nursing and typing one handed... in fact I'm doing it right now... :) A bit harder with a newborn tho!
Hope you're feeling ok, I'm excited to see more pics!!!
xoxoXoXXoOOx (did you see nacho libre??)
Awesome! I am so glad that everything went so well. He is adorable. If Matthew holds the record then they all had to be "better", right?? It looks like all you kiddos adore him. I especially like Owen's face, it is pure delight. That is hillarious about Rex and the "i don't want it". They are just too cute and funny for their own good sometimes. They also grow up way too fast. I hope everyting continues to go well with you and your family.
He is so cute! I am so glad that everything went well and the children are excited.
Soooo cute! Everyone looks so happy. Colby is so sweet. It's so great to have blogs I feel a little bit closer to you guys. I'm so glad everything went so well, but so sad to be stuck here in AZ. Make sure you pinch his buns and kiss his cheeks from his auntie T! Love you guys!
