A Big Welcome to Little G. Oliver
I have wonderful news to share! My cousin Brent Riggs and his wife Nicole are the parents of a new baby boy, Griffin Oliver Riggs. He was born this afternoon, and mom and baby appear to be doing quite well, judging from the photos Nicole posted online.
Brent and Nicole told the extended family in August that they planned to name their son after Brent’s (and my) great-grandfather, G. Oliver Riggs. The G. in that case stood for George, but G. Oliver didn’t like the name George, so he used the initial.
It’s too soon to know what Griffin Oliver will think of his name, but there’s no doubt he will know that he’s loved. Congratulations to his parents and to big brothers Cody and Paul!
I don’t have any baby photos of my great-grandfather, G. Oliver – I wish I did.
