Mom & Dad took me to the pumpkin patch which is their favorite thing to do in the fall. The pumpkins were bigger than me but I had my overalls on so I didn't mind! I even got to go on the pumpkin scale.
My name is Jake (Jakob Grady Morrow) and I was born on Saturday, June 20th at 9:54am. I weighed 6 lbs, 15 oz and was 21 inches long. I came just in time for Father's Day and right around my due date...a perfect arrival in my mom & dad's eyes!
